# OCTYN vs HatchWorks AI

Both define the outcome up front and leave ownership with you. HatchWorks AI starts with a call, then embeds senior experts in your team alongside nearshore engineers, working with enterprise platform partners. OCTYN starts with a paid mapping that sets one fixed price in writing, then builds and runs the system itself.
