## 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 and answers

### 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.
