Local Insight
AI Development Agencies in the Netherlands
Size, not specialty, is the first sorting axis on this page. DEPT sits at the top—Amsterdam-headquartered, founded in 2016, staffed in the thousands and operating across many markets, which makes who is assigned to your project the variable that matters most. Rewire and Xomnia bring the established data-engineering bench: Xomnia's Enexis excavation-risk model is named down to logistic regression, MLflow and Airflow, and VodafoneZiggo's customer-facing search runs on retrieval-augmented generation in production. WeAreBrain's HEINEKEN receipt validation read more than 30,000 receipts across three campaigns, about 80% of them without a human. At the small end sit 010 Coding Collective and Blackbirds, and Klevere, an Amsterdam studio publishing agent builds—more than a million candidates analyzed on KlearSkill—with no registration number, no address beyond the city and a personal LinkedIn profile in place of a company page.
Verify who you are contracting with before money moves, particularly at the small end. Above that, the useful screen is stack specificity: Xomnia and WeAreBrain name architectures and tooling in public, DEPT publishes outcome figures, and several entries describe capability without either. Neither pattern is disqualifying, but it tells you how much of the engineering conversation happens before the contract rather than after it. Published rates run from €45–85 an hour at Boldare, Lizard Global and WeAreBrain—each delivering partly from outside the Netherlands—through DataNorth AI at €150 and DEPT at €130–170, to Rewire at €260. Most publish nothing at all. Decide first whether you need capacity or a specialist, because those two purchases share this page and little else.
