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.

Think Your Tools Improve UX? These AI Performance Metrics Say Otherwise
AI hype is still high, but are your tools improving UX? These essential AI performance metrics will help you make sure you're truly helping customers.
UX Strategy Agency FAQs
Looking for an UX strategy agency but not sure where to start? We've put together answers to the most common questions businesses ask when searching for a trusted partner. This FAQ covers what you need to know before hiring an UX strategy agency, from pricing and services to results and red flags.
Clutch spotlights firms that align user needs with business goals to shape effective digital experiences twice a year based on a proprietary methodology. The top UX strategy companies for Fall 2025 include:
A UX strategy company defines the roadmap that connects user needs to your business goals. First, strategists conduct qualitative and quantitative research, such as interviews, analytics audits, and competitor reviews, to uncover user pain points. They then translate those insights into a vision, success metrics, and phased recommendations for product design, content, and technology. Throughout the engagement, the agency ensures that every design decision ladders back to measurable outcomes like reduced churn, higher conversion rates, or increased lifetime value
Typical offerings include:
- User and stakeholder research
- Journey mapping & persona development
- Information architecture & content strategy
- Prototyping and usability testing
- Product roadmap & feature prioritization
- KPI definition and analytics setup
- Design system or guidelines hand-off to internal teams
Many agencies also provide end-to-end UI/UX design or collaborate with in-house designers to implement the strategy.
Budgets vary widely based on project size, but Clutch data shows most UX strategy engagements fall between $25,000–$150,000. Smaller audits start around $10,000, while enterprise-level, multi-product roadmaps can exceed $250,000. Hourly rates average $100–$200, influenced by agency location, seniority, and specialization. Ask for a detailed scope, deliverables list, and payment schedule before signing.
- Match expertise to your needs: e-commerce, SaaS, mobile, etc.
- Review case studies for measurable impact (e.g., “30% decrease in drop-offs”).
- Confirm their research toolkit (surveys, ethnography, analytics) aligns with your data maturity.
- Assess cultural fit: communication cadence, time-zone overlap, collaboration style.
- Compare proposals for clarity on scope, timeline, and success metrics rather than price alone.
- Guaranteed results without research
- Minimal stakeholder involvement or one-size-fits-all frameworks
- Lack of transparency in pricing or process
- No dedicated analytics plan to measure success
- Thin or outdated portfolio with few strategic deliverables
- How will you measure ROI on this engagement?
- Which research methods will you use and why?
- Can you share a recent roadmap or strategy document (sanitized)?
- Who will be on the core team and what are their roles?
- How do you hand off strategy to design and development teams?
- What happens if project assumptions change mid-engagement?
Hiring specialists accelerates time-to-insight, reduces costly design iterations, and aligns cross-functional teams around shared KPIs. Agencies bring proven frameworks, unbiased research, and multidisciplinary talent, saving you the expense of building an in-house team from scratch.
Freelancers excel at tactical design tasks such as wireframes and UI mockups, while agencies provide holistic strategy, deeper research capabilities, and broader skill sets including analytics, content, and service design.
