What we said about each
Our take on Dashbouquet
The AI evidence splits into two kinds: production-scale data extraction—Dashmote's beverage-menu platform pulled menus from 10,000-plus venues across 45-plus countries in 12 languages, processing 100 GB a day on AWS, Kubernetes, Argo Workflows, SpaCy and PyTorch over 16 months—and early LLM product work, where BetterYou's therapist dashboard and a dating-assistant app document model bake-offs (GPT-4, Claude 3, Llama 3, Mixtral) but publish no usage or accuracy figures. That split is a buyer…

Read the full assessment →Our take on Phenomenon Studio
Across the five AI-tagged case studies read, the studio's documented role is design and front-end delivery: it designed the Taitor math-tutor MVP and the Wolf Games case-maker interface, redesigned and rebuilt the Wisdom mobile app in Flutter, and designed and built the AIRES real-estate CRM, while the model work in each is described as the client's own—Wolf Games' Gemini 2. 5 and Veo 2 pipeline, Wisdom's sensor and camera detection. The outcomes published are business and design results rather…

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Dashbouquet
Strengths
- Team composition and duration are published per data project (2 engineers, 2 analysts, 1 PM over 16 and 18 months), so you can size a comparable engagement
- Sprint rhythm is stated and consistent across the site: features every 1–3 weeks, two-week demos, and a Clutch 1000 listing for 2025
- Pyroscope's CEO reviews the firm by name on Clutch, and the collaboration is described down to the Node.js and Ruby profiling agents delivered
Watch-outs
- Ask what became of the BetterYou and dating-assistant builds after handover—both studies stop at model selection with no adoption or accuracy numbers
- Confirm who leads the ML work: the about page names no engineers, and the AI services page lists Caffe, Theano and CNTK among its platforms, which are years out of maintenance
- The AI services page positions the firm around OpenAI-style APIs—if you need a fine-tuned or self-hosted model, ask for a reference beyond the SpaCy and OCR extraction work
Phenomenon Studio
Strengths
- Clutch shows a 5.0 rating across 50-plus reviews, and the founders (Valerii Filimonov, Polina Chebanova) are named on the about page with a 2019 founding date that matches the registry
- Usability testing is documented rather than claimed: the Wisdom study describes task-based sessions with older adults and caregivers before release
- Tech stacks are published per case (Flutter, Java, Spring Boot, AWS on Wisdom; React, Python, AWS on Isora), so you can check fit with your own platform
Watch-outs
- Ask which engineers on the team have shipped a model, a RAG pipeline or an evaluation loop—the case studies name designers and front-end stacks, not ML roles
- Confirm who owns the AI component after handover; in every AI study read, the model or generation pipeline belonged to the client
- The services page lists RAG, agents and computer vision as offerings—ask for a reference where the studio built one, since none appears in the published case studies

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.
Dashbouquet
Rate: €45-85/hr
€21,600–€40,800
Phenomenon Studio
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.
