Wavect or Objectbay. A senior team with two accountable founders, or an established agency of around 70 people with dedicated Scrum teams.

Objectbay is a genuinely established agency. The Austrian company register lists Objectbay Software GmbH under FN 285206x at Landesgericht Linz, registered in 2006 with its seat in Traun, with no insolvency or liquidation entry.⁶ Its own team page gives 30 people in Traun, 30 in Vienna and 10 in Salzburg, so around 70 in total, and its home page publishes 20+ years of experience, 210+ completed projects and a figure of 94% of customers recommending it within their network.¹² Named references include Österreichische Post AG, Raiffeisenverband Salzburg eGen, W&W Informatik, Veritas, Offensity by A1 and Verbund AG, across banking, insurance, logistics and manufacturing.⁴ The core offer is Scrum Team as a Service: certified Scrum teams delivering on a two-week cycle, with the published stack given as Java, JavaScript, Python and Ruby on Rails.³² The site also states that it is ISO 27001 certified, and the pages we opened carry the certification mark and the words without a certificate document, a certifying body or a stated scope, so treat the scope as something to request rather than assume.²¹ For a company that needs to scale a professional delivery team against a large, well-scoped program, that is a solid offer, and we would not pretend otherwise.

The first real difference is what sits in the room with you. Objectbay sells a delivery team and says so plainly: its Scrum Team as a Service page states that you retain full control over backlog management throughout the collaboration, and that Objectbay coaches and supports you in fulfilling the Product Owner role.³ The same page states that 100% of its developers are certified Scrum Masters and that none of them are near-shore or offshore resources or freelancers.³ Across the service list published on the home page, custom software, web and app development, customer portals, e-commerce, AI solutions, modernization, code audits, platform engineering, Scrum Team as a Service and an AI product discovery workshop, we did not find a product-management or CTO-level mandate.² That is a coherent model rather than an omission: roadmap ownership sits on the client side by design. Wavect starts with two named founders who both carry product management and the technical call. On a program where scope is already settled and the job is execution at scale, that distinction may not matter. On a product still deciding what it should become, it usually decides the outcome.

The second difference is pricing you can read. We publish our ranges: a weekly outcome retainer from EUR 400 per week for the Fractional Co-Founder and EUR 750 per week for QA, EUR 10,000 to EUR 30,000 per month for full-stack delivery, or a fixed-price Werkvertrag with a Discovery Phase from EUR 3,500. Objectbay does not publish pricing on the pages we opened, which is normal for a dedicated-team agency; its AGB does publish the shape of the deal, namely time-and-materials or a flat sprint fee, invoiced at the end of each sprint with 14 days to pay.⁵ Neither approach is wrong, they are different ways to buy, and the difference is worth naming before you compare totals.

The third is scale fit and the guarantee. An agency of around 70 people is built for programs that need a bench; a two-founder senior team is built for products that need continuity and judgement from the same heads throughout.¹ Objectbay advertises “Lifetime guarantee on our work” and “Not satisfied? Free exit after 2 sprints!” on its home page.² Its published AGB carries the guarantee in clause 15: Objectbay guarantees, for as long as it operates the business, that the software code it developed is free of defects, and clause 15.2 excludes changes made to the code by the client or by a third party.⁵ The AGB we read does not contain a clause tied to an exit after two sprints.⁵ We have not seen the individual contract clauses that would sit on top of those terms, so we cannot describe what your own agreement would cover, and we are not suggesting that either the guarantee or the exit covers less than stated. Three clause questions are worth putting on the table anyway. First, what counts as a defect: the published AGB defines one as a function-impairing deviation from the valid specification and excludes minor defects, so agree in writing what the specification is.⁵ Second, the remediation window: the AGB puts repair ahead of price reduction and rescission and requires a written cure period of at least 30 days before either becomes available.⁵ Third, whether scope changes and IP sit inside or outside the guarantee: the AGB grants the client exclusive, worldwide and unlimited rights to the work results on full payment, and flags open-source components as carrying third-party licence terms instead.⁵ Put the same three questions to us. Our fixed-price Werkvertrag is a signed statement of work we are legally bound to deliver, so ask us what we accept as a defect, how long we take to fix one, and what happens to price and IP when scope moves. See the products we ship and hold both of us to the same bar.
