Decision snapshot

VerdictChoose Wavect if your brief calls for custom AI workflows that fit your systems and access rules. Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.

Wavect is best when

  • We take on custom AI workflows that fit your systems and access rules, with scope and responsibilities agreed upfront. Wavect’s offer
  • Our development offer connects scope decisions, reviewable increments and handover.
  • Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.

The alternative is best when

  • You want a finished company GPT off the shelf and the published feature set covers your need.3 We build and host local LLM setups too, just not off the shelf.
  • SharePoint, Confluence and file-server retrieval out of the box is most of the job. Their MyGPT page states that it searches documents from SharePoint, Confluence, file servers, and more.1
  • You are a mid-sized company without a dev team, and licensing beats building on every axis that matters to you.

Questions to ask before you choose

  1. For custom AI workflows that fit your systems and access rules, what must the first phase cover?
  2. With MyGPT licensed rather than owned, which parts of the resulting solution stay yours and which remain on the vendor’s platform once the licence ends?
  3. MyGPT Basic starts at EUR 1,690 per month for up to 50 users. Business, Professional and Enterprise require a quote; included tokens are subject to the published fair-use conditions.4 Request a written quote from Leftshift One for the same deliverables, assigned roles, support, taxes and exit terms. Compare it with our agreed outcome fee; a rate or starting package alone does not establish the total cost.

Commercial risk to watch

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

Evidence notes

  • Request the relevant certificate, holder, scope and validity dates from Leftshift One. Assess the actual hosting and data-processing arrangements for your requirements.
  • Use the source list below as a starting point, then verify pricing, legal entity, references and terms yourself before signing.

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 Leftshift One and Wavect actually diverge.

WAVECT DIMENSION ALTERNATIVE

A bespoke product. You own the code, the data flows and the roadmap.

WHAT YOU BUY

A platform licence: MyGPT with retrieval over your documents, knowledge bases, channels with role-based access, single sign-on, and API access on the Business and Professional tiers.3

Any model: commercial APIs or self-hosted open weights. We are vendor-agnostic.

MODEL CHOICE

Confirm the models, versions, deployment options and switching conditions available for your MyGPT tier with Leftshift One.

Your infrastructure, your rules: cloud, on-prem, or fully local self-hosted LLMs, built to your compliance needs.

DATA AND HOSTING

Request the relevant certificate, holder, scope and validity dates from Leftshift One. Assess the actual hosting and data-processing arrangements for your requirements.

Weekly outcome fee or fixed-price Werkvertrag. No timesheets.

PRICING MODEL

MyGPT Basic starts at EUR 1,690 per month for up to 50 users. Business, Professional and Enterprise require a quote; included tokens are subject to the published fair-use conditions.4

Weeks to a custom product in production.

SPEED TO VALUE

A licensed platform you configure rather than build, if the published feature set fits as-is.3

Yours. Features land because you decided they should.

ROADMAP CONTROL

The vendor’s. MyGPT is a licensed product whose tiers, feature gating and pricing are set by Leftshift One.43

What Leftshift One publishes

Leftshift One has been doing applied AI for years and describes itself on its company page as the Austrian AI pioneer since 2017.2

That page states over 200 AI projects successfully implemented, and the MyGPT homepage frames the same track record as more than 8 years of experience and 200 successful AI projects.21

The client logo strips on those two pages include SSI Schäfer, Albonair, Wagner Group, Faller Packaging, RCPE, VTU and the University of Graz.21

The flagship is MyGPT: retrieval-augmented generation over your own documents, knowledge bases, channels with role-based access, single sign-on, API access on the Business and Professional tiers, and retrieval across SharePoint, Confluence and file servers.31

The MyGPT data protection page lists “EU Hosting” as “Operation exclusively in certified data centers within the European Union”, states “No sharing, no training with your company information.”, says your data is “never used for model retraining, but processed exclusively at runtime”, calls the result “100% GDPR-compliant”, and adds that MyGPT “already meets the current requirements of the EU AI Act and is prepared for upcoming regulations”.5

The homepage puts the hosting claim as “Hosted in EU data centers and 100% GDPR-compliant”.1

Licensing MyGPT means the roadmap, the pricing and the boundaries of what is possible sit with the vendor, whose outside investors are named on its own company page.2

The price is partly public: four tiers by user count, with Basic listed as “starts at € 1.690,00 per month” and Business, Professional and Enterprise shown as request pricing, and with “Tokens included” under a usage-limitation and fair-use note.4

If MyGPT as published covers your need, license it.3

Ask Leftshift One to name the people responsible for this work and specify decision rights, deliverables and handover in the proposal. Published services do not determine the scope of your engagement.

Ask both providers who owns scope, technical decisions and acceptance, and what remains with your team after handover.

Choose Wavect when the AI workflow needs custom product decisions, integrations and a roadmap you direct. MyGPT is a licensed platform with a published feature set.3 Check whether that feature set covers the same requirements before comparing build and licence proposals.
We are vendor-agnostic, so if a client already runs MyGPT we can build around it where its published interfaces allow, and the product page lists single sign-on and API access on the upper tiers.3 More often the question is platform or custom, decided once, honestly, based on how much of your need is standard.
MyGPT Basic starts at EUR 1,690 per month for up to 50 users. Business, Professional and Enterprise require a quote; included tokens are subject to the published fair-use conditions.4 Request a written quote from Leftshift One for the same deliverables, assigned roles, support, taxes and exit terms. Compare it with our agreed outcome fee; a rate or starting package alone does not establish the total cost.
Go by what is published. Leftshift One published a leadership announcement dated 17 October 2024: a co-founder left the operational leadership team as of 31 January 2025 while keeping their shareholding, three existing leaders were granted procuration, and the company stated 25 employees at that time.6 Its company page today lists a CEO plus two co-founders leading product and software.2 We would not over-read any of that. It is part of the vendor-stability picture a platform buyer should look at, alongside funding and roadmap, and it is a question you should put to us as well.
