We'll say this up front: Ryz Labs wrote this page, and we compete with Lumenalta. Every fact about Lumenalta comes from its own site, its press releases or public listings, with sources at the end.
Choose Lumenalta if you want a firm to own a project end to end: a squad with its own product lead and tech lead that co-creates the solution with you, from a company that has been doing custom software since 2000.
Choose Ryz if you want the engineering capacity to sit on your team and report to your leads, so the code, decisions and knowledge stay with you. You get top 1% senior engineers on US business hours, or a dedicated AI pod team that builds in your cloud and ships to production. Our price range is public, and you see the names of your engineers before you sign.
Engineers who work on your team, reporting to your leads. A delivery squad brings its own leadership. Our engineers join your standups, your repos and your roadmap from week one, so your architecture decisions and your knowledge stay in-house when the work is done.
A top 1% bar, before you meet anyone. We've interviewed tens of thousands of engineers, and only the top 1% make it. Recruiters source candidates, our in-house ARC system ranks the pipeline, and every candidate goes through a structured NTRVSTA AI interview, with recruiter review before and after. AI scores are advisory; people decide. See our vetting process.
AI pod teams with production work behind them. A typical pod is about seven senior engineers, including a tech lead, an ML engineer and backend engineers, working in your cloud, repos and CI with weekly demos. Fraud detection we built for a global fleet company has scored 244K+ invoices in under 30 seconds each, with $5.94M in fraud confirmed by the client's fraud team. A marketing-compliance system for a global capital management firm took review of 8,000+ documents from days to hours. See our case studies.
A price you can see. Our range is public, and after a first conversation you get a scoped plan, a price, and the names of the people who would do the work. You own all the code and IP, and you control every engineer's access.
Trusted by Fortune 500 engineering teams, across industries. We work with US enterprises in every industry, including financial services. Our recruiting AI is governed under EU AI Act high-risk requirements, and we follow GDPR and CCPA/CPRA.
Lumenalta is the new name of Clevertech, announced on February 6, 2024; its legal entity is Clevertech Partners, LLC. It says it has partnered with leaders "since 2000," lists its headquarters on Avenue of the Americas in New York with offices in Canada and the Netherlands, and has been office-less "since the beginning." It describes itself as "a digital engineering partner focused on AI-native software delivery, digital transformation, and modernization." It deploys small senior groups of engineers, designers and product owners, and claims a 9.5 NPS score and a 93% team retention rate. It lists six industries, including financial services and private equity, and names case-study clients such as Masterworks and Redwood Logistics.
Here is every public price signal we found, checked October 2026. Most firms in this market don't publish a rate card, so we show the hourly band on their Clutch listing and convert it to a monthly figure for one full-time engineer.
Monthly figures are our math at 160 hours a month. Directory bands are entered by the firms themselves and are not quotes, so ask each vendor for a written monthly price for the same roles at the same seniority.
Lumenalta doesn't publish prices. We checked its home, about, approach, services, AI and contact pages, and its Clutch listing shows no hourly rate or minimum project. Expect a quote per project. Ask for the monthly cost of the squad, who is on it by name, and what happens to the team when the project ends.
Our typical cost is $7,000 to $15,000 per engineer per month (mid-level $7,000 to $10,000, senior $10,000 to $15,000, leads $15,000+ quoted per team), scoped per team. With it you get a scoped plan, a price, and the names of the people who would do the work, before you sign. See our AI development cost calculator for a rough estimate.

Yes. Clevertech announced its rebrand to Lumenalta on February 6, 2024. The legal entity is Clevertech Partners, LLC, doing business as Lumenalta.
Lumenalta doesn't publish pricing, and its Clutch listing shows no rate or minimum. Ask for a monthly figure for the full squad. Ryz publishes a range of $7,000 to $15,000 per engineer per month, scoped per team.
No. It says AtlusAI "is not a product we sell," but the system it uses for its own delivery. Its AI, ML and LLM work is sold as services. Ryz doesn't sell software either: our AI pod teams build in the stack you already run.
If your team will run the system afterward, we'd pick Ryz: the pod works on your team, in your repos and cloud, with weekly demos, and can hand the whole system over when it's done. Talk to us.
