Enterprise-tier work with multi-team delivery, ISO certifications, and a budget north of $250k.
ObsCode vs Pragmatic Coders
Pragmatic Coders is a 70+ engineer EU agency; ObsCode is a senior team with deep specialists on call.
Founders building AI-native MVPs from $6k who want senior decision-making without the agency layer (account managers, scoped discovery, layered handoffs).
