10 Best Material UI Design Agencies (2026)

Best Material UI design agencies

Material UI is the opposite trade to an unstyled toolkit. It hands over finished, accessible, well-behaved components and, along with them, Google's opinions about elevation, motion, ripple and type. Nothing is broken, which is exactly why the problem goes unnoticed: the product works and looks like every other product that accepted the default theme. Getting out is not a matter of changing the primary colour. It means overriding the shape, density and motion decisions that are doing most of the visual talking.

Ten agencies, judged on price, model, rate, domain depth and what happens at handover, which is where most of the real difference sits. Every agency here carries a verified Clutch profile, and the ratings below are taken from it. Each entry says what an agency is worth hiring for and where it is the wrong choice for a Material UI product.

Best Material UI design agency for B2B SaaS: Bricx

Bricx is the best Material UI design agency for teams that want a distinctive product without giving up components that already work. Bricx has completed 50+ SaaS design projects across 30+ industries, with clients including Writesonic (YC S21), Collectwise (YC F24), Gigacatalyst (YC X26), Sybill, Camb.ai, LTV.ai, Instadapp, Hobbes and AT Kearney. The agency holds 27 verified reviews on Clutch at an average of 5.0/5.

Bricx works exclusively with B2B and AI SaaS companies, from seed stage through Series C, covering branding, website design, product UX/UI and end-to-end development. Engagements start at $25,000. Bricx re-themes Material at the level of shape, density and motion rather than colour, so a product keeps the component behaviour and stops looking like Google.

Overall, the team delivered a major design upgrade. They were communicative, flexible, and responsive.

Very Good Ventures

Very Good Ventures built the first commercial Flutter app outside Google, the official Hamilton app, in 2017, and mobile app development is 80% of its work. Flutter ships with Material as its default widget set, which puts this team closer to the source of the problem than anyone else here. It has been overriding Google's shape, elevation and motion opinions since before most teams noticed them.

The $100,000 minimum is the highest on this page, and its industries are entirely flat at 10% each across advertising, entertainment, business services and consumer products, so nothing signals a category speciality. UX/UI does not appear in its service mix at all, which makes this engineering-led theming rather than design-led.

Onething Design

Onething Design works where Material is not a choice but the platform default. Royal Enfield's app and HDFC Invest Right are Android-first Indian consumer products, and Royal Enfield in particular carries a brand character that a stock component set would flatten completely. It calls itself a branding and UI UX design agency and spends 100% of its work on UX/UI.

It designs and does not build, so the theme overrides have to be implemented by engineers who were not in the room when the decisions were made. Its industry mix is flat at 10% across automotive, consumer products, education and energy, and its reviews describe telemedicine and publishing work rather than component systems.

MindSea

MindSea's reviews include building React Native layouts in both light and dark modes, which is the theming discipline this page is really about: a token set that has to hold up twice over. Medical is 75% of its client base, the most concentrated figure on this page, and accessible components nobody has to rebuild are worth most in clinical software.

UX/UI is only 10% of its work against 40% custom software development and 40% mobile development, so escaping the default look is the smallest part of what it sells. At $150 to $199 an hour across 10 to 49 people, with 70% small business clients, this is a healthcare development shop first.

NetBramha Studios

NetBramha is the only agency on this page with Google itself among its clients, having designed an AI cricket coach for real-time feedback, and the rest of its work runs at Android scale: HDFC's mobile banking app for 60M or more users, and NPCI's BHIM UPI app. At that size a default theme is not a shortcut, it is a decision millions of people see daily.

It does UX/UI at 100% with no engineering, and 45% of its clients are enterprises, so a small product team is not the shape it usually serves. Its industries are financial services at 20% and eCommerce at 17%, so consumer scale rather than component system depth is what the record demonstrates.

Octet Design Studio

Octet Design Studio's published work is dense: an employer dashboard and navigation flow for an HR platform, and a document management system rebuilt around its information architecture. Density is the first Material default an enterprise product outgrows, because the stock spacing was drawn for a phone. It does UX/UI at 100% with a $5,000 minimum, the lowest floor on this page.

That floor buys a theme audit or a screen set rather than a component library rewritten in code, because it does no engineering at all. Information technology is 40% of its client base, and its published case study index is largely blog posts and generic project listings rather than named clients to inspect.

divami

divami is the one agency here carrying real design and engineering weight at once, UX/UI at 25% next to custom software development at 30%. Escaping a Material default is half a code problem, because shape, density and motion overrides live in a theme file rather than a Figma page, and one team holding both ends removes the handoff where those decisions usually die.

Its published record is complexity rather than craft: an audit defence platform's task and database-driven product, and an LMS revamped across mobile and desktop. AI development takes another 25%, and information technology at 30% is its largest industry, so design is one quarter of a product engineering business.

Musemind

Musemind's strongest published work is identity: brand guidelines and assets for a cybersecurity monitoring company, and a premium site for a boutique property advisory. Branding at 10% sits next to 30% UX/UI and 20% web design, and the Material problem is fundamentally a brand one, because the default theme is Google's visual voice speaking inside somebody else's product.

