Side by side
Published data on both agencies. Where one side measurably differs, the dot marks it: the higher score, the lower published rate, the larger team, the more recent review. Which of those is an advantage depends on your brief.

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…

A full-cycle software company since 2007 whose service catalog runs from mainframe support to the metaverse, with AI as one line among forty. That breadth is the context for everything below. The AI evidence is one properly documented engagement: Haia, an agentic finance platform unifying banking, crypto and DeFi in a single interface.

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
- closer collaboration at a smaller team scale
- disclosed specialization in SaaS & B2B
- broader service offering — also covers AI Agents
- a higher overall editorial score
Choose Innowise if you need
- larger team capacity for multi-stream or enterprise-scale programs
- disclosed specialization in Manufacturing
- broader service offering — also covers AI Consulting and AI Automation
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, well under the €100–200/h EU band
- 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
Innowise
Strengths
- The Haia engagement is documented with product name, client quote, team composition by role and a start date—unusually structured for this market
- Operating since 2007 with delivery capacity across many disciplines, so an AI project that turns into a platform project does not need a second vendor
- Warsaw base with the cost structure that implies, against Western European rates
Watch-outs
- The case library carries a notice that identity, scope, timelines and results may be generalized or modified for illustrative purposes—ask which parts of a case study are literal
- AI is one service among roughly forty; confirm the size and seniority of the AI bench specifically rather than the company

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
Innowise
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.
