The short answer: is Flocknote right for your church?
Flocknote is a church communication tool with unlimited email and standard texts, signups and online giving, priced by member count. It's best for Catholic parishes and churches that want to text without counting credits. The catch: it's free only up to 40 members, and the household database and registration tools need Complete, at $75 a month extra.
Who Flocknote is for
Great for
- Catholic parishes that want sacrament tracking and religious education registration
- Churches tired of counting text credits every month
- Small ministries under 40 members that need a free tool
Skip it if
- Churches that need worship service planning and volunteer rotas. A service planning tool covers that.
- Churches that want image-heavy texts. Longer texts with pictures need Flocknote's paid SuperTexting add-on.
How churches use Flocknote
Weekly e-bulletin
Email the bulletin to the whole parish, then text a one-line reminder to the same list. Standard texts and email are unlimited, so you don't ration sends.
Potluck and volunteer signups
Use Signups for the fall potluck or Sunday volunteers instead of a clipboard in the lobby.
Religious education registration
On Complete, families register and pay for religious education online, and catechists see their own class roster and parent contacts.
