## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-05 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. 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.

> ## If you're an agency reselling the platform to clients
> 
> **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.

> **2. Perspective** - mobile-first funnel builder with white-label sub-accounts, built-in CRM, email/SMS, and A/B testing.
