Every guest you add gets a text back. You just say yes.

No. Planning Center, Rock, CCB: whatever you use stays your database. SaltLight works alongside it rather than replacing it. With Planning Center, new guests flow in from your forms and guests you add by text are written back. Rock is in early access, and Breeze, CCB, Tithe.ly and others are coming soon. No church software at all? SaltLight works on its own: snap a card or text a guest in, and follow-up starts. Tell us what you use.

No. Every guest is texting with a real person from your church, and their replies go to that leader. SaltLight writes a first draft in your voice, and it never texts a guest on its own. Every guest text goes out because a leader approved it, sent it, or asked for it. SaltLight handles the remembering, and your people do the caring.

It’s stored on AWS, encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never sell it or train AI on it. An AI provider helps SaltLight read cards, draft and summarize messages, and answer questions. Guests never see a leader’s personal number.

They won’t have to. There’s no app to download and no login for day-to-day follow-up: leaders get a text and reply by text. A short practice run with a pretend guest shows them how. Start with one leader, add more when your team is ready, and we’ll walk your team through setup.

Every guest has a leader, and SaltLight keeps after that leader. If a leader goes quiet, SaltLight sends them a reminder. If a new guest never gets a first text, the backup partner set on that CareFlow gets a heads-up, so give every CareFlow one. If the guest goes quiet, SaltLight nudges the leader to check in. Every conversation is kept in a thread you can review in the portal.

Each guest gets their own thread on its own number, so conversations stay separate. Save that number under the guest’s name. If the same person comes back later through a new card, they’ll show up on a new number. Lost track? Ask SaltLight in the thread what the guest said last, or hand the guest to another leader with one text.

No. Most church texting tools are built to broadcast: announcements, reminders and automated sequences. When they’re used for follow-up, someone still has to look up the guest, log in, write the text and keep track of who answered. SaltLight flips that around. The guest comes to your leader, right in the messaging app they already use, with a first message already drafted in their voice. One reply sends it, and SaltLight keeps your leader on it while the conversation is open.

Each plan is a flat monthly price set by message volume, not by people, and every plan includes unlimited leaders. A message is every text SaltLight sends or receives for you, to guests and to your leaders. Pick a plan by how many cards you get on a normal week (the size picker above is a good starting point), and move up anytime for a big Sunday. Not sure? Text us your weekly card count and we’ll suggest one.

No. Plans are month to month, and you can cancel anytime. Our first 50 churches get founder pricing, locked while you stay, plus a direct line to the team building SaltLight. If you leave, the guests SaltLight added to Planning Center stay there.

Yes. You pay for texting volume, not headcount, so a small church starts small, and church plants have their own Plant plan. Multiple campuses or a large church? We offer custom plans and a guided rollout.
