## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "best for agencies" splits by what your clients sell, because the deliverable (ecommerce revenue vs. lead nurture vs. newsletters) drives the platform more than the agency features do. Here's the order I'd actually give:
> 
> **1. Klaviyo - if any meaningful share of your clients are ecommerce.** It's the default for Shopify/WooCommerce work, and the agency partner program is the real draw: a partner portal with one-click access to all client accounts, revenue-attribution reporting that justifies your retainer at renewal time, and tiered partner status with referral commissions. The catch is cost at scale - ~$100/mo at 5,000 contacts vs ActiveCampaign's $49, and $400 vs $186 at 25,000 ([costbench](https://costbench.com/compare/klaviyo-vs-activecampaign/)). That's fine when it's billed to the client and attributed revenue covers it; it's painful if you're absorbing it.
> 
> **2. ActiveCampaign - if you sell automation build-outs as a service.** Best-in-class visual automation builder, conditional logic, and CRM, which means the complex flows you build *are* the billable work. [Moosend's agency roundup](https://moosend.com/blog/email-marketing-software-for-agencies/
