Netguru

Netguru as a studio

Netguru is in this directory on the strength of its design work, but the record is blunt: design is 10 percent of what it does. Custom software development leads at 20 percent, then mobile and web development at 15 percent each, low-code at 10 percent and web design at 10 percent. Retail and e-commerce make up 60 percent of the industry mix. No headquarters is listed. The reviews that touch design include a scalable illustration system and a SaaS product redesign, but they sit inside engineering engagements. Rating 4.8 across 73 Clutch reviews, $50,000+ minimums.

Who it fits

Hire Netguru when you are a retail, commerce or fintech company that needs a large engineering partner and would like design handled inside the same contract. It is not a studio in any craft sense; if you want a team hired for taste, the 10 percent design share and 250 to 999 headcount say no.

Strengths

• Scale: a 250 to 999 person team that can staff design, mobile, web and custom software together.
• Commerce depth, with retail at 35 percent and e-commerce at 25 percent of the industry mix.
• One Clutch reviewer credits a workshop and "a scalable illustration system", which is more visual ambition than most dev firms show.

Watch-outs

• Design share is 10 percent; this is a software consultancy with a design department, not a design studio.
• $50,000+ minimum project size puts it out of reach for most brand or website briefs.

Evidence

• Service mix: custom software development 20 percent, mobile app development 15 percent, web development 15 percent, low-code 10 percent, web design 10 percent.
