Where Vouli IQ wins
- The board arc Holistic AI does not productise: maturity diagnostic, phased roadmap, ROI tracking and a director-facing board report.
- Native India DPDP and 25-country compliance, with accessible published pricing from $149/month.
- Built for the CIO / Chief AI Officer / board — not only the risk, compliance and bias-audit function.
Where Holistic AI wins
- Best-in-class technical bias and fairness auditing, rooted in algorithm-audit heritage (NYC Local Law 144).
- Strong European enterprise references (Unilever, Siemens, Mapfre, Michelin) and ~$35M of funding.
- Years of market presence and analyst recognition since 2020.
We name these plainly. At board level, an honest comparison earns more trust than a flattering one.
When Vouli IQ is not the right choice
Choose Holistic AI — or something else entirely — if any of these describe you. We would rather you find that out here than three months into a contract.
- You need technical AI auditing — bias, robustness, efficacy testing on specific models — which is Holistic AI’s core discipline and not ours.
- You are preparing for a specific algorithmic audit obligation such as NYC Local Law 144 and want a vendor who performs the audit.
- You want an assurance partner who signs an opinion. We produce the evidence; we do not attest to it.
Frequently asked
Is Vouli IQ a Holistic AI alternative?
For board-grade AI transformation, yes; for deep bias auditing, Holistic AI is a specialist. Holistic AI is an AI governance, risk and bias-audit platform; Vouli IQ is an AI Transformation Operating System that includes governance but leads with maturity diagnostics, roadmap, ROI and board reporting. If your priority is algorithmic bias/fairness testing, Holistic AI is excellent; if it is diagnosing and reporting AI transformation to the board, Vouli IQ covers that arc.
Note: which "Holistic AI" is this?
This compares the London-based AI governance company (holisticai.com, founded 2020 by Emre Kazim and Adriano Koshiyama, ex-UCL). It is not "H" — the Paris foundation-model startup that raised $220M — which is a different company often conflated with it.
Does Holistic AI cover India DPDP?
Holistic AI focuses on EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 and NYC LL144; India DPDP is not advertised. Vouli IQ includes India DPDP natively within its 25-country compliance.
