Cloudflight is the outlier: an Austrian digital engineering firm headquartered in Graz with more than 250 staff, building AI, data-engineering and cloud-native software for industrial and enterprise clients. Everything else listed here is small. DatenVorsprung is a TU Wien spin-off founded in 2020, working on verifiable AI systems for industrial and public-sector clients. enliteAI has run a deep-tech practice in reinforcement learning and computer vision since 2017, with a venture studio alongside it. eMentalist covers predictive analytics and data strategy from Vienna with offices in Munich and Frankfurt, and Data Technology works the finance, retail and media end. Others arrive from adjacent disciplines rather than from data science: allUpp implements Salesforce and Agentforce as a recognized Agentforce Implementation Expert, and wukonig.com has run online marketing in Graz since 1999 and now monitors AI-search visibility. Only DatenVorsprung and Dev House Austria publish an hourly band, at €45–85 and €20–40, and the distance between those figures is wider than any market rate—they describe different purchases, not a going price. Assume a quote on request everywhere else. Waterglass is the only entry reviewed so far, and the review generalizes usefully: it names InStaff, notus, HHLA Next and Heylog, but the case-study links behind those names did not resolve, while the products it built itself, including Notehouse, acquired in 2025, are checkable without asking anyone. Apply that test here. Ask what an engagement leaves behind, a roadmap or a running system, and who operates it afterward. ## Questions buyers ask ### How much do AI Consulting agencies in Austria charge?
