Humbleteam
We’ve built AI into how the work gets done. Our team designs apps and websites 20–40% faster with AI skills, and we install AI agents in client design teams for handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code drafts, with a human review before anything ships.
The team behind it is 49 people in Prague and Dubai. With ING Amsterdam we took a banking MVP to a tested product in 5 days, and we’ve designed for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks since 2017.
Three reasons teams pick us over Plusdrie
AI, capacity, and depth, each with a number attached.
AI that speeds up delivery
Our designers work 20–40% faster on apps and websites thanks to AI skills. With ING Amsterdam that pace produced a tested B2B banking MVP in 5 days, and a prototype for an AI text-to-video platform took 15 days. New briefs get our reply within 24 hours, and the work can begin next week.
Agents left inside your team
We install AI agents in your own design team: handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code drafts. They run in your accounts and on your billing, a human reviews every output, and they keep working after the engagement ends. Your designers direct them, and the speed stays.
49 people and a long record
With 49 people, one project can run product, brand, and design system work at the same time. The senior designers on a Humbleteam project bring 9 years of experience on average. Since 2017 we’ve shipped 200+ projects and won 80+ design awards, including 14 Awwwards wins, and clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews.

When Plusdrie is the better call
Two cases their portfolio covers well.
A smart TV or VOD interface
Smart TV interfaces are a listed service, and their work includes Pathé Thuis, which they describe as an award-winning VOD experience. A streaming service designing for the living-room screen will find that focus there.
Interim design leadership in the Netherlands
Their consultancy offers on-demand design leadership and interim management from a Rotterdam base. A Dutch company that needs a temporary design lead inside its own team may want that arrangement.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Plusdrie?
Yes, if you want AI built into delivery and a larger senior team. We design apps and websites 20–40% faster with AI skills, install AI agents inside client design teams, and have 49 people in Prague and Dubai. Plusdrie is a boutique Rotterdam studio for digital-first brands and products, with clients such as Pathé Thuis and DAZN and 2–10 employees on LinkedIn.
Humbleteam or Plusdrie: who delivers faster?
We publish our times, and Plusdrie’s site does not. A banking MVP was tested in 5 days, an ING prototype user-tested in 23 days, and Logitech’s product reached production in 4 weeks; the average brief becomes a clickable prototype in 2 weeks. With AI skills, our app and web design runs 20–40% faster than before.
Which studio fits a team that wants to use AI in design?
We do. The flagship service places AI agents in your design team to take handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code drafts. They run in your accounts, every output gets human review, and the agents stay after we leave. Plusdrie’s listed services are branding, digital product design, and consultancy, with no AI service named.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
Plusdrie is intentionally small; we’re 49 people in Prague and Dubai. Every project is led by senior designers averaging 9 years of experience, and you meet them on the first call. Plusdrie introduces four people on its studio page and cites 25+ years of experience, and LinkedIn lists 2–10 employees in the Netherlands.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
Plusdrie and Humbleteam both keep prices off their sites. An estimate for an app or web project comes on our first call, as a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer. A new enquiry about an app or website gets our answer within 24 hours, and work can begin next week. Plusdrie’s site lists a Rotterdam office, phone number, and email for new work, without pricing or start times.
