Why Trust Clutch

At Clutch, we believe trust is the foundation of every business relationship. Our mission is to help buyers make confident, data-backed decisions informed by real client experiences.

Every review on Clutch undergoes a rigorous, human-led verification process to make sure it’s valid. Our team of specialists confirms the identity of each reviewer, ensures the project is legitimate, and only publishes reviews that meet our strict criteria.

Verification doesn’t stop at the point of publication. Our Trust & Safety team routinely audits older reviews against our guidelines. When reviews fall short of our standards, we remove them.

We evaluate service providers using a structured methodology that combines:

  • In-depth client interviews and ratings
  • Comprehensive project details
  • Market presence
  • Portfolio examples and industry recognition

This data powers tools like the Leaders Matrix, which helps you compare agencies directly. Our research team curates rankings by weighing verified reviews most heavily, so the most trusted and experienced providers rise to the top.

Using this unique combination of verified client feedback and provider-supplied insights, Clutch distills the most important details into clear, digestible summaries so you have everything you need to make confident, informed decisions quickly.

We take fraud seriously. Providers who violate our guidelines may face lower rankings, restricted visibility, or removal from the platform altogether.

Clutch’s commitment to transparency is ongoing. We’re constantly refining our systems to protect the integrity of reviews and support you in finding the right agency.

Phoenix UX Designer FAQs

Locally rooted teams speak your customers’ language—literally and figuratively. Phoenix agencies understand the desert climate that drives mobile-first behavior, the expectations of ASU’s digitally native graduates, and regulations that shape fintech and healthcare in Arizona.

Hiring a hometown team also means overlapping work hours, on-site workshops, and quicker design sprints when you need to iterate fast for a product launch at the Phoenix Convention Center. Plus, many Valley firms maintain talent pipelines with ASU’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, ensuring fresh, research-driven perspectives.

Based on recent pricing data gathered by Clutch, most Phoenix UX agencies charge $75 – $150 per hour. Smaller discovery or usability audit projects start around $10,000, while full-cycle redesigns for complex SaaS products can reach $75,000 – $150,000.

Compared to coastal markets like San Francisco or New York, Phoenix rates are 10%–25% lower, making it an attractive option for startups and mid-market companies seeking top-tier talent without Silicon Valley price tags.

• SaaS and cloud services
• Healthcare and med-tech (Banner Health, Mayo Clinic partnerships)
• E-commerce and retail (PetSmart, Carvana)
• Fintech and insurtech along the I-17 corridor

Many agencies offer specialized compliance knowledge for HIPAA, PCI, and WCAG accessibility—important for regulated sectors prevalent in Arizona.
