Independent research methodology

While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Pros

“It has allowed us to simplify our systems and unify them into a single communication platform for both E-Mail, Text, and Tap Tags.”

Tyler D.

Creative Director

“I wish I had the option to hold an automated workflow until someone filled out a PCO form, or entered a certain step in a PCO workflow, and then continue them on from there.”

Tyler D.

Creative Director

“It integrates very well with planning center allowing us to keep everything in one system and place and easily add new folks as they visit and to stay in touch with them as they get to know us. ”

Brad J.

Pastor Lead Elder

Pros

“Compared to other texting systems, what we love most about Gloo is that we never run out of credits for the month and our texts can be as long as we want and include pictures and gifs and memos!”

Courtney V.

Discipleship Assistant

“I can incorporate longer messages, compose documents (memos), have automatic responses based on respondents words.”

Pedro T.

Associate Pastor

“The Explorer feature opened up an opportunity for use to see how we could use Gloo's features in the context of using texting within our church.”

Richard W.

Lead Pastor

Cons

“The biggest is not being able to edit their digital connect card, and also not being able to edit sign-up forms to make them match brand customization.”

Tyler D.

Creative Director

“By only allowing subaccounts to exist with unique phone numbers, we are concerned about overwhelming our congregation with options. But by having all of our staff/leaders use our main account for their communications, we're concerned about muddying what should be a very simple communication system.”

Reagan D.

Communications Coordinator

“I don’t really like that the limited number of messaging credits expire and are replenished monthly.”

Jeff W.

Technology

Cons

“Slashing the Gloo+ credit limit from 15,000 down to a measly 5,000 credits per month, while keeping the price exactly the same, is a massive 66% reduction in value.”

David S.

Executive Pastor

“To make matters worse, they have the nerve to charge an extra $75/month for "Powerpacks" just to get back a fraction of what we were already paying for.”

David S.

Executive Pastor

“I do not like the auto-response that my prayer people get when they respond to a prayer request when they answer back that they are praying.”

David R.

Prayer Minister
