Scoping an MVP: a clickable prototype, then 6 to 8 weeks
An MVP is not a discount product: it is a first version that does one thing, and does it well, so your first customers can use it. Here is how we scope it.
Start with a prototype you can click through
Within a few days, you walk through your future product screen by screen. You make corrections before a single line of code is written. It is the cheapest stage at which to change your mind.
From prototype to production
Allow 6 to 8 weeks from idea to an MVP in production. The path has four steps:
- Idea: we frame the need with you in half a day.
- Prototype: you click through your future product within a few days.
- MVP: a first version in production in 6 to 8 weeks.
- Production: we evolve it, monitor it, and hand it over.
The exact timeline for your project is confirmed in the fixed quote.
What moves the price
An MVP starts at €15,000. The exact amount depends on four things:
- the scope: the number of screens and features your first customer needs;
- the platforms: web application, iOS and Android mobile, or both;
- the integrations: payment, existing tools, services from other vendors;
- the hosting: in the cloud, or on your own servers.
Every project gets a fixed quote after a first 30-minute call: you know the amount before you start.
Think about what comes next from day one
A well-built MVP is not throwaway. We design microservices with a clean architecture, SQL and NoSQL data and a cache for speed: your product grows without being rebuilt.
The code, the documentation and the access rights are handed over to you. You can take the project over in-house or with another team, or carry on with us in sprints.
Who it suits
It suits you if:
- you have a precise idea of your first user and the problem you solve;
- you want to put a product online to test the market, raise funds or win a first customer;
- you have no technical team and do not want to depend on a contractor.
It does not suit you if your budget is under €15,000, if you want a price without having scoped the need, or if you already have a team and are looking for developers to reinforce it: in that case, look at our solutions for companies instead.
