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 AGIgent
The one published study with numbers is anonymized: a CLIP pre-filter cascaded in front of a real-estate data provider's legacy image-matching algorithm, routing 90% of comparisons away from it for a 70-80% cut in processing cost at a 1% rise in error rate. The rest of the visible portfolio is staged research work—the GRIDFOR grid-forecasting project completed an ESA Kick-Start in August 2025 and lists its feasibility study as in execution, the PACAI antenna-calibration work is described as…

The Astotec study is the clearest deployment: a two-model machine-vision line in an auto-parts assembly plant that identifies the box type, counts the parts at 10 frames per second and drives an OK/NOT OK display at the workstation, built to run on-premise without internet access. The Wolters Kluwer Hungary tool that crawls, classifies and ranks web articles on legislation changes and the Nature Conservancy pipeline that pre-filtered 2. 3 million papers to 1.

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 AGIgent if you need
- closer collaboration at a smaller team scale
- disclosed specialization in Public Sector
- broader service offering — also covers AI Agents
Choose Lexunit if you need
- a more cost-effective engagement (~65% lower rate)
- larger team capacity for multi-stream or enterprise-scale programs
- disclosed specialization in FinTech / Legal
- broader service offering — also covers AI Automation
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
AGIgent
Strengths
- Partner roster names ESA and RAL Space (STFC, UKRI), with AGIgent as prime contractor on the ML4QS quantum-magnetometer denoising work
- Three named founders with LinkedIn profiles, a stated address at Faulhorn Labs in Budapest and a named investor (Stockhorn Capital)
- The engineering writing explains method choices—the cascade design in the image study, the tokenization and transparent-model posts—rather than name-dropping models
Watch-outs
- The founder cards on the homepage still carry lorem-ipsum placeholder quotes and the blog stops in mid-2024—ask what the team looks like beyond the three founders
- MAVIR, E.ON Hungária, ELMŰ, HungaroMet, ALTEO and Veolia appear as feasibility-study participants, not as paying clients—confirm the commercial relationship before counting them as references
- The image-comparison study names no client and the RF signal work is under confidentiality—ask for a speakable reference
Lexunit
Strengths
- Named testimonials from named people at Rolls-Royce Hungary, Atlas Copco Hungary, Wolters Kluwer Hungary, Hyundai Technologies Center Hungary and Profession.hu
- Published rates of €45–85/h, under the EU €100–200/h band, for a portfolio with three named delivered systems
- Case studies state the deployment constraints—on-premise, off-grid, 10 fps, weekly plan cadence—which is what an industrial buyer needs to judge fit
Watch-outs
- Case-study pages are dated August 2023 and the footer copyright reads 2023—ask for a recent reference
- The team page names a CEO, founder, CTO and head of growth and describes the team as founders, IT professionals and PhDs—ask who built the Astotec vision models and whether they are still on staff
- The Atlas Copco optimizer was verified on legacy data only—if you are buying a scheduling or optimization system, confirm it went live

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.
AGIgent
Rate: €85-130/hr
€40,800–€62,400
Lexunit
Rate: €45-85/hr
€21,600–€40,800
At this scope the published midpoints are about €20,400 apart, with Lexunit lower. AGIgent publishes Public Sector work that Lexunit does not — that is the one difference on this page that bears on the gap. If your brief does not touch it, the gap is buying something this comparison cannot see.
Frequently asked questions
- Which is cheaper, AGIgent or Lexunit?
- Lexunit is cheaper by roughly 65% — €65/hr median vs €108/hr at AGIgent. Published rates cover different things at different agencies — seniority mix, discovery and included revisions are the usual variables — so treat the gap as a question to ask, not a verdict.
- Which has more Manufacturing experience, AGIgent or Lexunit?
- Both agencies show documented Manufacturing work. Lexunit has the broader industry stack overall, with disclosed experience in FinTech, Legal beyond their shared focus.
- Which scores higher overall, AGIgent or Lexunit?
- Lexunit scores 51/100, 9 points higher than AGIgent at 42/100. See our methodology for how scores are calculated.
- When should I consider both AGIgent and Lexunit?
- Consider running parallel discovery briefs with AGIgent and Lexunit if your project spans multiple workstreams, you want competitive proposals to compare scope and approach, or you're undecided between the specialization angles each brings (see the Best for cards above). Most engagements ultimately go with one — but the parallel-brief phase is a low-cost way to validate fit.
