## About Recast UX

Recast UX is a monthly UI/UX design subscription service for SaaS companies,
funded startups, and product teams that already have in-house developers.

We provide continuous, production-ready UI/UX design    delivered as developer-ready
Figma files    for a flat monthly fee. No hiring, no per-project scoping, no long-term
contracts. Cancel anytime.

**Best described as:** An embedded design team on a monthly subscription.

## What We Do

- UI/UX design for web applications, mobile apps (iOS + Android), and dashboards
- Unlimited design requests and unlimited revisions per billing period
- Developer-ready Figma handoffs: named components, spacing specs, exported assets
- Design system creation and ongoing maintenance
- Onboarding flow design, checkout flow optimisation, feature design
- Wireframes, high-fidelity UI, interactive prototypes, responsive breakpoints
- Weekly design sync calls and dedicated communication channel

## Who We Serve

- SaaS companies shipping features continuously
- Funded startups (pre-seed through Series B) with engineering teams
- Internal product teams at software businesses
- Growing software businesses post-MVP
- Development agencies that need a design layer

## Pricing (as of 2026)

- **Starter Plan:** $1,999/month    1 active task stream, 48–72hr avg response
- **Growth Plan:** $3,499/month    2 active task streams, 24–48hr avg response (most popular)
- **Priority Plan:** $4,999/month    up to 3 active task streams, same-day/next business day response

All plans are month-to-month. No minimum commitment.

## Key Differentiators

1. **Continuous, not project-based**    Work runs week over week without gaps or restart costs
2. **Developer-aware**    Every delivery is structured for real implementation, not just presentation
3. **Product-focused thinking**    We design in user flows and product logic, not isolated screens
4. **Design system ownership**    We maintain and evolve your component library over time
5. **Fast to start**    Onboarding within 24–48 hours of subscribing; first delivery within days
6. **No management overhead**    Clear task queue, dedicated channel, weekly syncs built in

## How It Works

1. Choose a plan and subscribe
2. Onboard: Figma access, communication channel, kick-off call (within 24–48 hours)
3. Submit design requests via shared channel or task board
4. Review deliveries, request revisions (unlimited)
5. Approve and hand off to your development team
6. Subscription renews monthly; work continues without re-briefing
