> MVP development for startups: a web app MVP from $6,000, built in about 4 weeks after a $450 written scoping. Flutter mobile apps are quoted separately.

Canonical: https://app369.com/service/mvp-development/

An MVP is the smallest version of your app that real users can use for its core job. App369 builds web app MVPs from $6,000, after a $450 written scoping, in about 4 weeks from the signed quote. Mobile apps in [Flutter](https://app369.com/service/flutter-development/) are quoted separately, after a written scoping. One developer, Simon Dziak, builds it.

## **Prefer a fixed price?**

Fixed scope, fixed price, paid upfront. The work happens in writing; no call needed.

## How much does MVP development cost?

Scope

## **What does MVP development include?**

01

### **A written scope first**

For $450, Simon writes down the users and roles, screens, data model and integrations, what goes in the first version and what waits, and a fixed price and timeline for the build, within 3 business days.

02

### **The core build**

Sign-in, roles and the core flows in the agreed scope, plus Stripe payments, email or other integrations the scope names. Web MVPs use Vue/Nuxt or React with TypeScript, on Firebase.

03

### **Your accounts, your code**

The app is deployed to your own Netlify, Vercel or Google Cloud account, and the code lives in your repository from the first commit.

04

### **Handover and fixes**

Handover notes, then 14 days of written fixes for defects in the agreed scope. New features after launch get their own scope and quote.

How it works

## **How does an MVP get built?**

2. 01 ### **Scoping, 3 business days** You pay $450 and describe the idea in writing. Simon sends back the scope, a fixed price and a timeline.
3. 02 ### **Your yes on the quote** Nothing more is charged unless you accept the quote. The build starts only with your yes.
4. 03 ### **The build, about 4 weeks** Simon builds the core flows in the agreed scope. The exact timeline is in the quote.
5. 04 ### **Deployed to your accounts** The MVP goes live on your own hosting, with the code in your repository and handover notes on how it is set up.
6. 05 ### **14 days of fixes** Defects in the agreed scope are fixed in writing for 14 days after handover.

Scoping

## **What goes in an MVP, and what waits?**

The checklist Simon uses when scoping a brief. If a feature doesn't help a first user finish the core job, or help you learn whether they want to, it waits.

### **Build now**

- Sign-in and a basic profile
- The one core workflow, end to end, on the platform your users actually use
- The data model behind that workflow, with security rules from day one
- Analytics events on every step of the core workflow, plus crash reporting
- Payments, only if charging is part of what you are testing
- A feedback channel: in-app form, email or chat

### **Cut or fake for now**

- Admin dashboards: use the Firebase console or a spreadsheet export at first
- Teams and granular permissions beyond the roles in the scope
- A second platform, if one platform can prove the idea
- Multiple languages, themes and heavy custom animation
- Offline mode and complex sync
- Integrations that a manual step can stand in for during the first months

Questions

## **Frequently asked questions**

### **What is an MVP in app development?**

A minimum viable product is the smallest version of your app that real users can use for the core job, built so you learn whether they want it before paying for everything else. Eric Ries popularized the term in The Lean Startup (2011). In practice that means one core workflow, sign-in, the data it needs, analytics, and a way to collect feedback.

### **How much does MVP development cost?**

A web app MVP at App369 is $6,000 and up, after a $450 written scoping that ends in a fixed quote. Mobile apps in Flutter are quoted separately, after a written scoping. The price depends on the core workflow, the number of screens, integrations such as payments, and whether you need an admin panel. The free app cost calculator gives a rough range first.

### **How long does it take to build an MVP?**

A web app MVP takes about 4 weeks from the signed quote, and the exact timeline is in the quote. Mobile apps are quoted separately, with their dates in the quote. The biggest lever is scope: every integration, role or admin screen adds time, so the brief decides what waits for version two.

### **Which features should an MVP include?**

Sign-in, the one core workflow, the data model behind it, basic settings, analytics events on each step of the core workflow, crash reporting, and a feedback channel. Payments only if charging is part of what you are testing. Admin dashboards, roles and permissions, multiple languages, offline mode and deep integrations usually wait.

### **When should I scale beyond the MVP?**

When the numbers you set before launch say people keep coming back: retention that holds week over week, users asking for more, and ideally someone paying. Until then, spend on learning, not on features.

### **Why hire MVP developers instead of using no-code?**

No-code is fine for testing demand with a landing page or a simple internal tool. A custom MVP makes sense when the core job needs native device features, real-time data, payments or logic a no-code tool can't express, or when you want a codebase that grows into the full product. The custom vs no-code comparison covers the trade-offs.
