BUCK is a global creative company that makes animation, branding, live action, and experiences for big brands. We’re a 49-person product design agency: a desk-booking app, its website, and its design system reached production in 4 weeks, and every new enquiry gets a reply within 24 hours.
Facts about BUCK from their own site and LinkedIn · October 7, 2026
How each company describes itself
BUCK
BUCK calls itself “a talent-driven, global, creative company” and says it has been at work since 2004. Its work page sorts projects into 2D, 3D, branding, character, event, experience, live action, and titles, and the company is a certified B Corp.
Studios are listed in Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Amsterdam, and London. LinkedIn puts the team at 201–500 people. Clients shown on the site include J.P. Morgan Payments, Kia, Airbnb, and Coinbase.
Humbleteam
Product deadlines set our pace. A B2B banking MVP went from zero to a tested product in 5 days, and a hardware client’s desk-booking app, website, and design system were in production in 4 weeks.
The depth sits in regulated and data-heavy products: 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, 30+ healthtech platforms studied, and a benchmark of 27 sports apps we rerun every four weeks. Since 2017 we’ve shipped 200+ projects with 49 people in Prague and Dubai.
Why product teams hire us instead of BUCK
Each one is about getting a working product in front of users.
A product in production in 4 weeks
Logitech’s Logi Dock Flex desk-booking app, its website, and the design system behind both went to production in 4 weeks. ING’s small-business banking prototype took us 23 days from first design to user test. AI skills now make our app and web work 20–40% faster, and a new enquiry gets a reply within 24 hours.
Screens for money, health, and sport
We design the flows users touch every day after launch: KYC, card states, limits, and disputes across 56 fintechs and 30+ banks. In healthtech we drew the regulated device states for a digital stethoscope. In sport we rerun a 27-app benchmark every four weeks, so our patterns come from current products.
Proof you can check before signing
Since 2017 we’ve delivered 200+ projects and won 80+ design awards, 14 of them from Awwwards. Clients on Clutch rate us 4.9 over 35 reviews. Senior designers on a Humbleteam project average 9 years of experience, and the people on your first call are the ones who do the work.

When BUCK is the better call
Two cases where their studio shape fits better.
You need animation or live action
BUCK’s work spans 2D, 3D, character animation, live action, and titles. For a launch film, an animated brand anthem, or a character system with a long life in campaigns, that production range is the reason to hire them.
You want a studio in your city
BUCK lists studios in Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Amsterdam, and London. If your team wants the agency in the room every week in one of those cities, their map covers it and ours, Prague and Dubai, does not.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to BUCK?
Yes, when the deliverable is a digital product. We put an app, a website, and a design system into production for Logitech in 4 weeks, and we’ve shipped 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks since 2017. BUCK describes itself as a global creative company and shows animation, branding, live action, and experience work. For a campaign film, BUCK fits; for a product your users log into, we do.
Humbleteam or BUCK: who delivers faster?
We publish our timings, and BUCK’s site gives none. A B2B banking MVP with ING went from zero to a tested product in 5 days, a small-business banking prototype was designed and user-tested in 23 days, and our average from signed brief to first clickable prototype is 2 weeks. Your enquiry gets an answer inside 24 hours, and kickoff can be next week.
We need a product UX team, not a campaign. Which one fits?
We do, because product UX is our core service. Our work covers UX research, UX/UI, design systems, and mobile apps, with 18 published case studies and 64 projects on our work page. BUCK’s site lists 2D, 3D, character, live action, and titles as its categories. If your brief is onboarding, account flows, or a dashboard, that’s our daily work.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
Humbleteam is 49 people in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers you meet on the first call, averaging 9 years of experience, are the ones who design your product. LinkedIn lists BUCK at 201–500 people across studios in Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Amsterdam, and London. BUCK’s about page lists a long roster of names but not who staffs a given project.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
Neither side publishes rates. Our work is sold three ways, as a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer, and the number comes on the first call. An enquiry sent today gets a reply within 24 hours, and the work can begin next week. BUCK’s site lists new-business emails for each studio but no pricing model or start times.
