What we said about each
What we said about Efigence
"Efigence's portfolio is deep in banking UX—published case studies for Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas, and Aion Bank document discovery phases, UX research, design systems, and agile integration with client teams, including a 10-designer embedded team for Credit Agricole's mobile app rebuild.

"Fireart Studio's portfolio lists 20+ projects with consistently strong visual execution—their Sprightful case study stands out with a documented process from workshop through research to user testing, though most other cases focus on final deliverables rather than methodology. The studio claims high-profile clients like Google and Rolls-Royce, but visible work is primarily startup and SMB apps; the Google project was illustration work for Google Play, not product UX—worth clarifying if…"

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Efigence
✓ Strengths
- •7+ published banking case studies with named clients (Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas, Aion Bank, Alior Bank, PeoPay) spanning mobile and web banking platforms
- •Credit Agricole case study documents a full engagement from discovery phase through design system creation with a 10-person embedded design and research team
- •Operating since 1995 with proprietary 'Scattered Design Process' methodology and Middle East expansion through Jeel partnership—signals long-term operational stability
⚠ Watch-outs
- •No hourly rates published—request pricing early in discussions to confirm alignment with your budget
- •Visible work is almost exclusively banking—if your project is outside financial services, ask for relevant examples or references to confirm transferable capability
- •Case studies describe process steps but rarely include specific measurable outcomes (conversion lifts, adoption rates)—ask for metrics if ROI evidence matters to your decision
Fireart Studio
✓ Strengths
- •Red Dot Award winner with 90+ Behance features and 132k Dribbble followers—visual design quality is well above average for the price range
- •Full design-to-development pipeline (product design, web, mobile, QA) at EUR 45-90/hr, reducing handoff friction for build-phase projects
- •Sprightful case study documents a year-long engagement from workshop and research through IA, wireframes, and user testing to a shipped product with dashboard, admin, and mobile app
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Most case studies showcase final visuals without documenting research, iteration, or measurable outcomes—ask for process decks or detailed walkthroughs before assuming UX research depth
- •Claims like '700+ projects' and enterprise clients (Google, Rolls-Royce) aren't backed by visible case studies at that level—request references or NDA-protected samples if enterprise work is critical
- •No specific vertical expertise visible—portfolio spans NFT gaming, solar energy, real estate, fitness, and home services, so clarify domain knowledge if your project requires industry-specific understanding
- •About page says '50+ experts' while the team page shows 9 named leaders—confirm current team size and who would staff your project
