I've reviewed hundreds of agency portfolios and shipped 50+ products with the team at 925Studios. The mistake I see most with redesigns is a founder hiring for a full overhaul when the product needed an audit and six weeks of targeted fixes, or the reverse. Picking a SaaS product redesign agency starts with knowing which kind of redesign you are buying. I've ranked seven agencies on four things: strategic depth, SaaS domain fluency, process transparency, and demonstrable business impact.

Last updated 1 October 2026 by Mohammad Yusuf, Lead Designer at 925Studios. 925Studios is ranked first here and I've written plainly about where we're the wrong choice. No agency paid to be listed.

The best SaaS product redesign agencies in 2026 are 925Studios, Ramotion, Clay, Eleken, Cieden, DesignMap, and MetaLab. Published starting prices run from $2,000 for a UX audit to $100,000 for a full rebuild, and published timelines run from two weeks to eighteen months, so match the agency to the type of redesign before you compare portfolios.

TL;DR:

  • There are four kinds of redesign, and they are priced differently. A UX audit starts at $2,000, an incremental refresh at $4,599 to $7,200 a month, a full overhaul at $35,000 to $100,000, and a redesign with a rebrand runs three and a half to seven months.

  • Most products need less redesign than their founders think. Pendo found that 80% of features in the average software product are rarely or never used, so the first job is usually removing and reordering, not repainting.

  • Rollout decides whether users accept it. Linear shipped behind a feature flag, then a private beta, then a daily percentage of workspaces. Figma let users opt out during beta and reversed a decision after feedback.

  • Few agencies publish redesign prices or timelines. Ramotion, Eleken and Cieden do. Clay, DesignMap and MetaLab do not, so the only public figures are Clutch minimums.

Quick Answer: 925Studios ranks first as a SaaS product redesign agency for funded teams, with engagements from $7,000 covering the product UI, design system and marketing site. Eleken suits incremental redesigns from $4,599 a month, Cieden starts with a UX audit from $2,000, Ramotion runs redesigns with a $35,000 discovery phase, Clay starts at $50,000, and DesignMap and MetaLab start at $100,000 for direction-setting and full rebuilds.

How was this list built?

I started from the agencies AI search engines recommend for SaaS redesigns and the studios this article listed before its October 2026 update. For each one I looked for a real redesign of an existing software product on its own site, not a new build or a website refresh, and for any published price or timeline. I checked founding year, team band, minimum project and hourly rate against Clutch. Two studios from the earlier version were removed because their published work is commerce, public sector or enterprise web platforms. Where a figure is not public, the table says "Not disclosed." 925Studios is ranked first, and no agency paid for placement.

What does a SaaS product redesign agency actually do?

A SaaS product redesign agency works out why an existing product is underperforming, decides what to change and what to leave alone, redesigns the affected workflows, and helps the team release the result without losing current users. The diagnosis is the part that pays. Pendo analysed feature usage across 615 software subscriptions and found that 80% of features in the average product are rarely or never used, while 12% of features generate 80% of daily usage (Pendo, 2019). A redesign that gives every feature equal polish spends most of its budget on screens nobody opens. A good agency starts with usage data and support tickets, interviews the people who rely on the product, and separates the few workflows that carry the business from the many that can be simplified, merged or retired. Ask any agency you shortlist what it would remove from your product before you ask what it would redraw.

The Pendo feature adoption report is worth reading before you scope anything. At 925Studios, redesigns that go well almost always begin with a short audit that names the three or four workflows worth rebuilding. Our SaaS UX audit checklist covers what that audit should check, and the guide on why most SaaS redesigns fail covers what happens when it is skipped.

Do you need a UX audit, an incremental refresh or a full redesign?

Most SaaS teams need one of four things, and the right agency is different for each. The prices below are the published figures from the agencies on this list.

UX audit

What's included: A review of the current product against usage data and heuristics, with a ranked list of problems and fixes.

Timeline: Days to four weeks.

Price range: From $2,000 at Cieden. A two-week design sprint there starts at $7,000.

Best for: Teams that know activation or retention is slipping but cannot yet say where.

