WAVECT vs ALLOQ

Wavect or alloq.digital. One independent freelancer, or a senior team with two accountable founders.

Alloq is one independent Tirol freelancer delivering SaaS, MVP, AI-agent, and automation work, with other freelancers brought in when a project requires them. Projects are quoted individually at fixed price, with ongoing retainers for operation and development. We are a senior-only team with two founders carrying product management and the technical call, backed by 75+ shipped products across 17 countries. If you want one direct freelancer for a contained scope, Alloq fits. If continuity, verifiable proof, and fractional CTO ownership matter, we fit.

“We hired a solo developer because the price was on the website and the calls were direct. Eight months in, the product needed mobile, AI, and someone to own the roadmap. That is when one pair of hands stopped being enough.”

Decision snapshot

VerdictThe practical split: If the bullets on the right describe your build, one direct freelancer with an external network can be the leaner pick. If the bullets on the left describe it, talk to us.

Wavect is best when

  • Your product needs more than one pair of hands: parallel workstreams, mobile plus web plus AI, or a second senior brain reviewing architecture decisions before they calcify.
  • Continuity is a board-level question. A team survives vacation, illness, and departure structurally; a solo operator has to improvise around them.
  • You need the product call, not just the build. Fractional CTO, roadmap ownership, and scope pushback are part of our job description, not an add-on.

The alternative is best when

  • You want one direct regional freelancer who can bring in other freelancers around a contained scope.
  • A fixed project quote plus an ongoing operations retainer matches how you prefer to buy software.
  • Your project sits squarely in SaaS, MVP, AI-agent, or workflow-automation delivery and does not need fractional product leadership.

Questions to ask before you choose

  1. Who owns the decision behind “TEAM SHAPE” once delivery starts?
  2. What proof should you ask for before trusting the “TRACK RECORD” claim?
  3. What happens commercially if the “PRICING TRANSPARENCY” trade-off turns out wrong?

Commercial risk to watch

  • The visible price is not the whole cost; the risk sits in team shape, track record, and the moment scope changes.
  • Ask what the vendor is paid to increase: hours, seats, retained advice, platform usage, or shipped outcomes.

Evidence notes

  • Use the official source link on this page as the starting point, then verify pricing, legal entity, references, and terms before signing.
  • This comparison is based on the page’s stated facts and Wavect’s own operating model, not on a hidden quality claim about alloq.digital.

The real difference, in practice

Alloq is one independent freelancer, not a standing agency team. Its current site describes fixed project quotes tailored to scope, followed by an ongoing retainer for operation, maintenance, and development, and says other experienced freelancers join when a project requires them. That is a credible network model for contained SaaS, MVP, AI-agent, and automation work, but the contracting and continuity centre remains one person.

The structural difference is accountability and proof. Alloq can assemble a freelancer network around the work. Wavect starts with two named founders who both carry product and engineering depth, and the senior team works inside our accountability line. Parallel review, continuity, and escalation do not depend on which external freelancer is available after the scope changes.

The second difference is what is being sold. Alloq sells development: SaaS builds, MVPs, AI automation, plus productized websites for hotels and trades. There is no published product-management or CTO-level offer. We run as fractional CTO, which means the build-or-not call, the roadmap, and the pushback on scope come from the same heads that ship the code. On a contained build that distinction costs you nothing. On a product that has to survive contact with users and investors, it is usually the difference that decides the outcome.

The third is proof you can check. Our case studies carry names you can look up, and our review scores are public: Google 5.0, Trustpilot 4.5, Clutch 5.0. Alloq’s six case studies are anonymized and its testimonials are first-name-only, which is normal for a young solo studio, and also harder to verify. See the MVPs we ship and hold both of us to the same bar.

When each is the better call

When Wavect is the better call

  • Your product needs more than one pair of hands: parallel workstreams, mobile plus web plus AI, or a second senior brain reviewing architecture decisions before they calcify.
  • Continuity is a board-level question. A team survives vacation, illness, and departure structurally; a solo operator has to improvise around them.
  • You need the product call, not just the build. Fractional CTO, roadmap ownership, and scope pushback are part of our job description, not an add-on.
  • Your references end up in front of investors or procurement and need to be checkable: named case studies and public review scores, not anonymized projects.

When alloq.digital is the better call

  • You want one direct regional freelancer who can bring in other freelancers around a contained scope.
  • A fixed project quote plus an ongoing operations retainer matches how you prefer to buy software.
  • Your project sits squarely in SaaS, MVP, AI-agent, or workflow-automation delivery and does not need fractional product leadership.
  • You need a productized niche website, for a hotel or a trades business, where their packaged offer is purpose-built and a product team would be oversized.

FAQs

One independent freelancer. The imprint names Simon Daum as the operator, while the current site says projects can be implemented with experienced freelancers when needed. That is a freelancer network, not a standing agency team. Ask who is committed to your project, who reviews critical decisions, and what continuity is guaranteed in the contract.
Alloq says it can deliver with experienced freelancers around the founder. Ask which people are contractually committed, who holds architecture context, and how replacement works. At Wavect, continuity starts with two named founders and one to three senior people who know the codebase. The difference is whether support depends on an external network or is built into the vendor.
Possibly, but the current site no longer publishes comparable tiers. Alloq quotes a fixed price per scope and an ongoing retainer; our weekly retainers run €400 to €20,000 and our fixed-price Discovery Phase starts at €3,500. Scope the same outcome with both and compare who owns product decisions, continuity, and post-launch work, not only the total.
Not that they publish. The offer is development: SaaS, MVPs, AI automation, and niche websites, delivered with weekly demos and clean handover. If your gap is purely execution, that can be enough. If you also need someone to own the roadmap and push back on scope, that is the job our fractional CTO model exists for.
Yes, both shops are based in Tirol, Austria. We did not write this comparison out of rivalry. Buyers searching for a software partner in the region find both of us, and we would rather they compare the two models honestly than guess. If your project is the right shape for a solo operator, Alloq is a legitimate local pick.
