Switching from Clearstream to MosesTab

Get full ChMS, not just texting

Most churches complete the switch in under 30 minutes

Why churches switch from Clearstream

Clearstream is texting-only. MosesTab gives you texting plus a full church management system — members, giving, events, check-in, volunteers, and more.
Most churches paying for Clearstream also pay for a separate ChMS. Consolidating onto MosesTab typically saves $50-150/month after switching.
MosesTab includes mass texting, automated message sequences, and keyword-based opt-ins alongside member, giving, and event management.
Your Clearstream contact lists and message templates export to CSV and import directly into MosesTab.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my existing texting number?

Number portability depends on the carrier. Most short codes and 10DLC numbers can be ported with a few weeks' lead time. We recommend planning the switch with a transition period where both numbers are active.

Does MosesTab's texting match Clearstream's deliverability?

MosesTab uses commercial-grade SMS infrastructure with the same TCPA opt-in/opt-out compliance Clearstream provides. Deliverability is comparable for properly opted-in lists.

What about two-way conversations and replies?

MosesTab supports two-way SMS so members can reply to your messages. Replies route to your communications inbox where staff can respond from the same thread.
