Facts about Eleken from their own site · October 7, 2026
How each company describes itself
Eleken
Eleken presents itself as a design agency for B2B SaaS, built for teams whose product has outgrown its developer-built interface. Its home page says “11 years and 400+ products means we rarely start from zero.”
The model is a dedicated designer on a monthly plan: $4,599 part-time, $6,599 full-time, or $11,999 for two designers, with a 2-month minimum and a 3-day free trial. Designers can deliver frontend through GitHub. Offices are in Kyiv and Newark, Delaware, and the site cites 100+ Clutch reviews.
Humbleteam
A whole team moves faster than a single seat. Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system reached production in 4 weeks, and an ING banking MVP went from zero to tested in 5 days.
That team covers strategy, research, UX/UI, brand identity, and design systems, with 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks behind it. Since 2017 our 49 people in Prague and Dubai have delivered 200+ projects and won 80+ design awards, and our senior designers average 9 years of experience.
Why SaaS teams pick us over Eleken
A whole team that ships the release end to end.
In production in 4 weeks
Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system shipped to production in 4 weeks. ING’s B2B banking MVP went from nothing to user-tested in 5 days. The average brief reaches a clickable prototype in 2 weeks, and AI skills make our app and web work 20–40% faster. Your enquiry gets an answer inside 24 hours.
Brand, site, and product together
Eleken’s services center on SaaS product design. We design the product and the brand around it: identity, website, UX/UI, and the design system that ties them together. Our depth is in regulated products, with 56 fintechs shipped and 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs keep our design team inside their own.
A senior bench behind every project
Our senior designers average 9 years of experience, and the people on your first call do the work, backed by a 49-person team. Since 2017 the bench has delivered 200+ projects and earned 80+ design awards, including 14 from Awwwards. Clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch, and 70% of them come back for a second project.

When Eleken is the better call
Two setups where Eleken’s subscription wins.
One designer at a fixed monthly price
Eleken publishes monthly plans from $4,599 for a part-time designer, with a 3-day free trial and a 2-month minimum. If the budget is one seat with a fixed monthly cost, that model fits.
You want designs delivered as pull requests
Eleken says its designers can build the interface with AI and open a pull request in your repository. If your developers want design work to arrive as frontend code, that workflow fits.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Eleken?
Yes, when your product needs a team rather than one designer. We put Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system into production in 4 weeks, and we cover strategy, research, UX/UI, brand, and design systems. Eleken places a dedicated SaaS designer on a monthly plan. We are 49 people with 56 fintechs shipped and 80+ design awards.
Humbleteam or Eleken: who delivers faster?
Humbleteam publishes delivery times for whole products: a B2B banking MVP tested in 5 days, an ING small-business banking prototype designed and user-tested in 23 days, and a first clickable prototype 2 weeks after a signed brief on average. Eleken’s site says a designer can start within a week but does not publish time to a tested prototype.
Which is better for a fintech SaaS product?
Humbleteam. Our fintech count is 56, with 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs run our designers as part of their own team. We also design the brand and website around the product, which Eleken does not list as a service. Eleken names fintech among 10 industries, covering banking, payments, and DeFi.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
Behind each Humbleteam project stand 49 people in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers from your first call, at 9 years of experience on average, do the design. Eleken assigns one dedicated designer per plan, guided by its Head of Design, from offices in Kyiv and Newark, Delaware. Its site does not state a team size on the pages we read.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
Eleken publishes monthly plans: $4,599 for a part-time designer, $6,599 full-time, and $11,999 for two, with a 2-month minimum. Our pricing follows the scope: a fixed-price audit, scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer, estimated on the first call. You hear back within 24 hours, and the project can start the following week.
