Software development pricing
What building a product with us costs, from a $2.5K validation build in two weeks to a $200K multi-product MVP. The prices come from our own estimates and delivered projects.
MVP prices by size
Validation build: $2.5K–18K, 2–6 weeks
50–300 hours. A narrow proof of concept on real data, or a build on top of a prototype that already exists, answering one question with working software before anyone pays for the rest.
Lean web MVP: $10K–20K, 4–8 weeks
170–375 hours for one core journey, an admin and notifications.
Standard web or mobile MVP: $35K–105K, 8–16 weeks
550–1,150 hours. A product with two sides, a mobile app, or a prototype that has to become secure before real users touch it.
Multi-product or integration-heavy MVP: $109K–200K, 16 weeks to 5 months
1,300–3,300 hours. Two products on one plan, or one product whose critical path is someone else's API. What each band includes, and MVPs we built in each, are on our MVP development page.
Pricing models: fixed price, monthly team, time and materials
Fixed price
Where the scope genuinely is fixed: discovery, proofs of concept and narrow MVPs. The PRD fixes the V1 goal, what is in and out, the assumptions and the acceptance criteria, so both sides know what the price buys.
Monthly team
For builds that run several months, usually with a cap per phase.
Time and materials
Billed monthly, for clients who want to steer week by week.
Hypercare, priced on its own
Two to four weeks after launch, in every model. It is a line of its own rather than buried in the build, so you can see it: for a sixteen-week mobile MVP it is planned at about 160 hours.
One marketplace, priced four ways in October 2026
$5K: validation build, 2–3 weeks
A restaurant and influencer marketplace, on top of the prototype the founder already had, proving the core loop: campaign, application, selection.
$15K: lean version
The lean version of the same marketplace.
$18K: lean version with payments
The lean version plus payments.
$52K: full MVP
The full MVP. The founder decides how much certainty to buy before paying for the rest.
How you get a number for your product
- Day 1
Estimators are assigned to your brief.
- Day 2
Clarifying questions, or a first version with its assumptions written down.
- Day 3
A rough estimate and a call to go through it. Features are sized in work packages of XS 40, S 80, M 120, L 160 or XL 200 hours, so you can see which line costs what and which can move to V2.
- Then: fixed-price discovery
Product and UX discovery with a clickable prototype in about three weeks, or a technical check of the risky integrations in one to two, before the build price is locked.
