Who should I buy from?
Look for business understanding and up-to-date AI expertise.

Their judgment matters. Look for publicly available work, research, or test results that show their expertise.

Buying AI-native services vs. traditional services
| AI-native services | Traditional outsourced services | |
|---|---|---|
| How you run your business | Execute the work in-house, using external AI models where needed. | Hand the work to an external provider to execute and manage. |
| What you buy | An internal capability to execute work with AI, tailored to your needs. | External capacity to get the work done through a standard procedure. |
| Who executes tasks | Your AI, under your own workflows. | Your service provider, using their people, tools, and processes. |
| What you need from the provider | Judgment on what works, how to deploy it, and how to run it reliably within your budget. | The capacity to execute, manage delivery, and maintain service quality. |
| What are the costs | Upfront workflow setup by providers on RenX, plus ongoing AI token costs. | Per-job charges or ongoing service subscriptions. |
| Cost per result | You control it through workflow design, model choice, and usage. | The provider manages their execution costs and quotes you a price. |
| Switching and upgrading costs | Use frontier AI to make adjustments and upgrades, bringing in a RenX provider only when needed. | Move the work to a new provider and repeat onboarding and handover. |
