What we said about each
What we said about Bonanza Studios

"Case studies for HUK-COBURG, Stiftung Warentest, and the City of Leipzig show end-to-end process—field research, user interviews, iterative prototyping, and shipped products—with specifics like a 5-month go-to-market for HUK AutoService and a bespoke typeface scaled to 9,000 municipal employees.

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Bonanza Studios
✓ Strengths
- •5/5 Clutch rating across 60+ clients with named testimonials from CPOs, CTOs, and strategy leads at verifiable companies
- •Structured engagement model with clear timelines—7-day prototype, 2-week design sprint, 90-day digital acceleration—reduces scope ambiguity
- •Active thought leadership including an AI MasterClass, UX for AI podcast, and published know-how content on digital readiness
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Case studies focus on business outcomes and shipping speed—no visible UX research, usability testing, or design iteration artifacts; ask for process details if UX rigor matters for your project
- •Core team is 2 people plus an execution network of specialists—confirm who will be assigned to your project and their availability for the full engagement
- •Strong startup and scaleup portfolio but limited evidence of large-enterprise or regulated-industry work beyond UniCredit and BEUC—verify relevant experience if your context demands it
Edenspiekermann
✓ Strengths
- •Documented research methodology across case studies—field visits, qualitative user interviews, and consumer testing visible in multiple projects
- •In-house development capability (web, native, AR) reduces handoff risk between design and implementation
- •Major institutional clients including HUK-COBURG (12M customers), Stiftung Warentest (96% brand recognition in Germany), and Lucid Motors
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Portfolio skews toward branding and corporate identity—if your project is a pure digital product without a brand component, ask to see standalone UX/UI work
- •At €138+/hr with a Berlin + US office footprint, request a clear breakdown of which office and seniority levels will staff your project
- •Case studies highlight German institutional clients—if you operate in a different market, ask about relevant regional experience
- •Process documentation is strong but quantified UX outcomes (task completion rates, conversion lifts, satisfaction scores) are largely absent—ask for metrics from recent engagements
