Ministry Brands
The system fits extremely well with our non-profit requirements and provides us the capability to report to our congregation their payments to the Church. The system is set up for recurring events and not one time events. This would not fit a for profit business very well.

Text In Church
Text In Church is perfect for relational customer interaction. If you're just looking to push information to your customers, without any ability to respond, you don't need this tool. But if you want to take your customer service to the next level, show up on platform customers already use, and allow customers to reach out with questions, Text in Church is perfect for you.

Cons
Ministry Brands
  • The only thing I can suggest is frequency of memorized transactions, to allow for bimonthly billing. Right now, the system allows for 26 week cycle.
