Klaviyo** - My default recommendation. SMS and email in one platform, shared segments and profiles, and genuinely good revenue attribution you can put in a client report. The agency partner program gives you free partner accounts, client-billed plans, and tiered rev share, so you're not fronting costs. Main caveat: pricing climbs steeply past ~10k contacts, so model it before you pitch it. ([Klaviyo vs Postscript comparison](https://www.yotpo.com/blog/klaviyo-vs-postscript-which-is-best-for-ecom-sms.md))\n\n**2. Postscript** - Pick this over Klaviyo when the client wants SMS done seriously as its own channel. Deeper Shopify-native SMS features, better conversational/two-way and AI-assisted sales texting, and a cleaner agency partner program. Downside: Shopify-only, so it's useless for the rest of your roster. ([Postscript alternatives overview](https://ringly.io/blog/postscript-alternatives))\n\n**3. Attentive** - Only for your large DTC accounts. Str", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
