## How this shortlist was made

Candidates needed verified work at organizational scale: legacy modernization, compliance-constrained delivery, or programs spanning several internal teams. We scored our verified pool on the standard rubric and weighted 3 things for this page: a named enterprise engagement with a checkable detail, such as Merck's medical-legal review dropping from weeks to hours or Kenvue's design system covering 80+ brands; the ability to staff embedded teams or multi-team programs; and clarity about ownership, since 3 roster firms belong to larger consultancies. Rates, minimums, team bands and review counts come from Clutch profiles checked on 23 October 2026; anything an agency does not publish reads Not published.

## 1. Think Company

Shortlist it for: compliance-heavy design programs in pharma, health and financial services.

Compliance is where Think Company's enterprise work shows best. For Merck, the firm built a componentized design system with locked compliance elements that cut medical-legal review on Merck Connect from weeks to hours, per the Merck case study, and the Merck Formulary Resources payor portal it designed grew to more than 100 customers. The Conshohocken, PA firm, founded in 2007 with a Clutch team band of 50 to 249, also serves ADP, Johnson & Johnson and Nemours Children's Health, and sells research, product design and build, design systems, and embedded teams and staffing. Clutch logs a 4.9 rating across 18 reviews at $150 to $199 an hour with a $50,000 minimum.

Data: $150–199/hr · $50,000+ minimum · team 50–249 · founded 2007 · Conshohocken, PA · Clutch 4.9 · 18 reviews
Pass on them if: Your budget runs under $50,000; the minimum sits there and 65 percent of Think Company's client mix is enterprises above $1 billion.
Ask them: Which compliance elements in the Merck design system were locked, and who owned updating them after handoff?

## 2. Method

Shortlist it for: experience design with engineering delivery through a corporate parent.

Method has been a GlobalLogic company, part of the Hitachi group, since 2011, and that ownership shapes the offer: experience design, strategy and research in front, engineering delivered through GlobalLogic behind it. Verified clients include MetLife, Synchrony, Sunbelt Rentals and American Tire Distributors, and MetLife's VP of Design rated a UX/UI engagement 5 stars on Clutch. Founded in 1999 in New York with a Clutch team band of 250 to 999, Method prices at $150 to $199 an hour with a $50,000 minimum and holds a 4.8 Clutch rating across 18 reviews, though cost is its lowest subscore at 4.3. Its own site names no clients or case studies publicly, so proof lives on Clutch.

Data: $150–199/hr · $50,000+ minimum · team 250–999 · founded 1999 · New York, NY · Clutch 4.8 · 18 reviews
Pass on them if: You want a design-only engagement; Method has run inside GlobalLogic and Hitachi since 2011, and engineering-led upsell is part of the model.
Ask them: How much of a typical Method engagement is delivered by GlobalLogic engineers rather than Method designers?

- [Agency about page](https://method.com/about); verifies founded 1999, acquired 2011, 350+ employees, remote-first

## 3. Fuselab Creative

Shortlist it for: enterprise programs with dashboard density, AI workflows and public-sector complexity.

FuseLab Creative earns its enterprise slot through an unusually clean mix of UX depth and operational complexity. The California Department of Health Care Services dashboard work, based on 784,600+ beneficiary records across 2017-2021 data, shows the same discipline on dense business data that a public enterprise program needs, while the Fiserv Small Business Index case shows a B2B product design pattern with public-impact scale. The McLean studio sits in Clutch's 10-to-49 band at $100 to $149 an hour with a $25,000+ minimum and a 5.0 rating across 15 reviews; its GSA MAS vehicle adds procurement relevance for public-sector buyers. The main limit is bench and program width, not domain fit: it is a strong design partner for complex product work, not a sprawling consultancy bench.

Data: $100–149/hr · $25,000+ minimum · team 10–49 · founded 2017 · McLean, VA · Clutch 5.0 · 15 reviews
Pass on them if: You want a very large staffing bench or a design-first program with no appetite for operational complexity; FuseLab is strongest when product UX, data clarity and AI workflows matter more than a giant resourcing pool.
Ask them: What part of the team is assigned to our product and dashboard work after the initial design phase, and how does that staffing change if we add AI or analytics surfaces?

## 4. Codal

Shortlist it for: replatforming programs where design and engineering ship as the same team.

