## How each company describes itself

### Ackee

Ackee’s about page opens with “We are app designers and developers.” Its services are native iOS and Android apps, web apps with backends, and UX/UI design built on research, wireframe prototypes, and usability testing. The site counts 350+ projects and 70+ team members since its founding in 2012.

Ackee is based in Prague and opened a Berlin branch in 2016; in 2023 it joined the Expandia group. LinkedIn lists 51–200 employees. References on their site include J&T Banka, E.ON, Shipmonk, and WWF.

### Humbleteam

Design is the whole of what we sell, and we sell it fast. A small-business banking prototype for ING was designed and user-tested in 23 days, a B2B banking MVP with ING Amsterdam reached a tested product in 5 days, and a signed brief gets a clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average.

Our 49 people in Prague and Dubai have shipped 56 fintechs, work with 30+ major banks, and studied 30+ healthtech platforms. We have run since 2017 and won 80+ design awards, 14 of them Awwwards.

## Three reasons teams pick us over Ackee

Each one comes from being a design-only company.

### User-tested in weeks, sometimes days

A small-business banking prototype for ING was designed and user-tested in 23 days. A B2B banking MVP with ING Amsterdam went from zero to a tested product in 5 days, and Logitech had an app, website, and design system in production in 4 weeks. We reply within 24 hours, and work can start next week.

### Fintech and healthtech, studied deep

We have shipped 56 fintechs, work with 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs keep our designers inside their in-house teams. For healthtech, we studied 30+ platforms for our UX research and designed Eko Health’s regulated device states. Those flows come with us into every new project from the first sprint.

### AI agents your team keeps

Our team designs apps and web projects 20–40% faster thanks to AI skills. We also install AI agents inside your own design team for handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code drafts. They run in your accounts, a human reviews everything before it ships, and the agents stay after the engagement.

## When Ackee is the better call

Two briefs where their in-house developers make the difference.

### You need native apps built and run

Ackee develops natively for iOS and Android, builds backends, and offers care after launch, with what it calls one of the largest in-house developer teams in the region. If one partner has to write and operate the code, that fits.

### A Czech and German team on site

Ackee runs its site in Czech, English, and German, works from Prague, and has had a Berlin branch since 2016. If you want developers in those 2 cities who can meet in person, they cover it.

## What we bring from Prague and Dubai

- **23 days** to a user-tested banking prototype (small-business banking for ING)
- **56** fintechs shipped (plus work for 30+ major banks)
- **30+** healthtech platforms studied (for our healthtech UX research)

## Questions and answers

### Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Ackee?

Yes, if you need the product designed and tested fast. We designed and user-tested an ING banking prototype in 23 days and have shipped 56 fintechs since 2017. Ackee is a Prague agency that designs and develops native mobile and web apps, with 350+ projects since 2012. If one partner must also write and run the code, Ackee’s in-house developers cover that.

### Humbleteam or Ackee: who delivers faster?

We publish dated timelines, and Ackee’s site does not. Ours: 5 days to a tested B2B banking MVP with ING, 23 days to a user-tested small-business banking prototype, and 4 weeks for Logitech’s app, website, and design system to reach production. A signed brief gets a clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average, and we reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.

### Which Prague team fits a fintech product?

We do, for the design of a regulated money product. We have shipped 56 fintechs, work with 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs run our designers inside their in-house teams. Ackee’s references include J&T Banka and Zonky among its fintech work. Ask both teams for a KYC failure state and a dispute flow they designed and tested.

### How big is each team, and who does the work?

We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers on your first call do the work, averaging 9 years of experience. Ackee’s site counts 70+ team members across design and development, and LinkedIn lists 51–200 employees. Ask each company which designers will work on your product every week, and how many developers sit beside them.

### How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?

Neither company publishes prices. We quote a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer on the first call, and a project can start next week. We reply within 24 hours. Ackee’s site invites you to discuss a project in person and publishes no rates or start dates, so ask them for both.
