Purrweb as a studio

Purrweb is a startup MVP shop, and the record is unambiguous: startups and small businesses are 100 percent of its clients. Mobile app development and UX/UI design are 45 percent each, low-code 10 percent. Fintech is half the industry mix. The 50 to 249 person team lists Al Jazirah Al Hamra in the UAE as its base, was founded in 2014, and charges $25 - $49 / hr from a $5,000+ minimum. Reviews describe mobile apps designed and built, an investment site MVP, and marketplace pages restyled to existing brand colours.

Who it fits

It is not a studio you hire for taste; there is no branding, graphic or visual identity work on the record and the volume model is explicit.
