Turnkey MVP development

An MVP is the smallest working version of a product you can put in front of users and charge for. Not a Figma prototype and not a deck, but a live service with a narrow feature set that tests the main hypothesis before a large investment.

01

Why an MVP

An MVP is the first version of a product that solves one user problem completely and tests whether people will pay for it. Not a trimmed-down version of everything at once, but a single flow taken to a working state. 6–8 weeks, from $3,000.

The main reason products fail is that they are built whole, on guesses about what the user needs. A year of development, full functionality, launch — and it turns out people use one feature out of twenty, and the one they needed was the twenty-first.

An MVP flips the order: a minimal version and real users first, development based on what they do second. It is cheaper to be wrong on an MVP than on a finished product.

02

How we choose what goes into the first version

The first version contains one end-to-end flow: sign-up, the key action the product exists for, and the result the user walks away with. Everything else waits until the first real data arrives.

We start not with a feature list but with a question: which hypothesis is being tested. Usually it comes down to one path: a person signs up, performs the key action, pays.

Everything not on that path moves to the backlog. This is the hardest part of the work — not technical but conversational: giving up features that feel mandatory.

What almost always gets postponed

  • Flexible settings and personalisation
  • Several pricing plans instead of one
  • A mobile app when a responsive version is enough
  • Integrations you can live without for the first month

Stages and timeline

Timeline — 6-8 weeks with a clear idea and your involvement in reviews. We work in sprints and show a working version at the end of each.

  • Week 1. Hypothesis, scenario, data structure, estimate
  • Weeks 2-3. First clickable screens — direction can still be corrected
  • Weeks 4-6. Logic, payments, admin panel, integrations
  • Weeks 7-8. Testing, analytics, launch to first users

We do not disappear for two months only to present a «finished product» that turned out to be the wrong one.

04

What you get

A working service on your own domain, access to the admin panel, analytics wired up and an understanding of what to do next — based on how the first users behave rather than guesswork.

The code and all access belong to you. We hand over the repository and document deployment. You are not locked to us and can continue with any team.

05

Cost

An MVP starts from $8,000. A full product with billing, several roles and integrations is quoted individually.

After reviewing the task we send a range and the scope of work in writing. If it turns out along the way that the task is simpler than it looked, we say so and reduce the estimate.

How much does MVP development cost?
From $8,000. The exact price depends on the number of scenarios and integrations — after reviewing the task we send a range and the scope in writing.
How is an MVP different from a prototype?
A prototype is a clickable mockup that does nothing. An MVP works for real: it stores data, processes payments, can be used and can be charged for.
How long does it take?
6-8 weeks with a clear idea and your involvement in reviews. We show the first clickable screens in week two or three.
What if the hypothesis is not confirmed?
That is a normal outcome and exactly why MVPs exist. You will have spent 6-8 weeks and a known sum instead of a year and the budget for a full product.
Who owns the code?
You do. We hand over the repository and all access and document deployment — you can continue with any team.
