[Let's talk](../book-demo) How do they differ? ## Faros AI and Pensero solve adjacent but fundamentally different problems. **Faros AI** measures activity while **Pensero** focuses on understanding the complexity and magnitude of the problem behind your code. Pensero Faros AI AI adoption and usage tracking Faros tracks agent sessions and tokens; Pensero all delivered work AI spend and token cost tracking Faros optimizes token spend; Pensero shows what the spend delivered Delivered output weighted for size and complexity Humans, AI-assisted engineers and agents on one scale Cost per unit of delivered work Cross-company benchmarks Faros benchmarks via its GAINS diagnostic; Pensero on delivered value Recommendations on what to do next Faros suggests model routes; Pensero says which work to delegate Level on the five levels, measured from delivery data Forward-deployed engineers and transformation programme Pensero Faros AI AI adoption and usage tracking Faros tracks agent sessions and tokens; Pensero all delivered work AI spend and token cost tracking Faros optimizes token spend; Pensero shows what the spend delivered Delivered output weighted for size and complexity Humans, AI-assisted engineers and agents on one scale Cost per unit of delivered work Cross-company benchmarks Faros benchmarks via its GAINS diagnostic; Pensero on delivered value Recommendations on what to do next Faros suggests model routes; Pensero says which work to delegate Level on the five levels, measured from delivery data Forward-deployed engineers and transformation programme How is Pensero different from Faros AI? Do we need to build custom dashboards to get value from Pensero? Can Pensero still integrate with our engineering stack quickly? Does Pensero support calibration and talent benchmarking? How does Pensero approach AI productivity measurement? When is Pensero a better fit than a data-warehouse-first approach?
