Frequently Asked Questions
Which city has better UX agencies?
Both have world-class agencies. London has more fintech and enterprise specialists; Berlin has stronger startup and product design DNA. The question isn't quality—it's fit for your specific project.
Is there a cost difference?
Yes, but smaller than you'd think. London averages €115/hr; Berlin averages €105/hr. On a 400-hour project, that's €4,000—meaningful but not transformative. Choose based on expertise, not price.
Which is better for fintech projects?
London. More agencies with FCA experience, UK GDPR expertise, and Open Banking integrations. If you're building for UK financial services, the regulatory knowledge alone justifies the premium.
Which is better for B2B SaaS?
Berlin. The startup ecosystem produces agencies that understand product-led growth, rapid iteration, and lean UX. They've designed dozens of SaaS dashboards and know the patterns cold.
