What we said about each
Our take on Powehi
The clearest engagement is also the most specific: an open-source Mistral model deployed inside a technical design office's own infrastructure, connected to its history of past quotes, cutting the average drafting time from four hours to one hour twenty and lifting the tender response rate by 35%. Nothing leaves the client's network, which is the whole point of the way this agency sells. That sovereign, open-source position runs through the rest of the work—on-premise model exploration for…

One published study carries the AI: the Greensight module built into Greenscope's ESG platform analyzes documents and auto-fills questionnaires, and the study reports report-editing time cut to under 30 minutes across a platform serving 5,000-plus companies. The BTP Consultants engagement is the larger delivery—a platform for 1,150 field staff reporting 95% lower maintenance costs and 20% higher productivity—but the write-up describes no AI in it, and the remaining studies are mobile and web…

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Powehi
Strengths
- Deploys open-source models inside the client's own infrastructure—the one listing here built around data never leaving the building
- The quote-drafting case publishes both a before and an after: four hours down to one hour twenty, tender response rate up 35%
- AI Act readiness and governance are a real line of work here, not a compliance paragraph
Watch-outs
- Founded 2024, six people—ask who would actually staff your engagement and what happens when two of them are busy
- One client is named; the rest are described by sector, so references are something you will have to ask for
- The site is generated by the agency's own pipeline and carries around 25 case pages against a two-year history—read them as engagement descriptions, not as a delivery count
Yield Studio
Strengths
- The AI stack is published—GPT, Claude and Mistral alongside PyTorch and scikit-learn on AWS and GCP—so a technical buyer knows what is on the shelf before the first call
- Client outcomes are stated as numbers throughout the portfolio: 94% more downloads for CPZou, 25% operational efficiency for Chronos, three-month delivery for Kinnarps
- Named French mid-market and enterprise clients in volume, with a Lyon office at 15 Rue des Cuirassiers rather than a virtual address
Watch-outs
- The site states more than 55 senior experts while this listing records 10-49—confirm current headcount and how many are AI engineers rather than product developers
- The internal R&D lab dates AI in production to 2024; ask for the AI engagements delivered since then, with clients you can call
- BTP Consultants is presented as an AI reference on the AI service page while its case study describes no AI—ask which part of that platform is model-driven

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.

Yield Studio
Rate: €85-130/hr
€40,800–€62,400
Only Yield Studio publishes a rate, so there is no gap to measure. Powehi quotes per engagement — ask for a rate card early, since a comparison that starts on scope and ends on price tends to end late.
Frequently asked questions
- Which has more SaaS & B2B experience, Powehi or Yield Studio?
- Both agencies show documented SaaS & B2B work. Yield Studio has the broader industry stack overall, with disclosed experience in Healthcare, FinTech beyond their shared focus.
- Which scores higher overall, Powehi or Yield Studio?
- Yield Studio scores 51/100, 6.2 points higher than Powehi at 44.8/100. See our methodology for how scores are calculated.
- Which is faster to engage, Powehi or Yield Studio?
- Neither publishes lead times, so this is a read on team size rather than a measured answer. Powehi runs the smaller team, which usually means fewer procurement gates and a shorter path to kickoff. Yield Studio 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 Powehi and Yield Studio?
- Consider running parallel discovery briefs with Powehi and Yield Studio 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.
