Facts about FANCY from their own site and LinkedIn · October 7, 2026
How each company describes itself
FANCY
FANCY presents itself as a design subscription for business, an on-call team for branding, websites, apps, 3D, illustration, animation, and pitch decks. Its site says: “Upon receiving your task, our team aims to deliver the first draft to you within 48 hours.” Development and copywriting are listed as not included but discussable.
The site publishes a trial week at $2,490 and names 3 team members. Client reviews shown come from Atlys, Nexa AI Solutions, and Reno. On LinkedIn, FANCY shows 2–10 employees, based in the United Arab Emirates.
Humbleteam
We plan around a tested result. ING’s small-business banking prototype was designed and user-tested in 23 days, and a B2B banking MVP for ING Amsterdam reached a tested product in 5 days.
Each project carries research and vertical knowledge: 56 fintechs shipped, 30+ major banks, 30+ healthtech platforms studied, and a 27-app sports benchmark. The team is 49 people in Prague and Dubai, on European and Gulf hours, and has shipped 200+ projects since 2017.
Why product teams choose us over FANCY
Three things a project team brings to a new product.
Tested with users, on a clock
We measure speed to evidence. ING’s small-business banking prototype was designed and user-tested in 23 days, and an AI text-to-video platform had its prototype in 15 days. Logitech went to production in 4 weeks. We answer a new brief within 24 hours and can staff it from next week.
Research and regulated know-how
UX research is one of our core services, and our healthtech research covers 30+ platforms. In finance we have shipped 56 fintechs and work with 30+ major banks, so KYC, limits, and card states are designed with the regulations in mind from the first flow.
A senior team that stays
Your project is designed by the senior people from the first call, at 9 years of experience on average. On Clutch, 35 reviews give us 4.9, and 70% of clients come back for another project. Our 200+ projects since 2017 have collected 80+ design awards.

When FANCY is the better call
Two needs their subscription is built for.
A steady stream of small tasks
FANCY’s model is a fixed monthly price with unlimited tasks handled one at a time. For a marketing team that needs banners, landing pages, and pitch decks every week, a subscription fits that rhythm.
3D and animation on demand
Their services include 3D, animation, and illustration inside the subscription, and client reviews on their site single out that work. For a run of animated assets, that is a direct match.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to FANCY?
Yes, when you need a product designed and tested with users. We run projects with research, UX/UI, and design systems, and have shipped 200+ since 2017, including 56 fintechs. FANCY sells a design subscription with a fixed monthly price, unlimited tasks, and first drafts within 48 hours. For a steady flow of marketing assets, their model fits.
Humbleteam or FANCY: who delivers faster?
FANCY is fast to a first draft, which its site puts at 48 hours. We are fast to a tested result: 5 days to a tested B2B banking MVP with ING Amsterdam, 23 days to a user-tested ING prototype, and 2 weeks on average from a signed brief to a clickable prototype. Pick the measure that matches your goal.
Which fits a fintech building its first app?
We do. A first fintech app needs onboarding, KYC, limits, and card flows that pass compliance and user testing. We have shipped 56 fintechs, work with 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs have our designers inside their teams. FANCY lists MVP design in its subscription and publishes no fintech count.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
LinkedIn lists FANCY at 2–10 employees, and its about page names 3 team members across 3D, UI, and UX. Humbleteam has 49 people in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers on the first call, with 9 years of experience on average, run your project from research to design system. Ask who will own your account each week.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
FANCY publishes its prices: a trial week at $2,490, then a fixed monthly subscription. We have no public price list; we quote a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer on the first call. We reply within 24 hours, and a project can start next week, with the first clickable prototype 2 weeks after a signed brief on average.
