Design subscriptions are still a relatively new model, and we get a lot of the same questions. Is it really unlimited? What does "one request at a time" mean? What happens if I need something urgent? How is this different from hiring a freelancer or other design agency?

Fair questions. This article answers all of them and helps you figure out whether a subscription model is actually right for your situation.

You’ve got a product to build. Maybe it’s an MVP you need to get in front of investors. Maybe it’s a rebrand that keeps getting pushed because no one has time. Maybe you’ve got a designer already, but they’re stretched thin and you need senior-level thinking, not just execution.

You don’t need an agency. You definitely don’t need to hire someone full-time right now. What you need is a design partner who shows up, does the work, and doesn’t make it complicated.

That’s what Butter is.
