Questions
How much does SaaS product design cost?
Retainers from about $4,600 a month (Eleken part-time) to $10,000+ (Bricx, Phenomenon); fixed projects from around $10,000 to $50,000 depending on scope. Clutch's average UX project is $84,973, skewed by large engagements. we hate vanilla engagements average $20,000.
What should a SaaS design agency deliver?
A design system, the core flows (onboarding, main workspace, settings, billing) and developer-ready handoff in Figma. Ask to see a shipped product, not only Dribbble shots.
How much does startup branding cost?
From about $5,000 for a lean identity to $15,000–50,000 at studios like Metabrand and Condensed (both publish ranges); Ramotion, Clay and Koto sit well above. we hate vanilla brand projects sit in the $15,000–25,000 range.
Do I need a full brand before product-market fit?
Usually not. A wordmark, a type pair and a colour system are enough to ship; invest in a full identity when the positioning is stable, typically around seed.
How did you choose and order this list?
Inclusion: the studio publicly states it serves this segment or names clients in it. Ordering is the rule stated at the top of the page, applied the same to us as to everyone else. Prices are the lowest the studio publishes; unpublished ones are estimates from public quotes and marked. Clutch figures are read on the date shown. Corrections: hello@wehatevanilla.com.
