## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd bring them up:
> 
> **1. Sprout Social** - the default if budget allows. Deepest analytics, strong social listening, solid approval workflows, and reporting polished enough to put in front of enterprise clients. The catch is per-seat pricing that gets painful fast for a team of ten.
> 
> **2. Sendible** - the one I'd name first for a small-to-mid agency specifically. It was built around the agency use case: client dashboards, per-client permissions, true white-label (custom domain, your logo), and a priority inbox across clients. Around $299/mo for the agency tier, with white-label as an add-on on lower plans.
> 
> **3. Agorapulse** - best balance of price and agency features. White-labeled PDF reports, genuinely good inbox/moderation, and shared calendars with client approval. Pricing is per user (~$149/mo) with profile caps, so model it against your client count before committing.
> 
> **4. Cloud Campaign** - the pick if your model is *reselling* social under your own brand, especially for franchises or many small local clients. Prices per brand workspace with unlimited users instead of per seat, which is a different economic shape than ever
