What we said about each
Our take on ML6
The published case library runs to 34 studies, and the ones read in full carry before-and-after numbers rather than adjectives—Scout24's HeyImmo assistant moved user satisfaction from 68% to 75% and first-token latency from 8 seconds to under 5, and Syngenta's lab-inspection vision model doubled analysis speed across half a million wells a year. Studies name the stack down to the component (OpenAI direct API, Pydantic agents, DataDog on Scout24's own AWS; Vertex AI for Syngenta) and describe…

The impact studies are the most consistently quantified set in the register: Eneco's personalized engagement platform delivering recommendations to two million households automatically, a pricing engagement reporting an 11% profit increase, and clinical-trial site selection that widened the eligible patient pool by 40% and picked fifteen sites contributing a quarter of the enrollment target. Named clients run to bol. com, ABN AMRO, Rabobank, Eneco, Heineken, KPN and NS, though the deeper…

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 ML6 if you need
- closer collaboration at a smaller team scale
- disclosed specialization in Manufacturing / Public Sector
- broader service offering — also covers AI Agents
- a higher overall editorial score
Choose Rewire if you need
- larger team capacity for multi-stream or enterprise-scale programs
- disclosed specialization in Healthcare / E-commerce
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
ML6
Strengths
- Case studies publish client-side quotes from named engineering managers, not marketing testimonials
- Published outcomes at the national cyber security center include 3x faster vulnerability handling and 70% faster NIS2 response
- Both major clouds are in evidence—AWS and Google Vertex AI appear in separately documented builds
Watch-outs
- Two energy studies run anonymized as "Energy Company"—ask for a speakable reference if you need one in that sector
- No published rates, team size, or founding year; anchor with the EU €100-200/h band and ask who staffs the work
- Delivery sits across four offices—confirm which one your team would come from
Rewire
Strengths
- Publishes outcome numbers on most engagements, including profit and forecast-accuracy figures rather than adoption metrics
- The Eneco platform is running unattended at two-million-household scale, which is a rare thing to be able to check
- In-house academy means the capability can stay with your team rather than leaving with the consultants
Watch-outs
- The most detailed studies anonymize the client by sector—ask for a reference in yours before committing
- No published rates; anchor with the EU €100-200/h band and expect program-scale pricing

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.

Only Rewire publishes a rate, so there is no gap to measure. ML6 quotes per engagement — ask for a rate card early, since a comparison that starts on scope and ends on price tends to end late.
