WAVECT vs DECTRIA

Wavect or dectria. Similar service menus, different operating shapes.

dectria is a Styrian software company founded in 2022 that presents itself as a software company from Graz, offering digital consulting, web and mobile apps, AI and data, process digitalization, modernization, and three of its own SaaS products across DACH. Wavect was founded in 2018 and carries a longer international track record across product, mobile, AI, IoT, and on-chain work. If regional presence and a broad consulting menu matter, dectria fits. If founder-level product ownership and proof across markets matter, we fit.

Decision snapshot

VerdictThe practical split: If the bullets on the right describe your project, dectria is the closer fit. If the bullets on the left describe it, talk to us.

Wavect is best when

  • Your product needs depth across multiple capabilities (mobile, IoT, complex frontend, AI integration), not just AI delivered as a standalone capability.
  • Your customer base extends well beyond DACH and you need a vendor whose track record is international, not regional.
  • You want a longer reference list and a higher number of shipped products in front of investors or procurement.

The alternative is best when

  • You value named DACH enterprise references you can chase yourself. Their references page publishes Österreichische Raiffeisen-Sicherungseinrichtung (ÖRS), EVN, Raiffeisen Rechenzentrum, Raiffeisen Informatik Center Steiermark, Raiffeisen Landesbank Steiermark, Land Steiermark, and others.4
  • Your build is a content site, marketing pages, or a documentation portal. Their technologies page names Astro as their framework of choice for exactly that kind of work.3
  • You are buying locally and want a vendor that publishes a page for your city. Their regions section lists St. Martin im Sulmtal, Graz, Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, and Klagenfurt, plus Germany and Switzerland.5

Questions to ask before you choose

  1. Their technologies page names Next.js as their preferred framework for demanding web applications and SaaS products, Astro for content sites and documentation, Flutter for cross-platform mobile, NestJS for backends, and PostgreSQL as their primary database.3 Ask which of those they would put your product on and what moving off that choice would involve. Ask us exactly the same about our defaults.
  2. For the named enterprise references, ask whether you can contact them directly to confirm the scope and outcome that was delivered.4 Ask us for the same access to ours and compare what each side is willing to open up.
  3. We looked for published prices, rates, or engagement terms on their site on 4 August 2026 and did not find any.2 Ask for the engagement model and pricing basis in writing, and where the cost ceiling sits if scope changes.

Commercial risk to watch

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

Project fit: not limited to small builds

Project size and provider headcount are separate decisions. Wavect’s delivery unit is a named senior core, but that does not limit the work to MVPs or short startup projects. Larger projects are split into phases with separate budgets and acceptance criteria. We also build internal systems and process automations inside a client’s existing repositories, tooling and workflows. A vetted bench supports continuity and scope-specific capacity. A larger provider may still be the better choice when the main requirement is several parallel teams, an incumbent framework agreement or certifications Wavect does not currently hold.

How they actually differ

Six dimensions where the two agencies actually diverge.

WAVECT DIMENSION ALTERNATIVE

Founded 2018. 75+ products shipped. Google 5.0, Trustpilot 4.5, Clutch 5.0.

TRACK RECORD

Founded 2022 according to their about page, which also dates their DACH activity to that year.1 dectria GmbH is recorded in the Austrian company register as registered on 26 April 2022 and active.6

Full-stack product builds across modern web, mobile, AI, and IoT, with smart-contract capability when projects need it. AI is one capability inside a shipped product, not the product itself.

PRODUCT SCOPE

Digital consulting, web and mobile apps, AI and data solutions, process digitalization, and modernization, plus three SaaS products of their own: NetCero, Campivio, and PiroBI.2

Startups, scale-ups, and corporates rolling out a product internationally.

TYPICAL CLIENT SHAPE

Austrian and DACH enterprises and public bodies. Their references page names Österreichische Raiffeisen-Sicherungseinrichtung (ÖRS), EVN, Raiffeisen Rechenzentrum, Raiffeisen Informatik Center Steiermark, Raiffeisen Landesbank Steiermark, Land Steiermark, Radio Soundportal, Holzindustrie Kirnbauer, and Bühnen Graz.4

Client delivery in English and German. Site localized in EN, DE, ES, ZH for international reach.

DELIVERY LANGUAGES

Site published in German and English.12

17 countries. Austrian-headquartered, working internationally.

