Praxent

Praxent as a studio

Praxent has built software for financial services companies since 2000, and the record says fintech is 100 percent of its industry mix. Custom software development, mobile app development and UX/UI design sit at 30 percent each, with web design at 10 percent, for an overall design share of 40 percent. The 50 to 249 person Austin team charges $50 - $99 / hr with a $25,000+ minimum. Reviews describe Azure migrations, API libraries, Nest.js and React builds, with design mentioned as one screen set or an enhanced MVP. Rating 4.8 across 66 Clutch reviews.

Who it fits

Hire Praxent when you are a bank, lender or financial services firm that needs regulated software built and maintained, and you want the interface designed by the same team. It is not a studio you hire for taste; there is no branding, graphic or visual identity line and the reviews are engineering-led.
