“First-class collaboration with an exceptionally creative team”
We worked very intensively with Knguru in Q1 2026 on a concept for a new training platform in civil protection. The collaboration was excellent, and the Knguru team contributed a great many very good ideas of their own that went far beyond the scope of a UX design. I have never experienced such outstanding collaboration on a project with any other team, and I'm thrilled. I can recommend Knguru wholeheartedly and look forward to working together again.
From day one, working together was simply fun. Together we developed the design of an app for managing concert tickets, and our ideas and wishes were not only heard but actively taken up and developed further in a meaningful way. What we especially valued was that requirements weren't simply ticked off: whenever something wouldn't have been the best solution from a UX or product perspective, it was raised openly, honestly and always constructively – along with well-thought-out alternatives. The team really engaged with our project, contributed their own ideas and worked with us to create the best user experience for our customers. The feedback rounds were always constructive, the lines of communication short, and decisions could be made quickly. In the end, we not only got a modern, well-thought-out design for our ticket app that we are very happy with, but also a collaboration shaped by trust, transparency and real partnership. Everything ran reliably on schedule, and at all times we felt we were working on a solution together – not as client and service provider. That's exactly how you imagine working with an agency. ⭐️

“Professional collaboration as equals”
KNGURU developed the UI/UX design and the web app for us, and we are very happy with the result. The collaboration works excellently, both in regular online calls and in person on site. Together we discuss ideas, question processes and develop solutions that really fit the product in the end. We would especially like to highlight working with Vera and Louis. The chemistry is simply right – you can tell that they are not only strong professionally but truly understand our requirements and vision. Our own ideas are taken seriously, developed further together and implemented constructively. That creates the feeling of working on a product together rather than simply being client and service provider. Before KNGURU, we had worked with two other agencies and unfortunately did not have good experiences. That made us all the more pleasantly surprised by the transparent communication, the open collaboration and the fair pricing. You always know where you stand, there are no hidden surprises, and in our view the value for money is absolutely right. We look forward to continuing to work together and can recommend KNGURU to anyone looking for a reliable partner for modern UI/UX design and the development of high-quality applications.

“Top agency with a real feel for good design”
Working together is a real pleasure: you describe what you have in mind and get it back, only more beautiful and better thought through. Communication is fast and straightforward. On top of that comes a modern, well-thought-out design that not only looks good but also simply feels right to use. I have full confidence that Knguru always gets the best out of the requirements, and I look forward to the first drafts every time.

“Very happy with the collaboration”
We are working with KNGURU Studios on the launch of our new platform and are very happy with the collaboration. We especially appreciate how they think for themselves. The team doesn't simply implement our specifications but brings in its own ideas and develops them further in a meaningful way. You can also tell how much effort and attention to detail goes into the designs. Communication is fast and transparent, and we always know where the project stands. Feedback is taken up and implemented quickly. We are very happy with the collaboration so far and can recommend KNGURU Studios to anyone.

“Five years of strong and reliable collaboration”
Our collaboration with Knguru started around five years ago with the smartmove app and continues today, as the product is still developed. Knguru supports us with UX and UI design for new features and updates. They also designed and developed our new landing page, while the app itself was implemented by our team. What I appreciate most is that Knguru does more than simply turn requirements into designs. The team asks the right questions, challenges ideas when needed and often suggests improvements to the original concept. Their long term knowledge of the product and our goals makes discussing new topics much easier. Communication has always been straightforward and reliable. I can share feedback openly, decisions are explained clearly, and the team reacts well when priorities or requirements change. This has made the cooperation efficient and pleasant over the years. The quality of the work has remained consistently high. The designs are modern and polished, but usability comes first. This is especially important for smartmove, where users need a simple and intuitive way to book and use shared vehicles. The same approach was applied to the new landing page, which presents the product clearly. Considering the quality, experience and product knowledge Knguru brings to the project, I believe the value for money is fair. After five years, I see them as a dependable long term partner rather than simply an external design agency.
“His constructive feedback took our product to the next level.”
I worked with Louis on my project for about two months and I'm really very happy with him. I especially valued his open manner and his constructive feedback, based on his solid understanding of the market and of customers. I'd work with him again any time!
“Easy collaboration with excellent design results”
We have been working with KNGURU since the beginning of the year and are delighted all round. Coordination is easy and fast, the team responds quickly to requests, is friendly throughout and always implements feedback promptly and carefully. We especially value their proactive thinking: KNGURU brings in its own creative suggestions but also implements stricter requirements consistently and reliably when needed. The design itself is lovingly thought through and always user-centered – which also goes down extremely well with our stakeholders, who are thrilled with the results. The designs of our portal have even become the model for our client's new digital style guide.
- Very likeable and competent team
- Very modern, high-quality designs, not only beautiful but also easy to use
- Communication was fast, straightforward and always on equal footing
- You can tell that KNGURU has a lot of experience with apps, websites and digital products
- Clear processes and transparent collaboration
- Highly recommended for UX/UI, web design and app development in Leipzig
“Professional collaboration with transparent communication”
Our new website is still being built, but so far we are very happy working with KNGURU. The team works professionally, understands our ideas and implements them very well. We especially appreciate the fast communication and the transparent way of working, which lets us follow the project's progress at any time.
Started as a prototype in 2025, now 60,000 registered users
DeepDays ran as a prototype in 2025, already with real users in the App Store. The full version went live in early 2026: over €1M in ticket sales through the app in its first year, rated 4.8 ★ on the App Store and Google Play.
Glücksgefühle Festival
The prototype for a festival with 200,000 visitors
Built quickly and ready to click through, so the team could try the app before the build.

Started as a prototype, now a German Stevie Award Gold 2026 winner
Click first, build later: the prototype was the foundation for the app.
A calculator estimates. A fixed price stays fixed.
This page used to host our app cost calculator. But a number from six clicks tells us nothing about your data or systems, which is exactly where the costs come from.
ChatGPT can give you a price in a minute, too. But nobody will stand behind it. Drawing on our experience from over 200 projects, we work out the details of your app during prototyping, then give you a fixed price for the build.
This team plans your app and its price.
Charly builds your clickable prototype, Ivan and Strahinja design it, and Vera manages the project through to the fixed price.

Common questions about app costs
How much does it cost to have an app built?
Our web apps start at €10,000, cross-platform apps for iOS and Android at €20,000, and native apps at €30,000. The exact price depends on the features, data and systems your app needs to connect to. After the prototype, you get a fixed price.
Why do you only give an exact price after the prototype?
Without defined features, data and integrations, the price would be a guess. That's what we work out in the prototype. If you already have a specification, let us know when you book and we'll bring a price range to the call.
What does an app cost after launch?
Servers and store accounts are in your name, and you pay the providers directly. If you want to keep growing your app, our design and development team is available from €2,699 a month.
Is a web app cheaper than an app in the stores?
Usually, yes. It doesn't need an app store, and one version works on all devices. An app needs to be in the stores if users should install it or it needs features such as the camera and Bluetooth.
Is the fixed price really fixed?
Yes. The price in the fixed-price plan applies to the scope we agree on together in that plan.
Who owns the code and design?
You do. The code, design and accounts are in your name, even if you later continue with another team.
What if the app won't pay off for me?
We'll tell you in the intro call, before you spend any money. With the prototype, you find out for €5,490 rather than €50,000.
How long does it take to finish the app?
You get the timeline along with the fixed price on day 21. It depends on the scope we define during the prototype.
