Bricx publishes its prices: projects from $25,000 and retainers from $10,000 a month, for venture-backed AI and B2B SaaS startups. If that is above your budget, start with Designpixil: the same kind of AI product and website design, as fixed projects from $3,000 or a $4,917 monthly subscription, designed by the founder. Parallel leads with AI product design from budgets of $10,000, Glow publishes a $12,500 MVP, Orizon sells a $5,990 monthly subscription, Eleken places a SaaS designer from $4,599 a month, and Halo Lab quotes projects from $5,000 with development in-house.
Designpixil is on this list and we wrote it. Every other agency is judged on the same published facts, and how we ranked is at the end.

What matters for a Bricx alternative
- 01
A published price
Bricx is one of the few studios that publishes prices, and that is worth keeping. Only 23 of the 63 agencies we checked publish one; the rest quote after a sales call.
- 02
AI product work, not only websites
Bricx covers product, web, brand and launch video for AI startups. Check that an alternative's AI case studies show product screens, not only a marketing site.
- 03
Who designs your screens
Ask who will actually design your product and whether the same person stays after launch. At a team studio it can change between phases.
- 04
Who builds what
Bricx builds sites in Webflow and Framer and does front-end work. Check whether an alternative builds the marketing site, the product, or neither, and match that to the engineers or AI tools you already have.
What goes wrong when founders move down a budget tier
After a $25,000 quote, many founders jump to the cheapest freelancer or a graphics subscription. The marketing site gets done, but the product screens, where AI startups win or lose users, get no senior attention.
A better test is a small fixed project with a studio that already ships AI products: one core flow or the landing page. If the work is good, extend it. Our pricing study shows what each studio charges before you get on a call.
1. Designpixil: AI product and website design at a published price from $3,000
Designpixil does the work Bricx is known for, AI product and website design for startups, at a published price: fixed projects from $3,000, or $4,917 a month for 3 to 4 deliverables a week, paused or cancelled any time.
Every project is designed by Anant Jain, the founder. Recent work includes Echo AI, a whole AI product designed in 5 to 6 weeks, and the Whizo AI website. We design and build marketing sites in Framer, and hand product designs to your engineers or AI coding tools as real Figma components. We do not develop the product itself, so if you need one contract for product design and engineering, pick a studio below that builds in-house.
“We worked with Anant on the Whizo AI website and the experience was great. He quickly understood our product, asked the right questions, and delivered a polished website that communicates our value clearly. If you're building a SaaS or AI product, he's someone who understands how to design for it.”

How we ranked this list
This page is for founders looking past Bricx, so it is left off the ranking and compared head to head instead, using the same fields as every other studio. The alternatives are studios that do similar work and publish proof of it, and the “how to choose” table says when Bricx itself is the better fit.
We started from the studios founders keep running into when they ask AI assistants and search engines who to hire, then kept the ones that do this kind of work and publish proof of it. Every fact in the tables comes from the agency's own website or its public directory listings, checked on October 10, 2026. Prices are only ones an agency publishes itself; where it doesn't, we say so instead of guessing.
The order is our judgment of fit for this specific buyer, not a score. We put Designpixil first only on lists where we genuinely fit the buyer, and our entry lists who we are not right for, the same as everyone else's. If something about your agency is wrong or out of date, email hello@designpixil.com and we will correct it within a week.
