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 Addepto
Two published case studies show computer vision running in client operations: an image-quality engine for Teezily built on a VGG network and trained on the platform's own uploads, and a shelf-compliance system for Spencer's across 600-plus North American stores, with the stack named down to YOLO, Paddle OCR and Azure. Both describe what was built and integrated rather than what was demonstrated—but neither publishes an outcome number, so the efficiency claims stay qualitative. The strongest…

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 Addepto if you need
- closer collaboration at a smaller team scale
- disclosed specialization in E-commerce / SaaS & B2B
- a higher overall editorial score
Choose Innowise if you need
- larger team capacity for multi-stream or enterprise-scale programs
- disclosed specialization in FinTech / Healthcare
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Addepto
Strengths
- Names the stack rather than hiding it: VGG for quality detection, YOLO and Paddle OCR for shelf analysis, both integration-ready
- Spencer's engagement operates across 600+ stores, so the retail work is at genuine chain scale
- Independent corroboration exists—Clutch 4.9 across 18 reviews, Deloitte Fast 50 and FT1000 listings
Watch-outs
- No published outcome figures in either named case study—ask for the before-and-after numbers directly
- Operates as a KMS Technology company; clarify who staffs your project and from where
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
Service coverage
Both agencies cover the same services — on this axis there is nothing to separate them, so decide on the evidence behind the work rather than its labels.
Industry coverage
Where the two overlap, and where each covers ground the other does not.
Pricing math
What a 12-week engagement at one full-time equivalent (~480hours) costs at each agency’s published rate. An arithmetic projection, not a quote — real scopes move with seniority mix and team shape.
Addepto
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.
