## How each company describes itself

### MakeReign

MakeReign calls itself “A Digital Interface Company” and says it designs interfaces through research, user-centered design, and testing with real customers. It covers branding, platforms, native apps, ecommerce, websites, and motion, delivered in 2-week sprints through a Team-as-a-Service model, across industries from banking and insurance to retail and telecoms.

The agency says it has been around since 2016, lists offices in Amsterdam, Cape Town, and Dublin, and counts 100+ awards and accolades. LinkedIn lists 11–50 employees. Clients shown include Woolworths, Bettr Bank, Sanlam Indie, and Pineapple Insurance.

### Humbleteam

AI skills now make our team 20–40% faster on apps and web projects, and the timelines show it. A B2B banking MVP with ING Amsterdam reached a tested product in 5 days, and a prototype for an AI text-to-video platform took 15 days.

We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai, working European and Gulf hours. We have shipped 56 fintechs, work with 30+ major banks, studied 30+ healthtech platforms, and run a benchmark of 27 sports apps every four weeks.

## Three reasons teams pick us over MakeReign

Each one shortens the road to a tested product.

### AI that shows up in timelines

Our designers work 20–40% faster thanks to AI skills. A prototype for an AI text-to-video platform took 15 days, a B2B banking MVP with ING went from zero to tested in 5 days, and a signed brief reaches its first clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average. We reply within 24 hours.

### Agents that stay with your team

Our flagship AI service installs agents inside your own design team for handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code drafts. They run in your accounts, a human reviews their output before anything ships, and they keep working after the engagement ends. We also train product teams to use AI.

### Depth across four verticals

We have shipped 56 fintechs and work with 30+ major banks, studied 30+ healthtech platforms, and rerun a benchmark of 27 sports apps every four weeks. AI products are our fourth core vertical. Since 2017 we have delivered 200+ projects, and clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews.

## When MakeReign is the better call

Two setups where their model fits better.

### An embedded team for a year

MakeReign’s Team-as-a-Service model places a dedicated squad inside your organization, and its forms offer time-and-materials partnerships running from 3 months to 2+ years. For long-term capacity on a flexible budget, that fits.

### A South African launch

MakeReign has an office in Cape Town, shows South African clients such as Woolworths and Sanlam Indie, and states a B-BBEE Level 4 certification. For a product aimed at South African customers, that local track record counts.

## Questions and answers

### Is Humbleteam a good alternative to MakeReign?

Yes, when speed and AI in delivery matter. We design apps and web projects 20–40% faster with AI skills, took a B2B banking MVP with ING to a tested product in 5 days, and have shipped 56 fintechs since 2017. MakeReign is a digital interface agency founded in 2016, with offices in Cape Town, Amsterdam, and Dublin and a Team-as-a-Service model.

### Humbleteam or MakeReign: who delivers faster?

We publish dated timelines, and MakeReign’s site describes 2-week sprints without project timelines. Ours: 5 days to a tested banking MVP with ING, 15 days to an AI text-to-video prototype, and 4 weeks for Logitech’s app, website, and design system to reach production. A signed brief reaches a clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average, and we reply within 24 hours.

### Which agency fits a team that wants AI in its design workflow?

We do. We install AI agents inside your design team for handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code drafts, with human review before anything ships, and the agents stay after we leave. We also train product teams on AI. MakeReign’s site announces a creative technology director to lead AI-driven growth and lists no AI service.

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

We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers on your first call do the work, averaging 9 years of experience. LinkedIn lists MakeReign at 11–50 employees, and its site describes squads led by a consistent senior leadership team. Ask each agency to name the designers who would work on your product each week.

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

MakeReign’s project form states a minimum project value of R150 000. We quote a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer on the first call, with no public price list. We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours, and a project can start next week. Ask MakeReign how soon a team can start.