Engineering muscle is what Codal adds to enterprise design work: Clutch lists its service mix at 45 percent web development and 40 percent UX/UI. For Cost Plus Drugs, the team restructured the backend architecture, merged the Cost Plus Drugs and Cuban Card experiences into 1 system, and replaced a licensed authentication product with an in-house build the case study projects will save millions annually. Founded in Chicago in 2009, Codal runs 250 to 999 people per Clutch across offices in Chicago, Lincoln, Ahmedabad and Toronto, and also serves Children's Health, Charles Schwab and Flexport. Clutch logs 4.9 across 21 reviews at $150 to $199 an hour with a $75,000 minimum.

Data: $150–199/hr · $75,000+ minimum · team 250–999 · founded 2009 · Chicago, IL · Clutch 4.9 · 21 reviews
Pass on them if: Your entry budget is tight; Codal's $75,000 minimum is the highest on this page.
Ask them: On the Cost Plus Drugs rebuild, how were designers and engineers split, and who led the authentication replacement?

## 5. Rangle.io

Shortlist it for: design systems rolled out across large brand portfolios.

Design systems at portfolio scale are Rangle.io's enterprise case: the firm built Sanofi's Elements Design System over 10 months, delivered a composable platform and design system covering 80+ brands for Kenvue in 3 months, and shipped an AI shopping assistant for Nike in 3 weeks, with 6,300+ SKUs auto-tagged in a day, all according to Rangle's own case studies. The Toronto firm, founded in 2013 and listed at 50 to 249 people on Clutch, sells its design system practice as Scale Design alongside agentic product engineering and platform modernization. Pricing is the gap: Rangle publishes neither rates nor minimums, and its Clutch profile carries no reviews yet, so scoping starts from 0 on the first call.

Data: Not published · Not published minimum · team 50–249 · founded 2013 · Toronto, ON, Canada · Clutch No reviews yet
Pass on them if: You need third-party verification before shortlisting; Rangle has 0 Clutch reviews and discloses neither rate nor minimum.
Ask them: Who maintained the Elements Design System after the 10-month Sanofi build ended, Rangle or an internal team?

- [Agency about page](https://rangle.io/about-us); verifies founded 2013, team over 40, founder/CEO

## 6. Work & Co

Shortlist it for: product transformation with a consultancy's scale behind a Brooklyn studio.

Work & Co has been part of Accenture Song since the deal completed on January 22, 2024, so buyers now get the Brooklyn product studio with a consultancy parent behind it. Named work includes Health Answers by Pfizer and Chemille, an AI-powered materials platform for Celanese; Google and JW Anderson also sit on the verified client list. The practice spans digital product design and technology, experience transformation, and AI and agentic workflow design, with a Clutch team band of 250 to 999. Clutch lists $100 to $149 an hour against a $5,000 minimum, but the profile holds no reviews and the public case studies carry no quantitative outcome metrics.

Data: $100–149/hr · $5,000+ minimum · team 250–999 · founded 2013 · Brooklyn, NY · Clutch No reviews yet
Pass on them if: You want a boutique; Work & Co has been owned by Accenture since January 2024, and engagements now sit inside Accenture Song.
Ask them: What changed in staffing and pricing since the Accenture acquisition closed in January 2024?

## 7. Netguru

Shortlist it for: enterprise design systems and product design at offshore rates.

Poznan-based Netguru is the rate outlier here: $50 to $99 an hour with a $50,000 minimum, and a 4.8 Clutch rating across 73 reviews, the deepest review base on this page. Design is the minority line inside a development company founded in 2008 and listed at 250 to 999 people on Clutch; the product design arm covers discovery, UX research, UI, accessibility audits and design systems delivered with coded components. For Keller Williams, a top-10 US real estate franchise, the team built a design system from scratch, and it designed and refined Careem's payments app on user feedback, per Netguru's own case studies. UBS and MagicPay also appear on the verified client list.

Data: $50–99/hr · $50,000+ minimum · team 250–999 · founded 2008 · Poznan, Poland · Clutch 4.8 · 73 reviews
Pass on them if: You want a design-led shop; design is a minority line inside a 400+-person development company, and Clutch shows no UX/UI service line in its mix.
Ask them: Which enterprise design clients can we speak to directly, given the strongest published proof is self-hosted?

