Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Milk Interactive
✓ Strengths
- •17 published app projects for named clients (Migros, Swisscom, Coop, ETH Zurich, Sonepar) with dated Best of Swiss Apps awards spanning 2013-2024, including a 2022 Master for Teena and 2024 Gold for Uepaa.
- •Registered Zurich AG with 11 named team members and two named founding partners, plus Swico membership and a Swiss Made Software label.
- •Breadth across native iOS/Android and cross-platform stacks (Flutter, React Native), with one quantified production result published (Uepaa: 120,000+ users, ~90,000 alarms/year).
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Ask for the research and testing detail behind a case study (interviews, usability sessions, iterations), since published pages show features and awards rather than method.
- •Request adoption or conversion metrics for projects beyond Uepaa, as most of the 17 projects list awards but no user or business outcomes.
- •Confirm the rate band and current team availability in writing, since the site states a team of 11 and 15+ years against the directory's earlier figures.
Nordic Usability
✓ Strengths
- •Swiss market expertise with recognizable clients (Migros Online, GSK, ricardo.ch, Axpo)
- •Packaged service offerings (UX Expert Review, Accessibility Check, Startup UX Sprint) with clear deliverables
- •Boutique model with on-site collaboration—they embed in your team rather than working remotely
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Accessibility is a packaged add-on, not a core specialization—if you need deep WCAG expertise or ongoing compliance support, confirm their accessibility team's depth
- •Team of 3 limits capacity for large-scale or parallel projects
- •No published rates—request pricing early; Swiss rates typically run higher than European averages
