How Credits Work in Text In Church

Credits power your messaging. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance based on the tier you select. Here is what each credit covers:

  • Standard SMS (up to 160 characters) — 1 credit

  • SMS with special characters or emoji (up to 70 characters) — 1 credit

  • Voice broadcast (up to 60 seconds of audio) — 1 credit

  • MMS message with an image — 3 credits

  • Incoming messages — Free

Credits do not roll over from month to month. If your church approaches its credit limit, you will receive in-app notifications at 70%, 80%, and 90% usage so you can plan ahead.


Monthly Pricing by Credit Tier

Choose the credit tier that matches your church's average monthly message volume. Prices are per month on a monthly billing cycle, ranging from 500 credits all the way up to 400,000 credits!

Save approximately 16% by choosing annual billing!


How to Choose the Right Plan for Your Church

If your church is small or just getting started with texting, Messaging Core covers the essentials at the most affordable price.

If you are actively following up with guests or want to use voice broadcasting and AI tools to streamline outreach, Messaging Plus is the right fit.

If you manage multiple campuses or need professional email, a social media inbox, or integrations like Zapier, Messaging Suite has everything your ministry needs.
