## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "best for agencies" splits on what your clients sell, so here's my ranked list with the fork called out.
> 
> **1. Klaviyo** - if any meaningful share of your clients are e-commerce (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce), this is my default. The partner dashboard gives you one view across all client accounts with health/opportunity flags, clients own their own account (so you're not the billing middleman and you're not holding their data hostage when they churn), and the revenue attribution reporting is what actually renews retainers. Free partner program with tiers up to Elite. Downside: clients have to add you as a user per account, and it gets expensive on big lists.

> 
> **2. ActiveCampaign** - my pick for B2B, services, coaching, local businesses - anything where the value is in branching automation and CRM-ish lifecycle logic rather than product feeds. Deepest automation builder in this price class, and the partner program has proper agency discounts plus a one-login client management view. Watch the contact-based pricing:
