## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## What I'd actually recommend, in order
> 
> **1. Sendible** - The default pick for a multi-client agency. It was built around the agency model rather than retrofitted into it: separate client dashboards, approval routing, white-label reporting and a branded client portal. Agency-tier pricing runs around $299/mo, with white-label as an add-on. Choose it if you manage 10+ client accounts and want one tool to be the whole stack.
> 
> **2. Agorapulse** - Best if your retainers are heavy on community management. The unified inbox with team assignment, saved replies and inbox-zero discipline is the strongest of the group, plus white-labeled PDF reports. Priced per seat (~$79/seat Essentials, $199 Standard, $299 Professional), so it gets expensive fast with a big team - great for small senior teams, painful for 15 people.
> 
> **3. Cloud Campaign** - The one to use if you resell social under your own brand. It prices per *brand workspace* with unlimited users (~$229/mo) instead of per seat, and the white-labeling goes all the way to the client-facing interface and domain. For franchise work or a true white-label offering, the pricing model alone makes it the winner.
> 
> **4. Sprout Social** - Best ana
