Frequently asked questions
What does a nearshore UI/UX designer cost?
Typically $5,000–8,000/month all-in through NearSmarter — around 45–60% less than an equivalent US in-house hire.
Do your designers only do UI, or research too?
Both. Our product designers work end-to-end — user research, information architecture and flows through high-fidelity UI and design systems — and can flex toward research-heavy or UI-heavy roles depending on your needs.
