Two senior-led Austrian software teams, separated by delivery guarantees, role coverage, and on-chain depth. The overlap is real: both teams build custom software, web and mobile apps, and production AI. Both publicly say senior developers scope and build the work, with founder-led project management. Dotbite combines engineering, AI, dedicated UX/UI, product owners, strategy, and consulting in one Vienna studio. Wavect guarantees no mid-level or junior developers, works in teams of one to three, and keeps product management, scope, and the end-to-end build with its founders. Wavect also publishes outcome pricing with weekly cancellation and a last-week refund, and specializes in Solidity and on-chain systems. Choose Dotbite for separate in-house roles. Choose Wavect for explicit team and commercial guarantees, founder-built delivery, and on-chain depth. Independent comparison published by Wavect. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Dotbite. PEER REVIEW This comparison was reviewed by **Dotbite** on 16 July 2026. Illustrative buyer scenario, not a customer quotation The real choice is not senior versus agency. It is separate specialist roles versus an explicit founder-built delivery guarantee. TL;DR Two senior-led Austrian software teams, both building custom software and production AI. Dotbite combines engineering, AI, UX/UI, product, strategy, and consulting in one studio. Wavect guarantees one-to-three-person senior-only delivery, founders who manage product and build, published outcome pricing, and on-chain depth. // 01 ## Decision snapshot VerdictThe practical split: Both build software and production AI. Choose Dotbite for separate in-house roles. Choose Wavect for explicit team and commercial guarantees, founder-built delivery, and on-chain depth. ### Wavect is best when - You want a guaranteed one-to-three-person senior-only team, with no mid-level or junior developers, where founders scope and build end to end. - You want the founders to own product management, challenge scope directly, and remain hands-on through the build. - Your product needs Solidity or on-chain systems, a specialization Dotbite does not publicly list. [2](#cmp-src-2) - You want published outcome pricing, weekly cancellation, and a last-week refund if the work misses the mark. ### The alternative is best when - You want dedicated UX/UI designers and product owners as separate roles alongside engineering. [2](#cmp-src-2) - You want engineering, production AI, design, strategy, and consulting available within one studio. [2](#cmp-src-2) [3](#cmp-src-3) - You value Dotbite’s published enterprise and public-sector work for clients like Zurich Insurance and the City of Vienna. [4](#cmp-src-4) ### Questions to ask before you choose 1. Which named people will actually work on the engagement, and in which roles? 2. Which responsibilities need a separate specialist role, and which should stay with the builders? 3. Which contract terms align delivery risk with the outcome you need? ### Commercial risk to watch - The visible price is not the whole cost; the risk sits in named staffing, role coverage, 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 Dotbite. // 02 ## How they actually differ Six dimensions that matter once production AI is treated as shared ground. | WAVECT | DIMENSION | ALTERNATIVE | | --- | --- | --- | | Senior only. No mid-level or junior developers. One to three people per engagement. Founders scope and build the work end to end. | TEAM MODEL | Multidisciplinary studio. Its site says senior developers scope and build the work, with founder-led project management and no handoff to juniors. [1](#cmp-src-1) Exact project staffing is not independently verified here. | | Founders combine product management and engineering. Product design is part of delivery, not a separate department. | ROLE COVERAGE | Dedicated UX/UI designers and product owners work alongside engineering, strategy, and consulting. [2](#cmp-src-2) | | The founders own product management, challenge scope, and remain hands-on in implementation through the end-to-end build. | PRODUCT OWNERSHIP | Dedicated product owners work alongside engineering, with founder-led project management according to Dotbite’s site. [1](#cmp-src-1) [2](#cmp-src-2) | | Solidity and on-chain systems are a published specialization with shipped mainnet work. | ON-CHAIN | No Solidity or on-chain specialization is listed in Dotbite’s public services. [2](#cmp-src-2) Verify directly if your scope needs it. | | Offers both weekly outcome retainers (€400 to €20,000) and fixed-price Werkvertrag projects from €3,500. Retainers cancel weekly and include a last-week refund. | COMMERCIAL MODEL | Offers fixed-price MVP development. [2](#cmp-src-2) No public price range is shown, so ask for a scoped quote and the contract terms. [2](#cmp-src-2) | | Founded 2018, 75+ products shipped, Google 5.0, Trustpilot 4.5, Clutch 5.0. Public-sector work includes IKB and SKD Dresden. | TRACK RECORD | Founded 2019. [5](#cmp-src-5) Multidisciplinary delivery for startups and enterprises, including Zurich Insurance and the City of Vienna. [4](#cmp-src-4) | // 03 ## The real difference, in practice Dotbite is a genuine peer, and