Incremental refresh

What's included: Workflow-by-workflow redesign released in stages, usually with an embedded designer working in your sprints.

Timeline: Two to four months for a first phase, then ongoing.

Price range: $4,599 to $6,599 a month at Eleken, $7,200 a month per person at Cieden, and from $7,000 at 925Studios.

Best for: Products with paying users where a single big release would be too risky.

Full overhaul

What's included: New information architecture, navigation, visual language and design system across the whole product, often with front-end build.

Timeline: Four to eight weeks of discovery plus three to six months of delivery at Ramotion. MetaLab's Tripadvisor engagement ran eighteen months.

Price range: $35,000 for discovery alone at Ramotion, $50,000+ at Clay, and $100,000+ at MetaLab.

Best for: Products whose structure blocks new features, or whose technology has to change anyway.

Redesign plus rebrand

What's included: A new brand identity carried through the marketing site and the product UI in one programme.

Timeline: Three and a half to seven months for a brand redesign at Ramotion.

Price range: Branding from $85,000 and website design from $45,000 at Ramotion.

Best for: Companies repositioning after a funding round, a merger or a move upmarket.

Which 7 agencies are best for a SaaS product redesign in 2026?

1. 925Studios

925Studios is a product design studio for funded AI and B2B SaaS teams, named Best AI SaaS & Web3 UI/UX Design Studio at The SaaS-ies 2026 by Acquisition International. It ranks first for redesigns because a redesign rarely stops at the product. The marketing site still shows the old screenshots, and the design system has to carry both. 925Studios redesigns the product UI, the site and the system in one team, so the three stay consistent on release day. Documented outcomes include a booking flow that lifted conversions 66% in three months and a site rebuild that took conversion from 4.2% to 5.9% while cutting bounce rate 23%. For MARA, a hospitality SaaS scaleup at $2M ARR across 1,500 hotels, the studio redesigns AI-assisted review and reporting workflows inside a live product. The working model suits staged releases: pricing on active requests, a Loom walkthrough every 24 to 48 hours, and work inside the Linear, Slack and Figma setup you already run.

Best redesign type: Incremental refresh or full redesign where the product UI, marketing site and design system change together.

Specializes in: SaaS and AI product UI redesign, UX audits, marketing sites, and design systems.

Best for: Seed to Series B SaaS and AI teams whose product has outgrown its first interface.

Starting budget: 925Studios engagements start at $7,000. Retainers and fixed-scope projects are both quoted against scope.

Typical timeline: Scoped per engagement, with progress shared every 24 to 48 hours.

Notable clients: MARA, Offa, Solana, Jupiter, Cerebria.

Watch for: 925Studios hands over build-ready files and a design system but does not take on full product front-end engineering, so you need your own developers. It is also the wrong choice for an enterprise replatforming or a programme that needs a ten-person embedded team.

2. Ramotion

Ramotion is a San Francisco agency, in the industry since 2009, and the most transparent redesign vendor on this list. Its own site publishes a product redesign programme with a fixed $35,000 discovery phase of four to eight weeks, followed by an initial delivery phase of three to six months. Its redesign of Turo's support portal reports a 58% increase in self-service score and 30% less team time on new requests. For Rizzle, a redesign of the brand, website and product UI accompanied growth to more than 34 million monthly active users. Clutch shows a $50,000 minimum and a 4.9 rating across 29 reviews. Our Ramotion alternatives list covers the studios founders compare it with.

Best redesign type: Redesign plus rebrand, or a full overhaul with build.

Specializes in: Product redesign, branding, web design and design systems.

Best for: Series A and later SaaS teams changing the brand and the product in the same year.

Starting budget: $35,000 for discovery, with monthly product design pods from $18,000. Hourly rates are $150 to $199.

Typical timeline: Four to eight weeks of discovery, then three to six months of delivery.

Notable clients: Turo, Rizzle, Mozilla, Okta.

Watch for: The portfolio leans toward brand, web and iconography more than deep product UX, and $35,000 buys discovery only. Ask which case studies were full product redesigns.

