## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For agencies specifically, the deciding factors are client separation, approval workflows, white-label reporting, and whether pricing punishes you for adding seats and profiles. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Sendible** - The most genuinely agency-native of the big tools. Client-specific dashboards, approval workflows, and true white-labeling (your own domain and branded interface), not just branded PDFs. The catch: full white-labeling is an add-on on the upper tiers only, roughly $349/mo and up, with Enterprise around $750/mo. If white-label is a selling point in your pitch deck, it's worth it; if not, you're overpaying.
> 
> **2. SocialPilot** - The best value for agencies managing a lot of accounts. Unlimited users on the top tier (~$170/mo annual for 40 accounts) and white-label reporting included rather than sold as an add-on. Compare that to per-seat tools and the math is not close. Weaker on social listening and deep analytics.
> 
> **3. Agorapulse** - The strongest inbox and team-collaboration experience; agencies that live in DMs and comments tend to love it. Plans run ~$79/$119/$199 per month on annual billing. Watch the structure though: it's per-user with only 10
