Klaviyo** - My default recommendation for most agencies. SMS and email live in one platform on one unified customer profile, which means you're not stitching together two tools and two attribution reports for every client. Deep Shopify/WooCommerce integration, a real agency partner program with tiering and referral revenue, and most of your clients already have it for email - so the SMS upsell is a feature toggle, not a migration. Weakest spot: conversational/two-way texting is thin.\n\n**2. Postscript** - Best pick when clients are Shopify-specific and price sensitive. Transparent published pricing (Starter at $0/mo with a $49 minimum spend, ~$0.009/SMS; Growth $100/mo; Professional $500/mo at ~$0.007/SMS) makes it easy to build a margin into a retainer and forecast client costs honestly. Has a dedicated [partner program](https://postscript.io/partner-resources) for marketing agencies. Scales well from tiny stores up to mid-market.\n\n**3.
