Questions
How much should a pre-seed startup spend on design?
Enough to get a credible site and a usable v1 — typically $5,000–20,000 in total across a year. Subscriptions let you spread it; project studios let you stop.
When should a startup hire its first designer instead of an agency?
When design is a weekly need and you can pay $110–160k base (US) or the local equivalent. Before that, a studio or a fractional designer (Eleken from $4,599/mo, Friendly, Studio Contrast) is cheaper and faster to start.
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. non boring.gg 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 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 Prices are the lowest the studio publishes; unpublished ones are estimates from public quotes and marked.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: atul@nonboring.gg.
