One upfront caveat: the top results for this query are mostly affiliate-driven SEO content (one \"best marketing automation for agencies\" ranking was published on a New Zealand *bed retailer's* blog, and \"Wishpond is best overall\" is a strong affiliate-commission tell). So I've used the searches for current pricing and weighted the ranking on what agencies actually run.\n\n## If you're an agency reselling the platform to clients\n\n**1. GoHighLevel** - the default answer, and genuinely hard to beat for this use case. Unlimited client sub-accounts, each isolated, plus CRM, funnels, email, SMS, scheduling, and reputation management in one bill. $297/mo (Unlimited) is the workhorse agency plan; $497/mo (SaaS Pro) adds the SaaS configurator so you rebrand it as your own product, set your own tiers, rebill usage with a markup, and let clients self-signup. Agencies typically resell it at $97-$297/client, so it becomes a margin line rather than a cost. Downsides are real: the UI is cluttered, email deliverability needs your own sending setup, and support is thin.\n\n**2. Perspective** - mobile-first funnel builder with white-label sub-accounts, built-in CRM, email/SMS, and A/B testing.", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
