      AI Development Review from Julia Antoci

      Leanware built the mobile MVP of our AI fitness assistant for iOS and Android. It started with discovery workshops that sharpened the product vision and shaped an MVP roadmap prioritizing launch features while leaving room for expansions like avatars and real-time feedback. They developed a conversational AI engine with custom prompt and context engineering tailored to fitness conversations, one that keeps continuity across sessions, remembers user progress and preferences, and keeps health guidance within safety standards. On top of that they implemented photo-based food recognition, smart search that understands fitness intent, personalized recommendations, progress tracking with AI-generated insights and coaching suggestions, and gamified response formats that make AI answers easy to read, plus the scalable backend behind it all. Their consultation saved us an estimated 20 to 30 percent in costs by avoiding unnecessary complexity, and we launched a functional MVP across the app stores in under eight weeks, faster than planned. Project management was exceptional: clear timelines, on-schedule delivery, and proactive communication via Slack, with expert recommendations guiding decisions rather than every choice being pushed back to us. Their technical skill and creativity made the whole thing feel less like hiring a vendor and more like building with a co-founder.

      Software Development Review from Anonymous

      Leanware delivered two significant projects for our e-commerce platform along with a steady stream of smaller fixes and enhancements. They built a new employee management page in our back office so our customers can create accounts, set permissions, and link employees to entities on their own, and when our mobile app's chat functionality needed replicating in the back office, they built a custom chat and messaging React library from scratch, integrated seamlessly with our design system and existing bespoke solution. Along the way they worked comfortably across Next.js, React, React Native, Apollo, GraphQL, and Hasura, and adapted to our implicit conventions. We ran week-long SCRUM sprints with check-ins three times a week, and they consistently hit the sprint goals on time; even when we needed hard pivots mid-sprint, they adapted without losing pace. As the engagement progressed they increasingly took the lead, asking well-informed questions and offering suggestions on code, product, and design that genuinely enriched the outcomes. What impressed us most was how swiftly they onboarded: given incomplete product descriptions, they asked the right questions to fill the gaps and picked up our undocumented code patterns without getting stuck on minor details. It felt like one cohesive team working toward shared objectives, free of the friction that usually comes with a third party

      Mobile App Development Review from Anonymous

      Leanware has partnered with us since Q4 2023 on two cloud-based mobile apps for iOS and Android, one built in Flutter and one in React Native, handling development on both and the UI/UX design on one. For one project they staffed a team of five mid-level developers, a senior developer, an architect, and a UX designer available as needed. They also took over an app that was unstable and nowhere near production-ready and turned it into a stable, solid product I'm genuinely proud to show. Their processes leave nothing to chance and the code that comes out of them is excellent; they've been flexible and thorough throughout. They meet deadlines, keep their promises, and are careful about what they commit to. The whole team has been great, and Alvaro, their Technical Product Manager, deserves a special mention for being remarkable. I hired them because they were upfront about what they could and couldn't do, and that honesty, together with the tremendous quality of their work, is what separates them from other providers. Both are getting harder to find these days.

      ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

      AI Development Review from Dmytro Semonov

      As an AI company, we're constantly balancing product development, customer feedback, and market demands. The prior challenge is turning generated ideas into working product releases without slowing the team down. We partnered with Goodface to help develop and expand AIter, our AI-powered marketing platform. The scope covered product development, UX/UI improvements, infrastructure, integrations, QA, and ongoing platform enhancements.What made the collaboration productive was their approach to SDLC. Product requirements, design decisions, development tasks, and QA activities were connected through a single workflow. That meant fewer clarification cycles, fewer stalled discussions, and less time spent coordinating work between teams.Goodface used an AI-orchestrated development model, and the tech behind it wasn't the key. But the team mindset and outcome-driven roadmap. We had visibility into priorities, active workstreams, and upcoming releases without relying on constant status meetings or manual follow-ups. When priorities changed, the team adapted quickly and kept delivery moving.Over the course of the engagement, we increased the pace of product releases while reducing rework between planning and implementation. Features moved through the pipeline with fewer revisions, and our internal team spent more time on product strategy and customer needs instead of managing development processes.Another thing we appreciated was their approach to software delivery. Rather than treating development as a sequence of isolated phases, they built a process where product, design, engineering, and QA could move in parallel. That shortened feedback loops and helped maintain momentum across multiple initiatives.Goodface became an extension of our team rather than an external vendor. The collaboration was transparent, organized, and easy to manage from start to finish.

      AI Development Review from Sergio Shanin

      We partnered with Goodface to accelerate the development of Pluspoint, our SaaS platform for multi-location businesses and franchise networks.The platform combines review management, directory synchronization, customer engagement, and marketing automation, so maintaining delivery speed while expanding the product requires a disciplined development process.What stood out about Goodface was their AI-orchestrated delivery model. Rather than relying on constant meetings, repeated handoffs, or extensive management oversight, they structured the work so that product requirements, development, QA, and releases remained aligned throughout the project. This reduced the number of clarification cycles, limited rework, and helped us maintain momentum across multiple initiatives.Their team contributed across custom software development, infrastructure, QA, integrations, and ongoing product improvements. We always had visibility into priorities, progress, and upcoming milestones, which made collaboration straightforward for both tech and non-tech stakeholders.As a result, we launched new functionality faster, spent less time revisiting completed work, and maintained a predictable release cadence while continuing to expand the platform.Goodface brought a practical combination of product thinking, engineering discipline, and AI orchestration to the engagement. They didn't just execute tickets; they helped create a delivery process that let our team focus more on product strategy and customer needs, rather than on day-to-day coordination.

