Linkup ST

I'm the CPO of Peerplays, a blockchain technology company with about 40 employees.

We're building a new political activism app and hired Linkup Studio to help us design that application.

Before the engagement, we had our user personas defined and research completed. We also conducted five workshops internally before we were ready to proceed with the project. We needed to determine what makes a good application interface and how it should work, so we hired Linkup Studio to help us with that part, create the screens, and the UX/UI design. I gave them all the workshop materials. We had early discovery meetings to make sense of it. We mainly worked in Figma.

Usually, 3–5 people, including graphic artists and UI designers, were on the project at any given time. One business analyst also served as the project manager.

I was trying to choose the best design agency for this project. I went through a whole process to find nine candidates, three in each price point: three top-tier, three mid-level, and three entry-level firms. I sent all of them the same material, a Loom, and some background information, and then I asked for a quote.

The total cost was between $50,000–$60,000.

We worked with Linkup Studio from May–July 2023.

The quality was top-notch, and everyone was completely blown away. The entire Linkup Studio team did fantastic work.

We had daily work sessions. Everything was on time and within budget. There weren't any surprises; it was smooth like butter. We primarily used Google Meet for communication.

Three people asked where we found Linkup Studio because of their outstanding work, especially for what we paid. Linkup Studio just knocked it out of the park.

There are no areas for improvement.

It helps to know what you want. One of the things that made it work so well for us was that we already knew what we wanted and what the application was about. In that case, you're asking them to do the design, not the whole business.

Linkup ST handled the full development, from the early planning stage through to launch. They built both the frontend and backend of the platform, created the custom game logic for real-time multiplayer games, and designed a beautiful, modern UI/UX that made the platform feel polished and easy to use.

The main outcome was a complete, production-ready version

Everything was mostly delivered on time, and whenever an issue came up, communication was excellent, and we never had any issues that were unresolved. The team was easy to reach, clear about what was happening, and quick to respond to our messages.

What stood out most was the quality of the design work. The platform ended up looking much better than we originally imagined, and they clearly cared about getting the details right.

Like any company, there are always things that can be improved. Overall, Linkup ST did a great job, but I would suggest putting a bit more attention into the testing and bug-detection process.

I’m the director of operations at DECA, a financial and operational consulting company. We specialize in incentives, compliance, and access to capital through grants, tax credits, and financing solutions.

We needed help with a software development project.

Linkup ST has designed and developed our software platform. The team has also done the scoping, architecture, and project management. The platform is an ERP system customized for our industry and location. It’s an AI-based guided wizard or workflow that enables our clients to engage with our services and allows our team to automate a lot of the backend features. The platform is tailored towards the Puerto Rico tax incentives landscape, where we have a tax credit application, Act 60 application, tax and compliance filings, etc.

We’ve worked with 10+ teammates from Linkup ST.

Someone referred Linkup ST to me. I chose them because they had high ratings, a great culture fit, good value for the cost, and aligned company values.

We started working together in May 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

Linkup ST has delivered a software platform that our firm is already using. Our entire team has moved to the platform, which has around 50 internal users and more than 300 external users. We’ve seen a lot of increased productivity, time savings, and error reduction. The platform has saved us about 30% on the backend, and we anticipate it saving additional time shortly in the future. Our team is now able to spend more time on the high-level review.

Linkup ST’s project management has been seamless. The team has been attentive and ensured we stay on deadlines or, at least, stay informed of the reasons for any delay. We communicate via in-person meetings, virtual meetings, and email or messaging apps.

Linkup ST has been very good at catering to our needs. The team always makes us feel like the number one focus. Linkup ST gives great advice and consultancy and performs the results we want.

I can’t think of anything for Linkup ST to improve.

I’m the founder of Startup Ready, a company that provides technical services to other companies. We often bring in a fractional CTO to lead a team of developers, designers, DevOps engineers, analysts, and project managers to deliver progress.

We needed help with our application delivery, across a number of different media, and they delivered.

Linkup ST has provided a deep technical team to help us in all aspects of our application delivery. The team has included UI/UX designers, graphic designers, mobile and web application developers, architects, backend developers, and DevOps engineers to set up the infrastructure and provide emergency support. Linkup ST has been a core part of my team in every aspect, so I’ve brought them into every project I’ve had, from the smallest to the largest.

We’ve worked with 30+ teammates from Linkup ST.

Someone referred Linkup ST to me. I chose them over other options because their pricing fit our budget, they were a great culture fit, they offered good value for the cost, and their company values aligned with ours.

We’ve spent around $1,000,000.

We started working together in March 2018, and the engagement is ongoing.

Linkup ST has delivered what we’ve asked of them each time. The quality of their work has reflected the input and clarity we’ve provided. Moreover, our team has loved working with them and having them on our team. Linkup ST has been loyal, responsive, and fully integrated into everything we do.

We’ve managed most of the projects on our side, but Linkup ST has delivered what we’ve asked of them within the timeframe they’ve estimated each time. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

I’m impressed by their depth, flexibility in ever-changing environments, and dedication to the projects.

There’s nothing they need to improve.