3. Clay

Clay is a San Francisco design agency that Clutch lists as founded in 2009, with 78 team members according to its own site. It is the premium choice for a full overhaul in fintech or enterprise software. For Discover it refined onboarding and card activation in the mobile app and built a design system to update the app gradually. For STC Bank it redesigned the merchant environment around how businesses operate and unified the product under one design system. Clutch shows a 4.8 rating across 32 reviews. For a side-by-side view, see our Clay alternatives breakdown.

Best redesign type: Full overhaul, often with brand and web.

Specializes in: UX/UI, branding, web design and design systems for fintech and enterprise SaaS.

Best for: Series B and later companies with a high-trust product and a budget to match.

Starting budget: $50,000+, with hourly rates of $150 to $199.

Typical timeline: Not published. Clutch-reviewed projects ran from about four months to more than a year.

Notable clients: Discover, STC Bank, Slack, Stripe.

Watch for: Clay's case studies publish no outcome numbers or timelines, and most work it labels a redesign is a website. Its Slack and Stripe projects were web and demo work, not product redesigns.

The best redesign brief I get is a list of things the team is afraid to touch. That list tells you where the product's real structure is, and it is usually four screens, not forty.

4. Eleken

Eleken is a SaaS-only UI/UX agency founded in 2015, with more than 100 team members and a subscription model: a designer joins your team and works in your sprints. That makes it a natural fit for incremental redesigns. For Zaplify, a UX overhaul run as a weekly experiment loop raised activation from 20 to 25 percent to nearly 40 percent. For SEOcrawl, the updated product was designed step by step and implemented by developers in under four months. Pricing is public: $4,599 a month part-time, $6,599 full-time, and $11,999 for two designers, with a two-month minimum and a three-day trial. See our Eleken alternatives list for comparable studios.

Best redesign type: Incremental refresh, screen by screen, with an embedded designer.

Specializes in: SaaS product UI/UX through dedicated designers.

Best for: SaaS teams with engineers and a product manager who need steady redesign capacity.

Starting budget: $4,599 per month, with a two-month minimum.

Typical timeline: Two to four months for a first redesign phase, based on its published cases.

Notable clients: Zaplify, SEOcrawl, Datawisp, TextMagic.

Watch for: Eleken is design only, and one designer per plan means you supply the product direction. Its pricing FAQ asks for a month's notice to cancel a monthly subscription.

5. Cieden

Cieden is a UX/UI agency founded in 2016 with 10 to 49 people and offices in Toronto and Lviv. It is the easiest studio here to start small with: its pricing page lists a UX audit from $2,000, a two-week design sprint from $7,000, and team extension at $7,200 a month per person. Its redesign of Foqal's support ticketing product ran about seven and a half months in two phases with a two-person team, and its work on RevvedUp's account-based marketing software has continued for around two years. Clutch shows a 4.9 rating across 46 reviews. Clients named on its site include Apollo.io and Blizzard.

Best redesign type: UX audit first, then a workflow-level redesign of a complex B2B tool.

Specializes in: UX audits, B2B product redesign and design systems.

Best for: B2B SaaS teams with tangled navigation that want evidence before committing to a full redesign.

Starting budget: UX audit from $2,000. Clutch lists a $10,000 minimum project and $50 to $99 an hour.

Typical timeline: Up to one month for a small project, about three months for a short one, and more than six for a long one.

Notable clients: Foqal, RevvedUp, Apollo.io, Blizzard.

Watch for: Its redesign case studies report qualitative results only, and the two strongest examples ran seven and a half months and two years with a two-person team.

6. DesignMap

DesignMap is a San Francisco firm that has worked on enterprise software since 2006 and now describes itself as three senior partners with no handoffs, joined by independent collaborators. It sells the step before a redesign: a vision sprint that produces a tested direction leadership can agree on. Its work with ExactTarget ran from 2009 to 2016, included interviews with more than fifty marketers, and produced Journey Builder before Salesforce acquired the company for $2.5 billion in 2013. Its Cheetah Digital engagement began in October 2017 as a two-week concept redesign of about ten screens and became two and a half years of work.

Best redesign type: Direction-setting before a full overhaul.

Specializes in: Vision sprints, product direction and design leadership for enterprise platforms.

