Leaders use the web app; members do not need to install an app. Messages can be sent from dedicated phone numbers assigned to groups such as ministries, classes, volunteer crews, teams, committees, or any other group within the organization. Member replies are private to leaders, not broadcast to the whole group. This makes Connect Saints different from ordinary group chats where every reply goes to everyone and personal phone numbers are exposed. ## Key Features - SMS and MMS messaging with dedicated phone numbers - Email communications - Private two-way replies visible to group leaders - SMS-only, email-only, and SMS plus email review flows - AI text drafting for SMS/email, including clarification prompts and map-link support - Message compliance checks before sending - Automatic least-cost SMS/MMS routing for long messages, emoji-heavy messages, and image messages, with manual overrides - Built-in cost calculator before sending - Quiet hours for respectful sending - Role-scoped admin workspaces for group leaders, organization admins, and system admins - Organization and group management - Location-based organization and group discovery with manual address fallback - Member directory and contact management - Group contact-card/vCard links with delivery-safe icon resizing - Billing and subscription management - Real-time notifications - Multi-role access control (system admin, org admin, group admin, member) - Public What's New release notes and searchable help articles ## Pricing Summary Connect Saints uses prepaid, transparent pricing with no contracts.
