## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short version
> 
> "Agency" cuts two ways here - you're either operating programs *on behalf of clients* (so you need multi-tenant access, separate logins, clean client reporting) or you're a performance/media-buying shop running volume. That changes the pick. Here's my order:
> 
> **1. Everflow** - My default recommendation for most agencies. It was built in the performance-advertising world, so multi-advertiser setups, click-level analytics, SmartLinks, and fraud tooling are native rather than bolted on. Agencies and networks are a core customer segment, not an edge case. Entry is around $750/mo on the Core plan (6-month contract), with mid-market programs landing $1,000-$3,000+. Best capability-per-dollar in the category.
> 
> **2. TUNE (formerly HasOffers)** - The one to pick if true multi-tenancy is the hard requirement. TUNE explicitly supports building multi-tenant environments where an agency manages multiple clients, each with separate logins, reporting, and configuration. That's the thing most SaaS tools fail at. Scale plan is ~$1,500/mo billed annually with 2,500 conversions included; custom above that.
> 
> **3. impact.com** - The enterprise answer, and widely rated the stronges
