FAQ

The first step is identifying a specific problem for a clearly defined group of users. Before any development begins, talk to real users to confirm that the problem exists and is worth solving. Without this clarity, even a well-built MVP is likely to miss the mark.

Most MVPs can be completed in 6 to 12 weeks. Simpler builds may take less time, while more technical products or enterprise-level tools may require additional planning and testing.

The cost typically ranges from $15,000 to $80,000. Factors that affect the total include the number of features, tech stack, and chosen platform (web or mobile).

Start by focusing on one clearly defined problem. Use no-code or low-code tools, open-source components, or a lean outsourced team to reduce time and cost. Avoid feature creep and rely on manual processes when needed to simulate functionality. The goal is to test real demand, not to release a polished solution.

Build only the features needed to solve the identified problem. Prioritize clarity and ease of use over polish. Real users should be able to complete the main task without confusion, so you can learn from their experience and improve the product.
