Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Mito
✓ Strengths
- •Auchan webshop case study shows full UX process—audit, card sorting, conversion-focused responsive redesign across devices
- •15+ year track record with major brands—Wizz Air, Auchan, Decathlon, Libri, Deutsche Telekom
- •Mito Digital unit delivers product work alongside creative, performance, and data divisions—useful when UX is part of a broader engagement
⚠ Watch-outs
- •UX/digital product is one of four business units—confirm you’ll be working with the Mito Digital team specifically, not the creative or performance divisions
- •Most of the group’s 6 pages of case studies are marketing campaigns and SEO—the digital product work is a subset of their total output
- •No published measurable UX outcomes (conversion lifts, task completion rates)—ask for specific results from the Auchan or Libri projects
UX Studio
✓ Strengths
- •Research engagements with major enterprise clients (streaming and tech) alongside startups—signals the team can operate at different scales
- •Named client testimonials from Brenntag, Finshape, and Keystone Academic—verifiable references across enterprise and startup segments
- •Broad service range covering UX audit, training, and consulting alongside core design—useful if your needs evolve beyond the initial project scope
⚠ Watch-outs
- •Published case studies rarely include specific business metrics—ask for conversion rates, adoption data, or ROI figures from past engagements
- •Website claims 8+ industry verticals from healthcare to cybersecurity—verify depth in your specific domain rather than assuming equal specialization
- •Team of '40+ experts' covers designers, researchers, and consultants—confirm exact team composition and availability for your project timeline
- •Several case studies focus on early-stage products (PoC, MVP, prototypes)—if you need scaling support for mature products, ask for relevant examples

Rate: €40-79/hr
€19,200–€37,920
UX Studio
Rate: €70-100/hr