      AI Development Review from Yaroslav Semeniuk

      Goodface served as an accountable software development partner embedded in our delivery process, handling front-end, back-end, QA, and DevOps for a complex eSports platform. Their structured approach to end-to-end product development using AI orchestration reduced rework and overspending, minimized designdev misalignment, and kept delivery on schedule without constant supervision. We had clear visibility into each project stage and could exchange feedback at any time, without the need for frequent meetings or micromanagement. Execution was well-organized, and overall, we achieved greater efficiency and better outcomes with such an AI-orchestrated framework than with previous vendors. We would confidently recommend them.

They offer a broad, end-to-end set of services that combine strategy, engineering, and user experience to bring physical and digital products to market faster and with lower risk.

Their key services include:

  • Product strategy and discovery: Accounting for over 39% of revenue share in 2023, this concerns defining what product to build and why, based on market demand, business goals, and user needs. It includes market research, product positioning, concept validation, and early-stage product development planning.
  • UX research and user experience (UX Design): Understanding user behavior and designing experiences that are intuitive and efficient, relying on UX research, usability testing, journey mapping, and behavior analysis for digital products and services.
  • Industrial design: Designing physical products with a focus on usability, aesthetics, and manufacturability. It includes form development, ergonomics, materials selection, and collaboration with industrial designers.
  • Engineering and technical design: Translating design concepts into functional, manufacturable solutions using engineering principles, including mechanical engineering, system architecture, feasibility analysis, and design for manufacturing.
  • CAD modeling and prototyping: Product designers create digital and physical models to test, refine, and validate product concepts before production.
  • Branding, visual, and experience design: Aligning the product with a cohesive brand identity and consistent user experience across all touchpoints, while relying on graphic design, packaging, and integration with digital marketing and web development.
  • Product launch, optimization, and growth: Supporting the product after design to ensure successful launch and continuous improvement.

How much do product design services cost?

The cost of hiring product design companies varies widely depending on scope, complexity, and the level of expertise.

Product design firms typically charge $100-$450 per hour for full-service work that includes UX design, engineering, and product development.

Project-based pricing:

  • Small projects (e.g., concept design, UX audit): $5,000-$15,000
  • Mid-size projects, such as UX/UI design for a mobile app or web platform: $30,000-$100,000
  • End-to-end product development: $100,000+

What's the difference between product design, industrial design, and UX design?

The best product design agencies combine all three into a collaborative approach, ensuring your product is functional, manufacturable, intuitive, and competitive in the market.

Are there hidden costs I should be aware of when hiring product designers?

Yes, you may expect some additional or hidden costs, although most reputable product design companies will present clear pricing.

According to the Project Management Institute, projects with unclear requirements are 2-3 times more likely to exceed budget and timelines. 

Cost category Estimated cost range
Scope creep and extra iterations10% to 30% of the total project budget
UX research and testing$5,000-$25,000+ per round
Prototyping and engineering work $2,000-$50,000+
Third-party tools and integrations $500-$5,000+ per project
Post-launch support and updates $5,000-$15,000+ per month
Manufacturing preparation$10,000-$100,000+

The best designers with proven expertise will be transparent about these factors and help you plan for the true cost of product design, instead of just the initial estimate. 

What should I look for in a product design firm's portfolio?

When evaluating an agency portfolio, you're assessing whether the team can deliver measurable business outcomes, handle complexity, and align with your product goals.

Therefore, look for the following:

  1. Proven business impact: Look for case studies that show measurable results. A strong case study might show a 30-50% increase in conversion rates after UX redesign or a 20% reduction in churn for a SaaS product.
  2. End-to-end product design process: Top product designers should demonstrate a complete design process, starting from research, through ideation, prototyping, and testing, to launch. 
  3. Depth in UX research and user-centered design: A strong portfolio should show how the team understands user needs. High-quality projects often include 5-10 user interviews per testinground, which is standard for identifying most usability issues.
  4. Experience with similar product types or industries: An agency with 3-5 similar projects in your space is more likely to understand constraints and speed up delivery.
  5. Technical capability and engineering integration: A strong portfolio should show evidence of CAD modeling, prototyping, or engineering work, integration with mechanical engineering or development teams. 
  6. Complexity and problem-solving ability: A renowned product design studio showcases how it solves complex challenges. Projects involving multiple user roles or workflows indicate higher capability.

How do product design companies measure success?

They measure success based on real business impact, user experience, and product performance: 

  1. User experience (UX design) performance 
    Measured through usability metrics like task success rate, time-on-task, and user satisfaction. Better UX can improve task completion rates by up to 80%, according to Nielsen Norman Group. 
  2. Conversion and revenue growth 
    Design improvements are tracked through conversion rates, sales, and funnel performance. Small UX changes can increase conversions by 10–25%, according to Forrester. 
  3. User engagement and retention 
    Active users, session duration, and churn rate show how well the product meets user needs. PwC reports that UX improvements can boost retention by up to 30%. 
  4. Time-to-market and efficiency 
    A strong design process reduces delays and rework. Companies with mature design practices can cut development time by up to 50%, according to McKinsey. 
  5. Product adoption and market fit 
    Success is measured by how quickly users adopt the product and how often key features are used. 
  6. Return on investment (ROI) 
    Design is evaluated based on revenue growth and cost savings. Design-led companies achieve 32% higher revenue growth and 56% higher shareholder returns, according to McKinsey.

What is the typical timeline for a product design project?
