> 
> **Pros**: Excellent messaging platform that is free. Integration with Planning Center. Discounts on really helpful related software.
> 
> **Cons**: The contact groups and integrations can sometimes get messy.
>

### "Best messaging provider for churches" — 5.0/5

> **Stephen** | *December 5, 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Automation options, scheduled messages, segmentation, the Planning Center integration, and the ability to receive replies
> 
> **Cons**: With Gloo messaging, I wish it were easier to also use it as a personal texting number to engage with people one-on-one.
> 
> Overall, Gloo can't be beat for the price point. It is so much more bang for the buck compared to other texting providers, and on top of that it offers a bunch of other features that others don't.

### "Regretting our decision to move over to Gloo." — 3.0/5

> **Chris** | *November 4, 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the amount of text we can put in a single text. That amount is 4 times what we could put in our last text system.
> 
> **Cons**: I find the web interface is glitchy, and depending on what browser you pick, some features do not work.
> 
> We regret switching from Text in Church. We were sold on the idea that it would always be free, but we had no idea there was a free side and a paid side. If you are considering switching, I would take three months to test it before switching.

> 
> **Pros**: It is user friendly and wow it really helps connect the church.  I've been learning all of the features and it has been good at connecting me with ministry leaders.

> 
> My overall experience has been great.  It has helped me to not only reach those that are local but those that have connected with the ministry over time.
