Why does it matter for agencies?
Howie's $25 monthly Team plan buys unlimited teammates and an iMessage agent that handles scheduling back-and-forth, which makes it cheap internal overhead relief for any agency juggling client calendars. But the verdict is blunt: no published white-label program and no multi-tenant client reporting dashboard, so agencies cannot package Howie as a resellable retainer layer the way dedicated agency platforms allow. The strategic call is to deploy Howie on your own delivery team's calendars and treat client-facing scheduling as a $299/mo setup service, not a product you own.
