Humbleteam
Design is the whole job at Humbleteam, and we do it at pace. A small-business banking prototype for ING was designed and user-tested in 23 days, and a separate ING MVP went from zero to a tested product in 5 days.
Humbleteam counts 49 people in Prague and Dubai. Our deepest vertical is money: 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, plus healthtech, sport, and AI products. Since 2017 we have shipped 200+ projects and earned 80+ design awards, and clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews.
Why product teams pick Humbleteam over Reaktor
Three differences for a team that needs design answers before it commits engineering budget.
A banking prototype tested in 23 days
Our team designed and user-tested a small-business banking prototype for ING in 23 days. Separately, an ING Amsterdam B2B banking MVP reached a tested product in 5 days from zero. On an average project the first clickable prototype lands 2 weeks after the brief, and a new enquiry gets a reply within 24 hours.
Banking UX is our specialty
Our banking record covers 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs have our designers inside their in-house team. KYC, limits, card states, and dispute flows are screens we have drawn many times. That depth lets your engineers build from flows already tested with users.
Senior designers, start to finish
The senior designers on a Humbleteam project average 9 years of experience, and they stay on the work from the first call to handoff. Since 2017 we have shipped 200+ projects and won 80+ design awards, among them Red Dot, Webby, and 14 Awwwards wins. On Clutch, we hold 4.9 across 35 reviews.

When Reaktor is the better call
Two cases where Reaktor’s engineering scale is the deciding factor.
You need the software built too
Reaktor designs, develops, and maintains software over the whole life of a product. If one partner must write and run the production code for years, their engineering teams cover that scope.
Aviation and industrial systems
Their site shows an in-flight entertainment system for Cathay Pacific and AI-assisted sales work for ABB. For aviation or heavy-industry software, that domain record is the more direct reference.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Reaktor?
Yes, when you need product design done fast and handed to your own engineers. We designed and user-tested a banking prototype for ING in 23 days, and our average brief reaches a clickable prototype in 2 weeks. Reaktor is a technology company of over 700 people that designs, builds, and maintains software, so it fits when one partner must also write the code.
Humbleteam or Reaktor: who delivers faster?
Humbleteam publishes its delivery times, and Reaktor’s site does not. Our ING Amsterdam team took a B2B banking MVP from zero to a tested product in 5 days, and Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system reached production in 4 weeks. Our reply to a new enquiry arrives within 24 hours, and design can begin next week.
Which is better for a bank or fintech app?
Humbleteam is the deeper fit: 56 fintechs, 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs with our designers in their in-house team. Reaktor lists finance among its industries, and its featured cases are in retail, media, aviation, industrial, and health. On a first call, ask each team to show a KYC failure state and a dispute flow they designed and tested.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
Humbleteam’s 49 people in Prague and Dubai include senior designers who average 9 years of experience. Reaktor’s about page describes over 700 designers, developers, and strategists, with offices from Helsinki to New York and Tokyo, and LinkedIn lists 501–1,000 employees. The designers on your first Humbleteam call are the ones who design the product.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
Neither Humbleteam nor Reaktor posts a price list. Humbleteam sells a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer, and gives the estimate on the first call. A design phase with us can start next week, and the reply to your enquiry comes within 24 hours. Reaktor’s site offers a contact page and does not publish engagement models or start times.
