Comparison: Texts
Our plans are designed with your church’s growth in mind, offering flexibility, affordability, and features you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re sending 50,000 texts or over a million, see why more churches are choosing Church Posting for their communication needs.
Which plan is right for my church?
Which plan is right for my church?
After reviewing the chart, here’s how to determine the best plan for your church’s needs and why Church Posting is the smarter choice over Clearstream.
Church Posting Unlimited ($97/Month)
Perfect for churches with manageable texting needs who still want access to powerful communication tools. It includes 1,000 text segments every month, and any additional texts cost just $10 per 1,000. This flexibility keeps costs low, even for growing churches.
With Unlimited, you’re not just getting texting—you’re also unlocking tools Clearstream doesn’t offer, like websites, training portals, follow-up automations, and social media management.
Choose this plan if you need an affordable, scalable solution for weekly updates, visitor follow-ups, or announcements without committing to unlimited messaging.
Church Posting Universe (iM starting at $247/Month)
For high-volume churches, Universe offers predictable pricing with truly unlimited texting within carrier fair use policies.
Universe also unlocks iMessage capabilities, enabling significantly higher reply rates. iMessage feels personal, builds trust with the blue bubble, and provides end-to-end encryption for secure communication—all critical for keeping your congregation engaged.
This plan is ideal for larger ministries or multi-campus churches that send tens of thousands of messages monthly and need reliable, flat-rate pricing for SMS or for the added benefits of iMessage.
Making the Choice
Every church is unique, and your communication needs will determine the best plan for you. The chart above shows how Church Posting plans compare, providing you with transparent pricing and powerful tools for ministry.
Whether you’re scaling your communication with Unlimited or maximizing engagement with Universe, Church Posting is designed to help your church grow and connect with its community.
How Do Credits Work on the Unlimited Plan?
With the Unlimited Plan, you get $10 worth of credits included every month, which you can use flexibly:
- Texts: Approximately 1,000 text segments per $10.
- Emails: Approximately 10,000 emails per $10.
- Phone Numbers: Numbers cost between $1–$3/month, and credits can cover these too.
- Website Domains: Credits can be applied to domain costs as well.
These credits are shared across all services, not specific to each, and they roll over every month. If you don’t use all your credits, they’ll accumulate for future needs, like during high-volume periods (e.g., holidays).
Can I Add Extra Credits?
Yes! If you exceed the included $10 in credits, your account will be auto-charged for additional credits. You can set your wallet threshold to a preferred amount:
- Example: Set a $250 threshold to minimize frequent charges for high usage.
- Or, keep it lower if you rarely exceed your included credits.
What About Phone Numbers?
- You can have unlimited phone numbers.
- They typically cost $1–$3 per month each, deducted from your credits.
- Porting Numbers: Yes, you can port a phone number into Church Posting Unlimited (not Universe)
- Short Codes: These are not available yet but are coming soon.
What is A2P and How Does It Work?
A2P (Application-to-Person messaging) ensures compliance for sending text messages in the U.S. It’s required by carriers to verify your messaging campaigns, helping prevent delivery issues or filtering.
Here’s how it works with Church Posting:
For Unlimited Plan Users:
- Here’s what to expect:
- One-time setup fee: $20–$40 per campaign.
- Monthly A2P fees: $1–$2 per campaign (covered by your credits).
- For high-volume campaigns (e.g., hundreds of thousands of messages), you can upgrade to a high-volume A2P verification.
- Here’s what to expect:
For Universe Plan Users:
- No A2P verification or related fees are required. The Universe Plan bypasses these requirements entirely, offering unlimited texting and iMessage capabilities seamlessly.
If you have questions about A2P verification or need help setting up, our team is here to assist!
How Does Pricing Work on the Universe Plan?
The Universe Plan is truly unlimited for SMS and iMessage, but it comes with specific requirements:
- One Phone Number Only: Unlimited texting and iMessage are linked to a single phone number by default. You can upgrade to add more unlimited phone numbers, but each additional number comes with an associated cost. Please contact our sales team for specifics regarding this.
- No Porting: You cannot port in an existing number.
- Custom Setup: This plan is tailored to your church’s needs, so you’ll need to book a call with sales to confirm eligibility.
What Happens if I Don’t Use My Credits?
Credits Roll Over! If you don’t use your credits in a given month, they’ll accumulate. For example:
- Over three months, you could save $30 worth of credits.
- This is especially useful for seasonal spikes in communication, like holidays or events.
How Are Costs Managed if I Go Over My Credits?
If you exceed your $10 credits on the Unlimited Plan:
- Additional usage will be charged automatically from your wallet.
- Set a wallet limit that matches your needs to control how often charges occur.
Why Do I Need a Call to Book Universe?
The Universe Plan is highly customized and designed for churches with significant texting needs.
- It’s truly unlimited, but we ensure it aligns with your communication goals before setup.
- Sales will guide you through eligibility and the tailored features of this plan.
Can I Switch Between Plans?
Yes, you can upgrade from Unlimited to Universe at any time. Just contact sales to adjust your plan.
Is iMessage Available on Unlimited?
No, iMessage capabilities are exclusive to the Universe Plan.
What Happens During Holidays When My Texting Needs Spike?
With rollover credits, you can save up unused credits from slower months and use them during busier seasons at no extra cost.
