# OCTYN vs 41 Labs

41 Labs leads with a managed product: a WhatsApp sales agent on a monthly subscription with a one-time build fee, which it builds, runs and tunes for you. OCTYN builds a system around your own operation instead, after a paid mapping, at one fixed price, and runs it and keeps it current after launch.

## Side by side

| --- | --- | --- |
| How it describes itself | An intelligent systems firm. Each system is custom-built for one company, then run and kept current by OCTYN. | "Your WhatsApp is leaking money. 41 Closer stops the leak." |
| How it starts | A paid mapping of the operation, the Consult, which sets the scope and measures a baseline. | "Free 30-minute call" |
| How it is priced | One fixed price, in writing, after the Consult; then a monthly fee to run it. | Subscription, with amounts on its site |
| After launch | OCTYN runs it and keeps it current, and re-sets it when the company changes. | "Yes. After deployment, we offer maintenance and iteration packages to keep your system running smoothly and improving over time." |
| Who owns it | Your data, specs, configuration and code. | "You own the agent and everything it learns. We never share or sell your data, and when a chat gets tricky it hands the conversation to your team." |
| Who it is for | An established company whose team does the same work by hand every week. | "Insurance, logistics, education, real estate, if speed-to-serve and operational efficiency directly impact your revenue." |
| What it is built on | Built for that one company, on its own accounts or infrastructure where the work calls for it. | "Powered by leading AI & cloud technologies" |
| How the work is staffed | The people who map the system build it and run it. | "We build it, run it, and tune it for you." |
