Renga vs a generic AI agency

An agency is the right call for a multi-team AI programme. If you want one workflow automated properly this quarter, at a price fixed up front and in code you own, a focused build studio is faster and cheaper.

Why buyers leave generic AI agencies

The quote starts with a paid discovery phase and no launch date.
The deliverable runs in a separate service your developers can't maintain.
It's a chatbot on top of your business that can't read your data or take actions.
The timeline doubles and so does the bill.

	Renga	Generic AI agency
Starting point	30-min call or $99 Blueprint	Paid discovery
Price	Fixed, $4,997–$9,997 per build	Typically $20,000+
Delivery	Launch date in the quote; 25% back if late	Estimate, often extended
Code	In your repo, standard Laravel	Often a separate service or platform licence
If it doesn't work	Full refund against written criteria	Change order

Choose Renga if…

You can name the workflow, you want it live in weeks, you want to own and maintain the code, and you have a $5–10k budget for the first build.

Choose an agency if…

You need a multi-department programme, a large on-site team, or procurement requires a big vendor.

We've shipped bank-statement analysis for a lending platform, a clinic-management SaaS and our own voice-agent product, all in maintainable Laravel.

FAQ

Why do agencies take so long?

Discovery, platform selection and handoffs between strategy and build teams. We skip the platform and build the one system.

How are you different?

One written scope, one fixed price, one launch date, code in your repo.

We already started with an agency. Can you take over?

Often, yes. We'll review what exists on the scoping call and tell you whether to keep it or rebuild.
