What we said about each
Our take on OstraconAI
Eleven case studies are published and every client is named, splitting into five internal tools, three AI-assisted outbound campaigns and three strategy or roadmap engagements. The deployment detail is strongest at Singa: an n8n and Gemini pipeline that enriches, scores and routes inbound leads into HubSpot, live in week three, with a Slack channel for flagging errors and prompts tuned weekly—manual lead sorting went from 45 minutes a day to single-digit minutes. Nordic Healthcare Group's Azure…

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…

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
OstraconAI
Strengths
- All 11 case studies name the client, and most quote a named executive with title—Sanoma Media Finland's Chief Commercial Officer, S-Group's Head of Marketing Strategies, Singa's CCO
- The Gosta Labs study publishes its funnel: 3,930 messages, 198 replies and 62 opportunities across three oncology congresses, with the best campaign near a 19% reply rate
- Handover is part of the delivery: Claude Code training at Barona and Claude training at Olo-apteekki so the client team maintains the tools itself
Watch-outs
- Several headline numbers are forecasts or quotes—Attendo is 'about to save' 9,000 hours, Sanoma's 'millions of euros' is an estimate—ask which figures were measured after launch
- The hourly rate on this listing sits well above the European range on our rate index, while the site prices by project and monthly retainer—ask how many hours the retainer buys
- Builds run on n8n, Copilot Studio, Azure, Clay, Apollo and Instantly—ask who owns the workflows and accounts, and who monitors them after the engagement ends
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.
OstraconAI
Rate: €250-400/hr
€120,000–€192,000
Solita
Rate: €45-85/hr
€21,600–€40,800
At this scope the published midpoints are about €124,800 apart, with Solita lower. OstraconAI publishes Healthcare work that Solita 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, OstraconAI or Solita?
- Solita is cheaper by roughly 400% — €65/hr median vs €325/hr at OstraconAI. 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, OstraconAI or Solita?
- Both agencies show documented FinTech work. OstraconAI has the broader industry stack overall, with disclosed experience in Healthcare, E-commerce, SaaS & B2B beyond their shared focus.
- Which scores higher overall, OstraconAI or Solita?
- Solita scores 68/100, 8 points higher than OstraconAI at 60/100. See our methodology for how scores are calculated.
- Which is faster to engage, OstraconAI or Solita?
- Neither publishes lead times, so this is a read on team size rather than a measured answer. OstraconAI runs the smaller team, which usually means fewer procurement gates and a shorter path to kickoff. Solita runs a larger one, which tends to mean more steps but more capacity to start parallel workstreams. Current kickoff availability is the number that actually decides it — ask both.
- When should I consider both OstraconAI and Solita?
- Consider running parallel discovery briefs with OstraconAI 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.
