Why teams hire us next to, or instead of, Applifting
Three things a design-only company does differently.
Tested with users in weeks
ING got a small-business banking prototype designed and user-tested in 23 days, and Logitech had its app, website, and design system in production in 4 weeks. Every enquiry gets an answer within 24 hours, and work can begin next week. Our AI skills cut app and web design time by 20–40%.
Banking UX as a specialty
We have shipped 56 fintechs and work with 30+ major banks, so KYC, limits, card states, and dispute flows are routine for us. 5 YC-backed fintechs have our design team inside their in-house teams. Your developers get flows that already account for the regulated edge cases.
Award-winning design since 2017
From 2017 to now, 200+ shipped projects earned us 80+ design awards, among them 14 Awwwards wins, Red Dot, and Webby. Our Clutch score is 4.9 from 35 reviews. The designers who take your first call, 9 years of experience on average, stay on to do the work.

When Applifting is the better call
Two jobs that need an engineering company.
You need the code written
Applifting lists web, mobile, cloud, DevOps, and QA under AI-accelerated development, with 200+ people. If you need a team to build and run the software, that is their core business and outside ours.
An old system needs moving forward
Their software modernization service covers tech audits, AI refactoring, and AI implementation for legacy systems. For a migration where the architecture is the hard part, an engineering partner is the right first hire.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Applifting?
For the design part of a product, yes. We are a design company with 56 fintechs and 200+ projects shipped since 2017, 80+ design awards, and a 4.9 Clutch rating. Applifting is a Prague software company with 200+ people that designs and builds products end to end. If you split design and engineering between two partners, we can take the design side.
Humbleteam or Applifting: who delivers faster?
For design, our timelines are published and dated: 5 days to a tested banking MVP with ING Amsterdam, 23 days to a user-tested ING prototype, and a first clickable prototype 2 weeks after a signed brief on average. Applifting’s site offers design sprints and says its AI-powered MVPs launch in 1–2 months, a timeline that includes building the software.
Which company is stronger on fintech UX?
We are, by volume and focus. Applifting shows fintech work such as BankID and FTMO but publishes no fintech count; ours is 56 fintechs plus 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs run our designers inside their product teams. Ask both to walk you through a failed-KYC state and a card-dispute flow they designed.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
Applifting’s site lists 200+ people, while LinkedIn shows 51–200 employees, and its services span design and engineering. We are a design-only team of 49 in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers on the first call, averaging 9 years of experience, design your flows. Ask each company who will design your core flows.
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 we reply within 24 hours. A project can start next week. Applifting’s site offers a contact form and a design sprint guide but no published prices or start dates.
