# OCTYN vs Automaly

Both fix the price for a defined scope and support what they build after launch. Automaly starts with a free call and builds on Make, Airtable and Pipedrive alongside code written for the job. OCTYN starts with a paid mapping that measures a baseline, builds each system for your company alone, then runs it and keeps it current.

## Why OCTYN over Automaly

- How it starts. Automaly starts with a free 30-minute call. OCTYN’s first step is a paid mapping that ends in a map of the work, a measured baseline and the price.
- What it is built on. Automaly works in Make, Airtable and Pipedrive, with Python, C# and SQL where needed. OCTYN builds each system for one company, so no step depends on a workflow vendor’s limits or per-run pricing.
- After launch. Automaly offers monitoring, fixes and exception handling. OCTYN runs the system and re-sets it when your company changes: a new product, a new market, a new rule.
- Who owns it. Under OCTYN’s engagement terms, your data, specs, configuration and system code are yours, with the documentation to run it yourself. Automaly’s site does not say who owns what it builds.