Best for: Later-stage B2B companies that need executive alignment on a platform redesign before funding it.

Starting budget: $100,000+ on Clutch, with hourly rates of $200 to $300.

Typical timeline: Two weeks to a quarter for a vision sprint.

Notable clients: ExactTarget, Cheetah Digital, Cisco Meraki, Docker.

Watch for: DesignMap now sells direction and leadership, so you still need a team to execute the redesign. Its published case studies date from 2009 to 2020, and it has no Clutch reviews.

7. MetaLab

MetaLab is the Vancouver product studio that has worked since 2006 on products including Slack, Coinbase and Midjourney. Those were original designs. Its redesign record is in consumer and prosumer products at scale: a year-and-a-half engagement redesigning and rebuilding Tripadvisor's core mobile experience alongside the in-house teams, a redesigned iOS and Android app for Insider that the studio says brought four times the engagement, and a mobile and desktop overhaul for Instacart. It lists a $100,000 minimum on Clutch. Our MetaLab alternatives list covers the studios founders compare it with.

Best redesign type: Full overhaul and rebuild of a large, established product.

Specializes in: Product design, software development and brand.

Best for: Series B+ companies with millions of users and an in-house team to work alongside.

Starting budget: $100,000+, hourly rate not disclosed.

Typical timeline: Not published. The Tripadvisor engagement ran eighteen months.

Notable clients: Tripadvisor, Insider, Instacart, Addepar.

Watch for: No public pricing, timelines or Clutch reviews, and almost no published outcome numbers. The minimum is a large share of a seed or Series A round.

What do real product redesign examples teach about rollout?

The best-documented product redesign examples show that how a redesign is released matters as much as how it looks. Linear rebuilt its interface in about six weeks with three product designers, tested it internally behind a feature flag, opened a private beta, then released it to a percentage of workspaces each day before general availability in March 2024 (Linear, 2024). Figma spent more than two years on UI3, announced it in June 2024, let users opt out during the beta, reattached its floating panels after feedback, and reached general availability on 10 October 2024. Google gave Gmail users roughly twelve weeks after the July 2018 launch to opt out of the new interface before migrating everyone. Slack announced its August 2023 redesign as a rollout to new teams first and existing users over the following months, and still drew sharp public criticism within days. Each team staged the release, and the two that offered an opt-out gave users time to adjust.

The primary sources are worth an hour: Linear's account of its UI redesign, Figma's approach to designing UI3, Google's Gmail rollout timeline, Slack's redesign announcement, and VentureBeat's report on the reaction to it.

Never make radical changes when minimal adjustments will suffice.

Hoa Loranger, Nielsen Norman Group

That line comes from Nielsen Norman Group's Radical Redesign or Incremental Change?, which argues that extensive changes are risky and should generally be avoided, and lists the cases where an overhaul is justified: incremental gains have dried up, the technology is too outdated to change, or the architecture is a tangled mess. Our guide on how to redesign a SaaS product without losing users turns those rollout patterns into a plan.

Our honest take: most redesign failures are release failures. The design was fine. It arrived on a Tuesday with no warning, no way back, and a changed location for the one button a power user presses two hundred times a day. Before you sign with any agency, ask how the redesign will reach users in stages and who owns that plan. If the answer is "that's an engineering question," the agency is selling screens.

Planning a staged release and need the design system to support both old and new screens? See how 925Studios works with B2B product teams.

How much does a SaaS product redesign cost and how long does it take?

A SaaS product redesign costs between $2,000 for an audit and more than $100,000 for a full rebuild, based on the prices the agencies on this list publish. Clutch puts the average UX agency project at $84,973 over about 10 months, or roughly $8,895 a month, across all project types (Clutch, 2026). The redesign-specific figures are narrower. Cieden lists a UX audit from $2,000 and a two-week sprint from $7,000. Eleken's embedded designers cost $4,599 to $11,999 a month with a two-month minimum, and its published redesigns took two to four months. 925Studios engagements start at $7,000. Ramotion charges a fixed $35,000 for four to eight weeks of discovery before a three to six month delivery phase. Clay starts at $50,000, and DesignMap and MetaLab at $100,000. Budget the first phase as a share of one quarter's runway, and agree a decision point at the end of it.