## 8. frog

Shortlist it for: global, multi-market design programs run through a consultancy parent.

frog has operated inside Capgemini Invent since 2021, arriving via Capgemini's Altran acquisition, so engagements with the 1969-founded studio now run through a global consultancy. The legacy is singular: frog's design language for Apple was first embodied by the Apple IIc in 1984, which Time named Design of the Year, and the studio generated 100+ products for WEGA and Sony, including the Trinitron and the Walkman, per frog's own history. Today it sells growth strategy, product design and delivery, CX strategy and new business build from 11 offices spanning San Francisco to Bangalore. Clutch lists $100 to $149 an hour with a $5,000 minimum, a team band of 1,000 to 9,999, and 0 client reviews.

Data: $100–149/hr · $5,000+ minimum · team 1000–9999 · founded 1969 · San Francisco, CA · Clutch No reviews yet
Pass on them if: You need recent, named proof; the case studies frog foregrounds are decades old, from the Apple IIc to the Walkman.
Ask them: Which enterprise design programs has frog shipped since joining Capgemini Invent in 2021, and can we speak to those clients?

## How do enterprise UX engagements get staffed?

Enterprise UX engagements get staffed as embedded teams inside the client's org, as project-based delivery teams, or through a consultancy parent's bench. On this page all 3 models appear, from Think Company's named embedded-teams line to the GlobalLogic bench behind Method, and the model you pick decides who manages the designers day to day. 3 staffing models cover most enterprise engagements. Embedded staffing places agency designers inside your teams on your tools and rituals; Think Company sells this as a named service line alongside project delivery, which is why it suits programs spread across several internal groups. Project-based delivery keeps the agency team on its own side of the fence with a defined scope; Codal runs this way, with 250 to 999 people across Chicago, Lincoln, Ahmedabad and Toronto per Clutch. The third model is the parent-company bench: Method staffs engineering through GlobalLogic, and frog draws on a Clutch-listed band of 1,000 to 9,999 inside Capgemini Invent.

Bench depth is the number to check, not headcount claims. Rangle.io's size signals conflict, with its own site saying over 40 people while Clutch lists a 50 to 249 band, and Netguru's dedicated-team model assumes a $50,000 minimum that may not fit a small design-only engagement. Ask every candidate who exactly will sit in your sprint reviews in month 4, because enterprise programs outlast the pitch team. For a staffing comparison centered on product-team integration rather than org scale, see our [B2B UX design agencies shortlist](/b2b-ux-design-agencies).

## What does procurement need from a design agency?

Procurement needs published pricing, a verifiable corporate record, security and compliance answers, and references it can actually call before a design agency clears onboarding. On this page, 6 of 7 firms publish minimums and 6 publish rate bands, which shortens that review; the firm that publishes nothing makes procurement do the discovery work. Start with pricing paper. 6 of the 7 firms here publish Clutch minimums, from $5,000 at Work & Co and frog to $75,000 at Codal, and 6 publish hourly bands; Rangle.io publishes neither, so budgeting for it starts from a blank sheet. The published floors cluster: Think Company, Method and Netguru each set a $50,000 minimum per Clutch, which is also the page median.

Ownership is the second file procurement opens. Method, Work & Co and frog sit inside Hitachi's GlobalLogic, Accenture Song and Capgemini Invent respectively, which can simplify vendor onboarding when the parent is already an approved supplier, and complicate it when you wanted a new independent vendor on the list. Compliance history is the third: Think Company's Merck design system locked its compliance elements so medical-legal review dropped from weeks to hours, the kind of named, checkable control a procurement team can verify with a reference call.

## Think Company vs Method: which to pick?

Pick Think Company for compliance-heavy programs with embedded staffing; pick Method for experience design plus GlobalLogic engineering under 1 Hitachi-owned roof. Both price at $150 to $199 an hour with $50,000 minimums per Clutch, so the choice comes down to ownership and staffing model rather than cost. The records are close on paper: Think Company holds a 4.9 Clutch rating and Method a 4.8, each across 18 reviews, at identical published pricing. The differences are structural. Think Company is independent, 50 to 249 people, and strongest where compliance constrains design; its verified clients run through pharma and health, with Merck, Johnson & Johnson and Nemours Children's Health on the list, and it sells embedded teams as a standing service. Method is a 250-to-999-person GlobalLogic unit focused on financial services and insurance, with MetLife's VP of Design leaving a 5-star Clutch review, and engineering capacity arrives through the parent.