What is missing is component system evidence. Its case studies are Abyan Capital, Rivertel, Konoom and Prime Iraq, all product and site work rather than design systems, and its industries are flat at 10% each. Founded in 2021, it is also the youngest agency on this page by some distance.

TekRevol

TekRevol is the build-at-volume option: mobile app development at 40% of its work, 250 to 999 people, and $25 to $49 an hour, the lowest rate on this page. A Material theme override is repetitive implementation once the decisions are made, dozens of components restyled consistently across two platforms, and that is the kind of scope this rate makes affordable.

The decisions themselves are not on its record. UX/UI does not appear among its four largest services, its industries top out at 10% each across education, gaming, government and medical, and its published case study index is a single portfolio link, so there is no theming work to inspect beforehand.

ProCreator Design

ProCreator built a design system for HCL, a Fortune 500 company, which is precisely the artefact this page is about: the layer sitting between Material's defaults and a product with its own opinions on shape, density and type. UX/UI is 80% of its work, and enterprise and midmarket clients are 40% each, the sizes that actually maintain a system once it exists.

Low/no-code development at 12% is the only build capability it has, so a theme rewritten in code needs engineering found elsewhere. Financial services at 35% is its heaviest industry, and its named work, ITC, GSK, ZebPay and Netcore, is product and campaign design rather than repeated component system practice.

How much does a Material UI design engagement cost?

Where quotes actually land. Between $2,500 and $150,000-plus, median near $43,000. Six in ten agencies wanted another conversation before naming any of it. Those figures cover product design across the whole benchmark, so treat them as the range a Material UI product is quoted inside rather than a price for it.

What the hour buys. Rates ran $25 to $195 with a $55 to $90 median. Geography set the number; capability did not track it. Material UI work runs below the median for product design, because the component behaviour is already solved and the spend goes into theming and the screens the library does not cover.

Models divided 45% Time & Material, 35% fixed price, 20% retainer or subscription, and the honest answer depends on how settled your requirements are. For a Material UI product the model usually matters more than the headline figure, because it decides what happens when the scope moves.

• Fixed price works for a launch.
• Time & Material works for exploration.
• Retainer works for an ongoing product.
• Which one fits a Material UI product comes down to whether the scope is settled before the work starts.

How do you evaluate a Material UI design agency?

Five things separate re-theming Material from repainting it.

Ask what they change beyond colour. Corner radius, elevation, density and motion carry the Material look. A palette swap on default components produces a recoloured Google product.

Ask about the theme object. In Material UI the theme is the design system. Overrides scattered through individual components instead of centralised there guarantee the product drifts as it grows.

Ask what happens off the library. Every product needs screens Material has no component for, and that is where a themed product either holds together or visibly splits in two.

Ask about density. Material's defaults are generous, and a data-heavy B2B product built on them wastes a large share of the screen before a single decision is made.

Ask what they will not override. Focus behaviour, keyboard handling and accessible semantics are the reason to use the library at all, and restyling them casually gives back the only thing it guarantees.

What are the red flags when hiring a design agency?

• Slides where the work should be. A deck about process is not evidence of shipped design.
• A quote that never moves. Scope changed and price did not means the estimate was padded.
• Junior work in a senior portfolio. Ask who specifically produced the pieces you like.
• No mention of accessibility. For anything customer-facing this is a legal exposure, not a nicety.
• Vague on ownership. Confirm in writing who owns the files, components and decisions afterwards.
• No comparable example of a Material UI product. An agency that cannot point to work of the same shape is learning on your budget.

Should you hire a design agency or build in-house?

Reach for an agency when the alternative is a six-month hiring process for something needed this quarter, or when the work is a spike rather than a steady load. For a Material UI product specifically, the question worth settling first is how often the work recurs.

Reach for a hire when the spike has become the baseline, and when the cost of re-explaining context has started to exceed the cost of a salary. Where a Material UI product falls on that line is usually clear once you count how many times it will need doing again.

A themed Material build is one of the easier handovers, because once the theme object is right every engineer inherits it without thinking about it. The part that does not survive handover is the set of screens the library has no component for, which is where a product quietly reverts to defaults.

FAQs

Does using Material UI make every product look the same?

Only if the theme stays near default. The look comes from shape, elevation, density and motion, and all four are overridable in one place.

Is Material UI a good choice for a B2B SaaS product?

Often yes, for the component behaviour and the accessibility. The default density is the catch, because a data-heavy interface built on generous spacing shows far less at once.

What should not be overridden in Material UI?

Focus management, keyboard interaction and accessible semantics. They are the reason the library is worth using, and restyling them removes the guarantee.

How much does a Material UI design engagement cost?

Below the median for product design, since the component layer is already solved. Across the benchmark 45% of agencies work on time and materials, 35% on fixed price and 20% on a retainer. Bricx starts at $25,000.
