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.

Montreal UX Designer FAQs

Montreal’s design community sits at the crossroads of North American business standards and European aesthetics. Local UX agencies draw talent from universities such as Concordia’s Design & Computation Arts program and the AI labs at Université de Montréal, giving clients access to multidisciplinary teams fluent in both French and English.

When you hire locally, you gain in-person workshop options, firsthand knowledge of Québec’s cultural nuances, and project schedules aligned to Eastern Time—advantages that can streamline feedback loops and speed up launches.

Most Montreal-based UX agencies on Clutch charge between CAD $90 – $150 per hour for their expertise. A discovery sprint for a single-platform web app might start around CAD $15,000, while end-to-end UX/UI redesigns for enterprise software can range from CAD $60,000 – $150,000+.

Factors that shift pricing include the complexity of user research (e.g., bilingual testing), required motion design, and integration with development teams. Boutique studios sometimes offer fixed-price packages for startups needing an MVP.

Many agencies serve diverse sectors, but clusters stand out in the city’s economy:

  • Fintech and Payments
  • Gaming and Interactive Entertainment
  • E-commerce and Retail
  • Health-tech and Med-device interfaces
  • AI-driven SaaS platforms
  • Smart-city and IoT solutions

This breadth ensures you can find specialists familiar with your compliance, data, or engagement challenges.

Start by outlining your project’s measurable goals—i.e., higher conversion rates, lower churn, or WCAG accessibility compliance. Review each agency’s Clutch profile for:

  1. Case studies that mirror your project scope
  2. Verified client reviews highlighting communication style
  3. Toolkits (e.g., Figma, Maze, or Adobe XD) that match your workflow
  4. Team composition, especially senior-level strategists versus junior designers

Shortlist 3–5 firms, request proposals, and evaluate how they translate your objectives into research plans and wireframes. A strong partner will challenge assumptions, not just take orders.

  • Vague research methodology (“We’ll figure it out later”)
  • Limited bilingual testing in a predominantly French–English market
  • Over-promising timelines without built-in user validation milestones
  • No discussion of accessibility or responsive breakpoints
  • A portfolio heavy on visuals but light on measurable outcomes

If an agency can’t articulate how their process drives ROI—or refuses to share past metrics—it’s wise to keep looking.
