What we said about each
What we said about Etnetera Flow
"15+ published case studies anchored by enterprise mobile work for major automotive and banking brands. The MyŠkoda project documents a full app rewrite involving 8 Scrum teams and 100 people, with the result handed over to a joint venture—a strong signal of delivery at scale. User research appears as a dedicated service line across multiple projects, not just a checkbox."

Read full review →What we said about Spring/Summer
"The published portfolio runs 65 projects across e-commerce, brand identity, and website builds, with named clients including Polène, American Express, Carl Hansen & Søn, Bang & Olufsen, and Carlsberg, plus mobile work for Magasin, Uniqlo, and Swatch; the award record is documented in depth (Awwwards 2x Site of the Year and 23x Site of the Day, FWA 28x). Case studies read as design-rationale narratives heavy on visuals and strategic framing rather than UX evidence, with no user research…"

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Etnetera Flow
✓ Strengths
- •Enterprise-scale delivery track record—MyŠkoda app serves hundreds of thousands of daily users, built with up to 8 Scrum teams
- •Dedicated User Research service line with visible research work across automotive, pharma, and telecom clients
- •Part of Etnetera Group—access to backend development, data analytics, AI, and cloud services under one umbrella
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Published case studies are primarily Czech and Central European brands—clarify international project experience if your users are outside this market
- •Listed hourly rate of €50 appears low for the enterprise scale of work shown—request a detailed estimate early to understand actual project pricing
Spring/Summer
✓ Strengths
- •65 published projects with recognizable clients (Polène, American Express, Carl Hansen & Søn, Bang & Olufsen, Carlsberg) and full case-study pages for each, concentrated in e-commerce and brand/website work.
- •Documented award record across multiple bodies (Awwwards 2x Site of the Year / 23x Site of the Day, FWA 28x, Creative Circle Digital Agency of the Year), supporting the premium positioning on craft.
- •Clear business legitimacy: Copenhagen address, phone, email, a stated 15-20 person multidisciplinary team, and named platform competencies (Shopify Plus, Sanity, Webflow).
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Ask for research artefacts and quantified outcomes (conversion lift, AOV, traffic) before signing; the visible case studies show design rationale and aesthetics but no testing or redesign-attributable metrics, which is a gap at a €150-199/hr rate.
- •Confirm Service Design, UX Audit, and Dashboard Design capability directly, as none appear in the site's offerings or portfolio.
- •Verify FinTech and SaaS/B2B experience with reference projects, since the visible finance work is investment/portfolio sites rather than fintech products.
