# OCTYN vs Axe Automation

Both look at the operation first and keep the work running after launch. Axe Automation audits your business, installs automations, and has an engineer manage your automations and platforms. OCTYN’s first step is a paid mapping that ends in one fixed price in writing, and each system is built for your company alone.

## Side by side

| | OCTYN | Axe Automation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How it describes itself | An intelligent systems firm. Each system is custom-built for one company, then run and kept current by OCTYN. | "We systemize and automate businesses for highly profitable scale, custom and done-for-you" |
| How it starts | A paid mapping of the operation, the Consult, which sets the scope and measures a baseline. | "We audit your business, organize your operations and install AI automations to crush constraints and skyrocket team productivity." |
| How it is priced | One fixed price, in writing, after the Consult; then a monthly fee to run it. | Not stated on its site |
| After launch | OCTYN runs it and keeps it current, and re-sets it when the company changes. | "We setup a clean dashboard of your key metrics, and your engineer proactively manages all your automations and platforms." |
| Who owns it | Your data, specs, configuration and code. | Not stated on its site |
| Who it is for | An established company whose team does the same work by hand every week. | "We are industry agnostic." |
| What it is built on | Built for that one company, on its own accounts or infrastructure where the work calls for it. | "We also use python and javascript to write custom scripting so we can automate more complex workflows." |
| How the work is staffed | The people who map the system build it and run it. | "It’s like hiring a Chief AI and Automation Officer, for a fraction of the cost" |

## Why OCTYN over Axe Automation
