Eleken

Eleken as a studio

Eleken is 100 percent UX/UI design, which is unusual even among product-focused agencies. There is no branding, graphic design or web design line in the mix at all. A 50 to 249 person team in Kyiv, founded 2015, delivers ongoing interface work at $25 - $49 / hr with a $10,000+ entry point, and holds a 4.9 across 127 Clutch reviews. Reviewers describe design systems, UI libraries and complete application flows for SaaS teams. If you want a studio with a graphic voice, this is not it. For polished, durable software screens, it is.

Who it fits

Hire Eleken when you have a software product that needs a consistent, modern interface and a design system, and you want a team that can stay embedded for months. Skip it if your brief is a visual identity, a campaign or a marketing site; none of that is in the record.

Strengths

• Total specialisation: UX/UI design at 100 percent of the mix, with reviewers citing design systems and UI libraries.
• Ongoing engagement model, with multiple Clutch reviewers describing continuous rather than one-off work.
• Rates of $25 - $49 / hr make a long-running product design retainer affordable for mid-market and startup clients.

Watch-outs

• Zero branding or graphic design share, so visual identity has to come from elsewhere.
• A team of 50 to 249 is a production operation; expect systems and process rather than a single named designer's taste.

Evidence

• Service mix: UX/UI design 100 percent; industries led by EdTech at 25 percent, software and healthcare at 15 percent each.
• A Clutch reviewer says the team "enhanced the app's usability and gave it a more modern and polished look".
• Rating 4.9 across 127 Clutch reviews; clients split 50 percent mid-market, 50 percent startups and small business.
