Comparison

FeatureFactory vs 8090

Two takes on the software factory: 8090 builds bespoke systems for the enterprise; FeatureFactory is the platform your own engineers use to plan, build, and measure.

The short version

8090 is a strong fit if you want an executive-sponsored partner to build custom software for you. FeatureFactory is for teams that want to own the build and prove the outcome - developer-led, transparently priced, with your IP and your metrics.

Why teams pick FeatureFactory

Developer-led, not exec-sold

8090 sells software factories to executives and staffs the build. FeatureFactory is a platform your own engineers adopt directly - no procurement gauntlet before your team writes a line of code.

You own the IP, by default

Ownership of custom-built software in enterprise engagements is a contract term. With FeatureFactory the code lives in your repos and the IP is yours from day one - nothing to negotiate.

We measure what ships

A software factory optimizes for delivery. FeatureFactory closes the loop with DORA metrics, cycle time, and PR-quality analytics - including on AI-generated code - so you can see whether shipping actually moved the outcome.

Transparent pricing

Enterprise build engagements are quoted per deal. FeatureFactory publishes pricing you can read before you talk to anyone, so you can evaluate cost against value without a sales call.

FAQ

No. 8090 is a genuinely strong fit if you want an outside team to design and build custom software for you as an executive-sponsored engagement. FeatureFactory is a different shape: a platform your own engineers use to plan, build, and measure - so the choice depends on whether you want to outsource the build or own it.
