## How each company describes itself

### Build in Amsterdam

Build in Amsterdam opens its site with “We build brands & digital flagship stores” and says it shapes the future of commerce through omnichannel experiences. It is a certified Shopify Plus partner, and its home page claims it has been defining e-commerce for over a decade.

The studio sits on Baarsjesweg in Amsterdam, and LinkedIn lists 51–200 employees in the Netherlands. The case list on its site includes Suitsupply, Mollie, Vitra, and Adidas.

### Humbleteam

Speed is where we start: a B2B banking MVP with ING went from zero to a tested product in 5 days, and a new brief reaches its first clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average. With AI skills in the workflow, our app and web projects now run 20–40% faster.

Depth comes next. Since 2017 we have designed for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, studied 30+ healthtech platforms, and rerun a 27-app sports benchmark every four weeks. 49 people in Prague and Dubai do that work.

## Three reasons product teams pick us over Build in Amsterdam

Each one comes from a published number you can ask us to prove on the first call.

### Live product in 4 weeks

Logitech needed a desk-booking app, a website, and a design system for Logi Dock Flex. All three were in production 4 weeks later. ING’s small-business banking prototype took us 23 days from design to user test. New enquiries hear back within 24 hours, and the work can begin the following week.

### Product depth beyond the checkout

Commerce ends at payment; our work usually starts there. We have shipped design for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, from onboarding and KYC to card states and disputes. We studied 30+ healthtech platforms for our UX research, and our sports app benchmark covers 27 apps, rerun every four weeks.

### 200+ projects and a 4.9 Clutch score

We have run 200+ projects since 2017 and collected 80+ design awards, including 14 Awwwards wins. Across 35 Clutch reviews we average 4.9, and reviewers keep naming speed, flexibility, and structure. Our senior designers average 9 years of experience, and the people on your first call are the ones who do the work.

## When Build in Amsterdam is the better call

Two cases where their focus fits better than ours.

### Your store runs on Shopify Plus

Build in Amsterdam is a certified Shopify Plus partner that builds digital flagship stores. If the brief is a high-end storefront on that platform, their whole studio is set up around it.

### You want the team in Amsterdam

Their studio is on Baarsjesweg in Amsterdam. A Dutch brand that wants its agency within cycling distance for workshops and shoots gets that from them, while we work from Prague and Dubai.

## Numbers behind the speed

- **4 weeks** to production for Logitech (app, website, and design system)
- **2 weeks** from signed brief to prototype (average across projects)
- **80+** design awards since 2017 (including 14 Awwwards wins)

## Questions and answers

### Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Build in Amsterdam?

Yes, when the product is an app, a platform, or a regulated flow rather than a storefront. We have run 200+ projects since 2017, including work for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, and we hold a 4.9 Clutch rating across 35 reviews. Build in Amsterdam describes itself as a builder of brands and digital flagship stores and a certified Shopify Plus partner, so it suits commerce-first briefs.

### Humbleteam or Build in Amsterdam: who delivers faster?

We publish our timelines, and Build in Amsterdam does not publish theirs. With ING we went from zero to a tested B2B banking MVP in 5 days. Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system were in production within 4 weeks. On average, our first clickable prototype arrives 2 weeks after a signed brief, and a project can start the week after your first call.

### Who is the better fit for an app that sits next to an online store?

We are, because apps and logged-in platforms are our core work. A loyalty app, a booking flow, or a member account needs states, edge cases, and user testing more than a campaign look. We have designed those for fintech, healthtech, and hardware clients, and we design 20–40% faster with AI. Build in Amsterdam’s site centers on flagship stores, and it can own the storefront while we own the app.

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

Humbleteam has 49 people; LinkedIn puts Build in Amsterdam at 51–200 in the Netherlands. On our side, the senior designers you meet in the first meeting stay on the project and design it, and they bring 9 years of experience on average. Build in Amsterdam’s site does not describe how a project team is staffed or how senior it is, so that is a fair first-call question for them.

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

Neither side posts prices, and we publish a fast start: a reply within 24 hours and work from next week. Our estimate comes on the first call, priced as a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer. Build in Amsterdam’s site shows no pricing or start times and takes new projects through a contact form, email, and phone.
