Top Design Studios for Mobile Apps

The top design studios for Mobile Apps are led by Fireart, followed by Purrweb and YML. 22 of the 120 studios in this directory qualify for this list.

22 of the 120 top design studios in this directory work in Mobile App Development. None of them goes past 45%, which is where Purrweb sits, so Mobile Apps is a supporting line for every studio here rather than the main practice. On price, seven publish a $10,000 minimum, four start at $25,000, three start at $50,000, and two leave the floor undisclosed. Team sizes skew boutique: eight list 10 to 49 people on Clutch, eight list 50 to 249, and the remaining six sit in other bands.

10 are headquartered in the United States, three in the United Kingdom, and two in the United Arab Emirates; five do not list an HQ on Clutch. 19 of the 22 carry a Clutch rating; the median is 4.9 across 617 reviews, and the other three have no reviews, so their figures are self-reported only. One of our editorial top 7 appears here: Fireart. Its position at the top of the list comes from our own scoring, not from Clutch.
