UXReactor as a studio
UXReactor is one of two studios in this batch whose service mix is UX/UI design and nothing else. Founded in 2015 in Pleasanton, California with 10 to 49 people, it charges $150 to $199 per hour with a $25,000+ minimum. Reviews describe a consistent method: personas, customer journey maps, need statements and user research first, then interface design in Figma, for clients from industrial automation to API security and online dispute resolution. Software and IT is a quarter of its work, mid-market 45 percent of clients. Eight Clutch reviews average 4.8.
Who it fits
Hire UXReactor when a complex product needs a disciplined research-to-design process and you want a team that will define users before drawing screens. It suits mid-market software and industrial companies. If your brief is brand, typography, motion or a marketing site, its 100 percent UX/UI mix has nothing to offer on those fronts.
Strengths
- Single-discipline focus: 100 percent UX/UI, so there is no build or marketing agenda in the room
- Reviews consistently show research artefacts (personas, journey maps, need statements) before design
- Unusual sector range for a small team, from automation machinery to legal services
Watch-outs
- No branding, graphic or web design line; visual identity is entirely out of scope
- Process-led consultancies can feel slow to teams that want a quick visual lift

- Minimum project $25,000+ at $150 - $199 / hr; 4.8 from 8 Clutch reviews; founded 2015
