> # Best review management software for agencies
> 
> Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest you evaluate them. The right pick depends less on feature checklists than on two things: whether you want to **resell under your own brand** and whether reviews are your whole offering or one line item in a bigger stack.
> 
> **1. GatherUp - the default pick for a review-focused agency.**
> Purpose-built for agencies rather than retrofitted for them. White-label portal, bulk client management, multi-client reporting, reseller pricing, and a dedicated account manager on the Agency plan. Strong on the parts agencies actually bill for: automated request sequences, first-party reviews and NPS surveys, AI insight reporting, and review display widgets. Agency pricing is quote-only. It's been in this niche the longest (formerly GetFiveStars) and it shows in the multi-location dashboard. ([GatherUp for Agencies](https://go.gatherup.com/agencies-ppc), [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/239159/GatherUp/pricing))
> 
> **2. GoHighLevel - if reviews are one piece of a larger retainer.**
> Not the deepest review tool on this list, but the best economics by a wide margin if you're also selling CR