The Clutch UX pricing guide is the source for the averages. Scope is where budgets break. One founder documented a rebrand quoted at $5,000 to $7,000 that reached $46,000 over eight months after it grew into a full website redesign. That was a marketing site for a hardware company, not a SaaS product, but the lesson carries: fix the scope of phase one in writing and price every addition before it starts.

How do you choose a SaaS product redesign agency?

Choose a SaaS product redesign agency by matching it to the type of redesign you need, then testing three things. First, evidence: ask for a redesign of an existing product, not a new build, with a measured result. On this list, Eleken's Zaplify work raised activation from 20 to 25 percent to nearly 40 percent, and Ramotion's Turo portal raised self-service score by 58%. Second, staging: ask how the redesign will be released, whether users can opt in or out, and how the design system will support old and new screens at the same time. Linear, Figma and Gmail all staged their releases, and each had a plan for users who were not ready. Third, ownership: ask who turns approved designs into production code and who handles accessibility, performance and QA. A redesign that looks right in Figma and ships with slower pages is a regression. Settle those three before you compare visual style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a SaaS product redesign cost?

Published prices run from $2,000 for a Cieden UX audit and $4,599 a month for an Eleken designer to $35,000 for Ramotion's discovery phase and $100,000 minimums at DesignMap and MetaLab. 925Studios engagements start at $7,000. Clutch puts the average UX agency project at $84,973 across all project types.

How long does a SaaS product redesign take?

An audit takes days to a few weeks. Eleken's published redesigns took two to four months, Ramotion plans four to eight weeks of discovery plus three to six months of delivery, and MetaLab's Tripadvisor engagement ran eighteen months. Linear completed the build phase of its 2024 redesign in about six weeks with an in-house team.

Should we run a UX audit before a redesign?

Yes, in almost every case. Pendo found that 80% of features are rarely or never used, so an audit tells you which workflows deserve the budget. It also gives you a baseline to measure the redesign against.

Is an incremental redesign better than a full overhaul?

Usually. Nielsen Norman Group advises against radical changes when small adjustments will do, because large changes are jarring for users and risk breaking something critical. A full overhaul is justified when incremental gains have stopped, the technology is too outdated to change, or the architecture is a tangle.

How do we avoid user backlash after a redesign?

Stage the release and offer a way back. Linear used a feature flag, a private beta and a daily percentage rollout. Figma allowed opt-out during beta and reversed a layout decision after feedback. Gmail kept an opt-out for about twelve weeks. Tell users what is changing before it changes.

Should we rebrand at the same time as the product redesign?

Only if the positioning is changing. A rebrand adds months and budget: Ramotion lists branding from $85,000 and three and a half to seven months for a brand redesign. If the brand still fits, redesign the product first and let the site and identity follow.

Should we use an agency or our in-house team for a redesign?

Use your team if you have senior designers with time, as Linear did. Use an agency when the in-house team is fully committed to the roadmap, or when you need skills you lack, such as research, a design system or brand. Many teams pair the two, with the agency working alongside in-house designers.

What makes 925Studios different from other SaaS product redesign agencies?

925Studios redesigns the product UI, the design system and the marketing site in one team, priced on active requests with a Loom walkthrough every 24 to 48 hours inside your own tools. MARA, a hospitality SaaS scaleup at $2M ARR across 1,500 hotels, uses the studio to redesign AI-assisted workflows inside its live product. The honest limitation: 925Studios does not take on full product front-end engineering, so you need developers to ship the redesign.

The short version

  • Name the type of redesign first. Audit, incremental refresh, full overhaul, or redesign with a rebrand each point to a different agency and budget.

  • Buy the smallest useful first phase. A $2,000 audit or a $7,000 engagement tells you more than a proposal does.

  • Make the release plan part of the brief. Feature flags, beta groups and an opt-out are design decisions.

  • Ask for a redesign with a number. Activation, self-service or engagement results on an existing product are the proof that matters.

If your product has outgrown its first interface and you want the UI, design system and site to change together, talk to 925Studios about a redesign.
