Independent ranking. Scores come from the published rubric below, applied to the feature data, not editorial preference. Free-first scoring: paid-only features carry a light discount (about 85% of a free feature's credit). Every number comes from the vendor's own pricing or help page, checked 5 September 2026. The cost row assumes 1,500 outgoing texts a month (about 300 people, 5 texts each) on the cheapest published plan plus extra-text charges. Prices change; we recheck every quarter.

How we score church texting services
Score = 100 minus the monthly cost at 1,500 texts, so $0 scores 100 and $100 scores 0. A tool that cannot receive replies, or publishes no price, scores 0 and ranks after every two-way tool. Ties break on texts included. Nothing else moves the rank.
