## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-02 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd bring them up:
> 
> **1. Grade.us** - The default answer for agencies specifically. It was built as a reseller product rather than a direct-to-business tool that later added an agency tier, so the white-labeling goes deep (custom domain, branded emails, client-facing dashboards) on every plan, and the per-client economics make sense when you're reselling at a markup. Review generation drip campaigns are its core strength. Pricing runs roughly $110/mo entry up to ~$400/mo for 10 locations depending on tier.
> 
> **2. Birdeye** - What I'd pick if your clients are mid-market or multi-location and the review tool needs to sit alongside messaging, surveys, and listings. Monitors 200+ review sources, white-labeling on agency/enterprise plans, and it's the one your clients' procurement people will have heard of. Starts around $299/mo per location, so it's expensive if you're servicing small local businesses.
> 
> **3. Vendasta** - Not just review management; a full white-label marketplace (reviews, listings, social, SEO, ads) with built-in billing and a client portal. Choose this if your actual goal is to resell a suite under your brand, no
