Side by side
| Criterion | Globant | ArkusNexus |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | GlobantA Studio-staffed team billed on time and materials, a fixed-price project, or a subscription AI Pod of agents supervised by its experts.1, 2, 4 | ArkusNexusA senior team that owns delivery from spec to release. It runs as your dedicated team or takes a whole project, and it plugs into the backlog you already have. |
| Who reviews what the AI wrote | GlobantIn its AI Pods, agents do the work and Globant experts supervise the outputs. Its documents do not say who those experts are or how a review gate works.2, 3 | ArkusNexusA Product Engineer reviews every slice before it lands. Changes touching auth, permissions or data need a second Product Engineer’s sign-off before release. |
| How AI is used in delivery | GlobantGlobant Enterprise AI, its agent platform, powers the AI Pods and is being built into the software development lifecycle across its Studios.1, 2 | ArkusNexusOne agentic workflow across spec, plan, implement, review and deploy. Agents do the volume work. Nothing advances past a gate without a named human signing it. |
| Time to first engineer | GlobantNot stated in its filings or announcements.1, 2, 3 | ArkusNexusA senior Pod on your backlog in one week. |
| Pricing model | GlobantMostly hourly time and materials, per its filing.

Never by the hour, no timesheets. |
| Smallest team you can start with | GlobantNot stated. Its filing describes Studio teams and subscription AI Pods, not a minimum size.1, 2 | ArkusNexusTwo Product Engineers + agents. The agents are part of the team, not billed as people. |
| Time-zone overlap | GlobantFour largest delivery centers in Colombia, Argentina, India and Mexico, with offices in 31 countries. No US-hours commitment is stated.1 | ArkusNexusHeadquartered in San Diego, with engineers in Tijuana, Colima and Medellín. Many are on Pacific time, all are on your working day. |
| Scale | Globant27,411 employees in more than 30 countries, per its second-quarter 2026 results.5 | ArkusNexus250+ vetted engineers. 23+ years. |
