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 DevXHub
The AI entries in the portfolio are builds for AI companies rather than AI built into a business: an all-in-one tools hub delivered in three months as design, backend and integration work, and a conversational platform in the same shape. No case study publishes a model choice, an evaluation or a result, so what is demonstrated is the ability to ship a product around someone else's models. Read the geography before shortlisting: the Helsinki presence is an office, and the company's own site puts…

The KONE engagement is the one to read: sensor data and machine learning feeding predictive maintenance across more than 150,000 elevators, published with 40% fewer repair call-outs, 70% of faults identified before they occur and 50% fewer entrapments, with KONE's own data science manager on record about what Solita's people contributed. Public-sector delivery is unusually well evidenced for this market—an adverse-drug-reaction application in production at the Finnish Medicines Agency with two…

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 DevXHub if you need
- a more cost-effective engagement (~54% lower rate)
- closer collaboration at a smaller team scale
- disclosed specialization in SaaS & B2B / E-commerce
- broader service offering — also covers AI Agents
Choose Solita if you need
- larger team capacity for multi-stream or enterprise-scale programs
- disclosed specialization in Manufacturing / Public Sector
- broader service offering — also covers Generative AI and AI Automation
- a higher overall editorial score
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
DevXHub
Strengths
- A large published case library across e-commerce, analytics, ERP and internal tooling, so general delivery capability is easy to assess
- Stated team of 55-plus with offices on three continents, which supports timezone coverage and staff augmentation arrangements
Watch-outs
- No AI case study names a model, an evaluation method or an outcome—ask what was engineered versus integrated, and who made the model decisions
- The Helsinki listing is an office and delivery is based elsewhere; confirm where your team sits, which entity contracts and how your data is handled
- DevXHub publishes no rate itself; the €20-40/h shown here comes from a third-party directory listing and reflects an offshore delivery model
Solita
Strengths
- The KONE predictive-maintenance work publishes three operational numbers and names the client's own data science lead
- Regulated public-sector delivery with named references: a production application at the Finnish Medicines Agency, AI strategy for Kela, responsible-AI training for NATO
- 2,200 people across Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Poland, the UK and Switzerland, so multi-country delivery is in-house
Watch-outs
- Several published studies are strategy or enablement rather than shipped systems—ask which of them ended in something running in production
- At this scale the named team decides the outcome; ask who specifically staffs your engagement and what they last shipped
- €45–85/h for enterprise AI—confirm what that rate covers and where the work is performed

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.
DevXHub
Rate: €20-40/hr
€9,600–€19,200
Solita
Rate: €45-85/hr
€21,600–€40,800
At this scope the published midpoints are about €16,800 apart, with DevXHub lower. Solita publishes Manufacturing work that DevXHub 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, DevXHub or Solita?
- DevXHub is cheaper by roughly 54% — €30/hr median vs €65/hr at Solita. 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 FinTech experience, DevXHub or Solita?
- Both agencies show documented FinTech work and have similar industry breadth. Compare directly on the agency profiles: DevXHub and Solita.
- Which scores higher overall, DevXHub or Solita?
- Solita scores 68/100, 26 points higher than DevXHub at 42/100. See our methodology for how scores are calculated.
- When should I consider both DevXHub and Solita?
- Consider running parallel discovery briefs with DevXHub and Solita 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.
