## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Depends on one fork in the road: are you managing accounts the *client* owns (you're agency-of-record on their seat), or reselling messaging under your own brand? Different lists. Here's who I'd actually name.
> 
> ## If clients own the account and you manage it
> 
> **1. Klaviyo** - My default for ecommerce agencies. SMS and email run off the same profiles, segments, and flows, so you're not rebuilding audience logic twice or reconciling two attribution reports. Partner tiers give you a managed-accounts dashboard and rev-share. The pitch that holds up: one tool, one set of automations, [per Arctic Leaf's comparison](https://www.arcticleaf.io/blog/learning-center/klaviyo-attentive-postscript).
> 
> **2. Attentive** - Where I'd go for larger retail clients. Best-in-class deliverability, dedicated short codes, serious list-growth tooling. The catch is contract shape: platform fee starts around $300/mo but quarterly minimums of $2,000-3,000 are typical and mid-market brands land at $1,500-5,000/mo - so it only makes sense for clients with real volume, not your $3k/mo retainer accounts.
> 
> **3. Postscript** - Shopify-only, SMS-only, and that focus is the point: fastest to launch, deepest Shopify-nat
