FAQ
Does Zendo's $49/mo Pro plan remove the 'Powered by' badge?
No. Zendo's $49/mo Pro plan still displays Zendo branding and charges +$12.50 per extra seat. Removing the badge requires Zendo Agency at $79/mo + $17/seat ($147/mo for 5 seats). AgencyQueue Pro removes the badge, adds custom domain & SMTP, and includes unlimited seats for $49/mo flat.
Why does scanner-safe POST-guarded approval matter?
Corporate email filters prefetch every GET link in an email. AgencyQueue keeps GET strictly read-only and requires an explicit POST button click to approve deliverables and advance the queue.