we know the people behind it personally. Its public positioning overlaps substantially with ours: senior developers scope and build the work, project management is founder-led, and its AI offer explicitly targets production. [1](#cmp-src-1) [3](#cmp-src-3) Dotbite also has dedicated UX/UI designers and product owners alongside engineering, strategy, and consulting. [2](#cmp-src-2) We do not know its exact project staffing beyond those public statements, so this comparison makes no claim about team size. Wavect differs through explicit operating guarantees. We use no mid-level or junior developers, work in teams of one to three, and keep product management, scope, and implementation with the founders from first call through the end-to-end build. Our weekly outcome retainers have published prices, weekly cancellation, and a last-week refund. We also specialize in Solidity and on-chain systems. AI alone is not the divider: both teams publicly position AI work for production. The honest choice is role breadth versus explicit delivery guarantees. Choose Dotbite when you want dedicated design and product roles within the same studio or its client references match the work. Choose Wavect when you want a contractually senior-only one-to-three-person team, founders who manage product and build, transparent outcome pricing with buyer protection, or on-chain depth. See [how we build software](/services/software-development/) and [how we build AI into products](/services/artificial-intelligence/). // 04 ## When each is the better call // 01 ### When Wavect is the better call - You want a guaranteed one-to-three-person senior-only team, with no mid-level or junior developers, where founders scope and build end to end. - You want the founders to own product management, challenge scope directly, and remain hands-on through the build. - Your product needs Solidity or on-chain systems, a specialization Dotbite does not publicly list. - You want published outcome pricing, weekly cancellation, and a last-week refund if the work misses the mark. // 02 ### When Dotbite is the better call - You want dedicated UX/UI designers and product owners as separate roles alongside engineering. - You want engineering, production AI, design, strategy, and consulting available within one studio. - You value Dotbite’s published enterprise and public-sector work for clients like Zurich Insurance and the City of Vienna. Both teams can build serious software and production AI. The decision is whether you need separate specialist roles or Wavect’s explicit founder-built, senior-only, outcome-priced model. // 05 ## Relevant Wavect work - [SERVICE Custom Software Development](/services/software-development/) - [SERVICE AI Engineering](/services/artificial-intelligence/) - [CASE STUDY IKB: joined an in-flight city-wide LoRaWAN build for Innsbruck, scaled and extended](/case-studies/ikb/) - [CASE STUDY SKD Dresden: blockchain feasibility workshops for a world-class museum network, honest enough to rule out the hype](/case-studies/skd-dresden/) - [GUIDE How to choose a software development agency](/software-development-guide/how-to-choose-a-software-agency/) // 06 ## FAQs ### Is Wavect a direct competitor of Dotbite? Yes. We overlap on custom software, mobile and web apps, production AI, senior-led engineering, and founder involvement. Dotbite offers more separate in-house roles. [2](#cmp-src-2) Wavect publishes explicit delivery and commercial guarantees: no mid-level or junior developers, one to three people, founders managing product and building end to end, outcome pricing, and buyer protection. ### Does Wavect do design work? We do product design in service of shipping. It is strong enough for the products we build, but it is not a standalone discipline with its own department. If your project needs a dedicated UX and UI design function, Dotbite is the more appropriate fit. [2](#cmp-src-2) ### Does Wavect do general software work, or only AI and blockchain? Both. We do MVPs, full builds, and retainers across the modern web and mobile stack, plus production AI and on-chain systems. The difference is the operating model: one to three senior people, no mid-level or junior developers, and founders responsible for product management, scope, and implementation. ### Which is better for enterprise or public-sector work? Both have enterprise and public-sector work. Dotbite publishes work for Zurich Insurance and the City of Vienna. [4](#cmp-src-4) Wavect has worked with IKB and SKD Dresden. Choose based on the roles and delivery guarantees your project needs, not an assumption that only one team serves enterprise or public-sector buyers. ### Is Wavect cheaper than Dotbite? There is no public basis for saying which team is cheaper. Dotbite advertises fixed-price MVP development but does not publish a price range, so a like-for-like comparison needs scoped quotes from both teams. [2](#cmp-src-2) Wavect’s documented commercial advantage is outcome pricing with buyer protection: weekly retainers from €400 to €20,000, cancel any week, and refund the last week if it did not blow you away. A [fixed-price](/glossary/fixed-price/) [Discovery Phase](/glossary/discovery-phase/) starts at €3,500.