AREA SERVED

Austria and the DACH region, with landing pages for St. Martin im Sulmtal, Graz, Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Germany, and Switzerland.5 Their own pages say the company is based in Graz; the register lists the seat in Styria at St. Martin im Sulmtal.56

Weekly outcome retainer or fixed-price Werkvertrag. Founder in every call.

ENGAGEMENT MODEL

We looked for published prices, rates, or engagement terms on 4 August 2026 and did not find any, so ask for the model in writing.2

The real difference, in practice

dectria and Wavect are both DACH-native software teams with real overlap. Their published service areas are digital consulting, web applications and mobile apps, AI and data-driven solutions, process digitalization, and modernization, and they run three SaaS products of their own: NetCero for ESG management and GHG reporting, Campivio for camping infrastructure, and PiroBI for privacy-first business intelligence.2 Named enterprise references and a broad consulting menu are legitimate strengths.

The difference is not the frontend framework. Their technologies page names Next.js as the preferred framework for demanding web applications and SaaS products, Astro as the framework of choice for content sites, marketing pages and documentation portals, Flutter for cross-platform mobile, and NestJS for backends.3 That is close to our own list, so the framework is a weak reason to pick either of us.

What actually differs is operating shape. dectria is building a consulting-led DACH software company with its own platforms alongside client work.2 We stay deliberately smaller, senior-only, and founder-led on every engagement, with product management and engineering decisions kept in the same room.

Location is worth reading precisely. dectria GmbH is recorded in the Austrian company register as registered on 26 April 2022 and active.6 The seat on file is in St. Martin im Sulmtal in Styria, while their own pages describe the company as based in Graz and serving clients across Austria and the DACH region.51

dectria fits when regional presence, a broad service menu, and named local references reduce procurement risk. We fit when speed, direct founder accountability, international delivery, and a longer cross-domain product record reduce product risk.

When each is the better call

// 01

When Wavect is the better call

  • Your product needs depth across multiple capabilities (mobile, IoT, complex frontend, AI integration), not just AI delivered as a standalone capability.
  • Your customer base extends well beyond DACH and you need a vendor whose track record is international, not regional.
  • You want a longer reference list and a higher number of shipped products in front of investors or procurement.
  • You want founder-grade pushback on scope, not a delivery team briefed against a finished specification.
// 02

When dectria is the better call

  • You value named DACH enterprise references you can chase yourself. Their references page publishes ÖRS, EVN, several Raiffeisen entities, and Land Steiermark.4
  • Your build is a content site, marketing pages, or a documentation portal. Their technologies page names Astro as their framework of choice for exactly that kind of work.3
  • You are buying locally and want a vendor that publishes a page for your city. Their regions section lists St. Martin im Sulmtal, Graz, Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, and Klagenfurt, plus Germany and Switzerland.5
  • Your scope is contained and you want a single capability delivered cleanly, not a broader full-stack product partner.

FAQs

Yes. Wavect was founded in 2018. Their about page gives 2022, and the Austrian company register records dectria GmbH as registered on 26 April 2022.16 Four-year difference, with 75+ shipped products on our side from that window.
No. Our revenue is predominantly international, so we deliberately do not. Their regions section publishes pages for St. Martin im Sulmtal, Graz, Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Germany, and Switzerland, which is a legitimate differentiator if you are buying a local vendor.5
Yes. Their published service areas cover digital consulting, web applications and mobile apps, AI and data solutions, process digitalization, and modernization, and their technologies page names Flutter as their choice for cross-platform mobile.23 The practical difference is not whether they can build a product. It is whether you want a consulting-led DACH vendor with its own SaaS platforms, or a smaller senior-only team with two founders carrying the product and technical call throughout.
Because the operating shapes differ. They combine regional landing pages, consulting, product delivery, modernization, and three SaaS platforms of their own.52 We combine a longer international track record with senior-only delivery and two founders accountable for product and engineering. Neither of us publishes a headcount, so ask both sides who will actually be on your project and for how many hours a week.
Neither agency publishes flat hourly rates, so a direct comparison is not possible.2 We looked at their site on 4 August 2026 and found no published prices or rates. Our weekly retainers start at €400 per week, full-stack delivery runs €10,000 to €30,000 per month, and our fixed-price Discovery Phase starts at €3,500. Ask them for a quote per scope and compare it against ours line by line.
