What does an MVP development agency do?

An MVP development agency turns your product idea into the smallest version that real customers will use and pay for, then helps you learn from it. A good one challenges the scope, builds on proven foundations such as login and billing, and ships fast enough that you can test the market before running out of money.

Four weeks is our average from kickoff to a live MVP with real users — one week of discovery, one of prototype and two of production build. Auth, billing and model plumbing come ready from our AI SaaS Builder, so the time goes on the part that is actually yours.

Who it’s for

Founders and teams who need a product in front of paying users quickly, without building something they will have to throw away.

Capabilities

What AI SaaS & MVP Build covers.

01

Discovery week

One week to define the smallest product worth charging for, and lock the scope and price.

02

Clickable prototype

A prototype in week two, so you can test the flow on real people before production code.

03

Production build

Two weeks of production build on a proven stack — Next.js, TypeScript, Node and PostgreSQL.

04

AI features that work

Models such as OpenAI and Claude wired in where they add value, with sensible limits and costs.

05

Auth, billing & teams

Sign-up, payments, teams and usage limits in place from day one, so you can charge from launch.

Process

No quotes theatre. Four steps.

You get an indicative range before discovery and a fixed scope after it. Nothing about the price should be a surprise.

STEP 01

Discovery

A short, fixed-price discovery to define exactly what is being built — so there are no surprises later.

STEP 02

Fixed-scope proposal

A clear proposal broken down by phase, with an indicative range up front. You approve, adjust or stage it.

STEP 03

Build in sprints

We build in short sprints with regular demos, so you see working software early — not a big reveal in month four.

STEP 04

Launch & support

We launch, hand over clean documented code, and support it — with a retained team if you want one.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Ask us directly
How much does MVP development cost?

Our MVP development starts at £9,500 for a focused web MVP with login, billing and your core feature. Larger MVPs with AI features, mobile apps or complex integrations cost more. You get a fixed quote after a one-week discovery, so the price is agreed before the build.

Can you really ship an MVP in four weeks?

Yes, for a focused scope. Four weeks is our average: one week of discovery, one of clickable prototype and two of production build. It works because login, billing, teams and AI plumbing come ready from our AI SaaS Builder.

What should be in an MVP?

Only what proves the core promise to your first paying customers: sign-up, the one workflow that solves their problem, payment and basic admin. Everything else waits until users ask for it. We help you cut the list during discovery.

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Yes. We explain every decision in plain English, give you a working demo each week and leave you with documentation, so you're never dependent on one developer and can brief investors or a future CTO with confidence.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do. The code lives in your repository from day one and the IP transfers to you. That matters for investors, who will ask during due diligence.

Can you build an AI MVP?

Yes. We build MVPs with AI features such as document processing, chat assistants, triage and search, using models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, with cost controls and fallbacks so they behave in production.

What happens after the MVP is live?

Most clients keep us on to iterate from real user feedback, on a monthly retainer or as an embedded pod. Others take the code in-house. Either way, the MVP is built so it can grow rather than be thrown away.