2 cautions before deciding. Method's cost subscore is its lowest on Clutch at 4.3, and its own site names no clients or case studies publicly, so diligence runs through Clutch. Think Company is mid-rebrand in 2026, so its positioning may shift, and 18 reviews is a thin record for a firm of its size. If the deciding factor is a design system program rather than a full engagement, our [design system agencies shortlist](/design-system-agencies) covers that lane.

## What enterprise UX work costs and how long it takes

6 of the 7 firms on this page publish Clutch project minimums, running from $5,000 at Work & Co and frog to $75,000 at Codal, with a median of $50,000, double the $25,000 median across all 33 publishing firms in the [UX Shortlist Pricing Index](/ux-design-cost). 6 publish hourly bands: Think Company, Method and Codal at $150 to $199, Work & Co and frog at $100 to $149, and Netguru at $50 to $99. Rangle.io publishes neither. Published timelines come from case studies: Rangle.io built Sanofi's Elements design system over 10 months and Kenvue's composable platform in 3, and shipped Nike's AI shopping assistant in 3 weeks. No firm here publishes a fixed enterprise program length.

## FAQ

### How long does an enterprise UX engagement run?

The verified range on this page runs from 3 weeks to most of a year. Rangle.io shipped Nike's AI shopping assistant in 3 weeks and Kenvue's design system in 3 months, while its Sanofi design system took 10 months, per its own case studies. Enterprise programs beyond that renew in phases rather than carry an end date. Most firms here do not publish standard durations, so scope a first phase with a fixed end date and let delivery on that phase set the length of the rest.

### What security and compliance reviews do enterprise agencies pass?

None of the 8 firms publishes a security certification in the data we checked, so treat this as a first-call question rather than a website fact. The closest verified evidence is process-level: Think Company's Merck design system locked compliance elements so medical-legal review dropped from weeks to hours. Parent companies matter here too: Method sits inside GlobalLogic and Hitachi, and Work & Co inside Accenture, so their security reviews often run through the parent's programs. Ask each candidate which client security reviews it has passed in the last year and request the paperwork.

### Embedded team or project-based: which model fits an enterprise?

Embedded teams fit programs that outlast any single project: designers join your rituals, your tools and your backlog, which is why Think Company sells embedded teams and staffing as a named service line. Project-based delivery fits bounded work with a clear definition of done, such as Codal's Cost Plus Drugs rebuild, which merged 2 experiences into 1 system and shipped. Netguru's dedicated-team model sits between the 2 but assumes a $50,000 minimum. If several internal teams will consume the work, embedded usually wins, because handoffs between your org and an external project team are where enterprise UX programs stall.

### How do acquired agencies like Method or Work & Co differ from independents?

3 of the 8 firms here have corporate parents: Method has been a GlobalLogic company inside the Hitachi group since 2011, Work & Co joined Accenture Song in January 2024, and frog has operated inside Capgemini Invent since 2021. The practical differences are bench and upsell: a parent brings engineering scale, as GlobalLogic does behind Method, and it also makes cross-selling part of the model. Procurement may clear an already-approved parent faster. Independents such as Think Company, Codal and Netguru keep pricing and accountability inside one company. Neither structure is better by default; ask who owns your account when priorities collide.

### What does an enterprise UX program cost per quarter?

No firm on this page publishes quarterly pricing, so the honest answer is built from the anchors that are published. Minimums range from $5,000 at Work & Co and frog to $75,000 at Codal, with a $50,000 median; FuseLab's published minimum is $25,000. Hourly bands run from $50 to $99 at Netguru up to $150 to $199 at Think Company, Method and Codal, while FuseLab, Work & Co and frog publish $100 to $149 bands. Ask each finalist to price your first quarter as a fixed scope, then compare that number rather than rate cards.

### How do you keep an agency aligned across several internal teams?

Give the agency 1 artifact every internal team consumes, usually a design system, and 1 named owner on your side per team. The verified work shows the pattern: Think Company's Merck design system locked compliance elements so medical-legal review dropped from weeks to hours, and Rangle.io's Kenvue platform covers 80+ brands from 1 composable system, per its case study. Embedded staffing helps, since a designer sitting in each team's rituals catches drift early, and Think Company sells that model as a named line. Renewal is the last signal: ask which clients have re-signed for a second phase.
