Why does it matter for agencies?
Attio's verdict positions it as a white-label client tool for GTM retainers, not a resold platform, and the absence of a verified agency or multi-tenant reseller program means agencies that build margin on markup will lose. The economics that do work are setup plus optimization: a $2,250 starter build at roughly 20 hours, then a $297/mo retainer against a Pro seat at $69/mo annual or $86/mo monthly. The strategic stake is whether your agency owns the workflow layer inside the client's CRM or rents it from a platform that already sells direct to the same buyer.
