What we said about each
Our take on 10Clouds
The financial-services case studies are the ones to read: a live lead engine for Polfund, a credit-guarantee fund, that screens up to 5,000 public tenders a day on the firm's own AIConsole platform, and a credit-assessment redesign at an unnamed Polish bank that cut analysis time from 90 to 19 minutes per case and reports 698 analyst hours saved a month. The stack is named throughout—Dynamics 365, Azure OpenAI, Whisper, DeepFace—and an internal AI-recruiter write-up describes what failed before…

Read the full assessment →Our take on Algomine
The multi-agent engagement is the one that shows the shape of the practice. For a Swedish industrial group of more than 15,000 people operating in over a hundred countries, Algomine ran two parallel workstreams for more than two years: maintaining two production AI applications, a document analyzer and a configuration assistant for bespoke heat exchangers, while building the greenfield multi-agent platform meant to replace a hard-coded chatbot the client had bought elsewhere. The reasons the…

Where each agency measurably leads on the published data — team capacity, declared specializations, editorial scoring, and rates where both publish them. Use these to match an agency to your project priorities.
Choose 10Clouds if you need
- disclosed specialization in SaaS & B2B / Healthcare
- broader service offering — also covers AI Agents
Choose Algomine if you need
- disclosed specialization in Manufacturing / E-commerce
- broader service offering — also covers AI Consulting
- a higher overall editorial score
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
10Clouds
Strengths
- Published rates of €45–85/h against production fintech deployments
- AIConsole is the firm's own open-source orchestration platform and appears in three of the four fintech studies, so you are buying a repeated pattern rather than a first build
- Third-party corroboration is visible: 90-plus Clutch reviews at 4.9, Deloitte Fast 50 and FT1000 listings, and a Select-tier Claude Partner Network listing
Watch-outs
- The strongest metrics (79% faster analysis, 698 hours a month) belong to an anonymized bank—ask for a speakable reference behind that study
- The homepage claims 120-plus AI deployments while the site publishes about eight AI case studies—ask for the list behind the number
- Positioning since the merger is finance-only; if your brief sits in another vertical, confirm who would staff it
Algomine
Strengths
- The industrial engagement is documented as a two-year, two-workstream relationship covering legacy maintenance and greenfield platform work at the same time
- Vendor lock-in is treated as an architectural requirement, with the platform built to be model and vendor agnostic after the client's costs concentrated in one ecosystem
- Twenty published case studies with eleven naming the client, across banking, retail, pharmacy and precision manufacturing
Watch-outs
- The flagship multi-agent client is anonymized despite being identifiable from the description—ask for a speakable reference on it
- The studies explain architecture rather than reporting results; ask what the platform changed in cost, cycle time or adoption
- Named clients like PKO Bank Polski and Rossmann carry no described engagement—ask what was delivered for the two closest to your sector

Pricing math
What a 12-week engagement at one full-time equivalent (~480 hours) costs at each agency’s published rate. An arithmetic projection, not a quote — real scopes move with seniority mix and team shape.
10Clouds
Rate: €45-85/hr
€21,600–€40,800
Algomine
Rate: €45-85/hr
€21,600–€40,800
Published midpoints are within 5% of each other — at this scope the difference is smaller than the estimate's own error bars. Decide on specialization, not cost.
