How do you choose
the right firm?

The score ranks firms overall. Your project decides which one fits. This list is written for companies that need user research, UX and interface design for an app, a software product or a website.

A complex software product
Look for case studies with user research, flows and testing, not only final screens.
Design and build from one team
Look for a firm that also develops, with studies that show the shipped product.
A design system
Look for component libraries and guidelines handed to your developers in the studies.

How this list is made

How is this list made,
and what is our interest?

PixelCrayons publishes this list and is an UI/UX design firm itself. It is scored on the same evidence and weights as every other firm and sits at number 7 with 65.8. ValueCoders, our sister company in the Vinove group, is left out of every list. That way the group never holds two places.

No firm paid to be ranked or listed, or was asked to. We considered 25 firms and ranked those with enough public evidence to score fairly. Firms that offer the service but cannot be scored yet appear under “Also listed”, in alphabetical order with no score. Every figure links to the page we read it from, with the date.

Read the full PixelCrayons Index method, or download this list as CSV. You are free to reuse our scores and this compilation under CC BY 4.0 if you credit PixelCrayons. The figures we read from Clutch and the firms’ own sites remain theirs. A ranked or listed firm can correct its data: send a correction with a source through the request form. A firm that would like to be listed can use the same form; it is free and changes no rank. Firms on this list can get a free Ranked or Listed seal.

Questions

What buyers
ask about this list.

UX design works out how a product should work: research, user flows and structure. UI design decides how each screen looks: layout, type, colour and components. Most agencies here do both, and their case studies show how much research sits behind the screens.

The problem, who the users were, the research and testing done, the flows and screens designed, and what changed after launch. A gallery of screens alone says little about the process. We count studies on the agency's own site that show interface design work.

PixelCrayons has the lowest Clutch minimum project on this list, $5,000+, and ranks number 7 with 65.8. 0 of the 18 firms that show a minimum take projects under $5,000. Check the hourly band too.

Eleken, with 130 Clutch reviews and a rating of 4.9. The median firm here has 42 reviews. A rating from many reviews tells you more than one from a few, so the score pulls thin ratings toward the middle.

7 of the 18 ranked firms publish prices or rate bands on their own site: Cieden, Goji Labs, Ramotion, PixelCrayons and Arounda, and 2 more. The others share prices after a first call. Publishing prices earns points for transparency, whatever the price is.

On this list, Clutch minimum projects run from $5,000+ to $100,000+, and the most common hourly band is $25 - $49. Your scope sets the real price, so ask each firm for a written estimate.

Every firm is scored out of 100 by the PixelCrayons Index: client reviews on Clutch, depth of UI/UX design work, published pricing, track record and recent activity. The weights are fixed and published, and no firm paid to be ranked or listed.

Only where it qualifies like any other firm: it must offer the service and show at least one case study in it. When it's listed, it's scored on the same evidence and weights as everyone else and sits wherever that score puts it.

Every month. Each firm's figures are checked again, the scores are recalculated, and the changelog on this page says what moved and why.

What changed
in each edition?

Updated every month. Each edition is checked again from the sources.

  1. First edition: service pages, case studies and recent work read on 5 November 2026, with Clutch and Google figures read by hand. A case study counts only as a page of its own on the firm's own site; a firm with no case study in this discipline is listed without a score.
