MVP Development

MVP Development Company for Startups

We build the smallest version of your product that can win real users — then we keep building once the market says yes.

What does urMvp do?

urMvp is an MVP development company that designs, builds and launches minimum viable products for startups. We take a founder from idea or Figma prototype to a live, production-ready web app, mobile app or SaaS MVP in 14 to 30 business days, working on a monthly subscription instead of a large upfront agency fee. Every product is custom-built — no templates, no page builders.

What is MVP development?

MVP development is the process of building the smallest usable version of a product that still delivers real value to a real user. The point is not to ship something unfinished. The point is to ship something deliberately narrow — one core workflow, done properly — so you can put it in front of the market and learn whether anyone actually wants it.

A good MVP is not a demo and it is not a prototype. It runs in production, it handles real accounts and real data, and it can take payment if the business model calls for it. What makes it "minimum" is scope, not quality.

MVP vs prototype vs full product

These three words get used interchangeably and they mean very different things. The difference matters because it changes what you should pay for and how long you should wait.

Why startups build an MVP first

Almost every startup that skips the MVP stage pays for it later — usually in months of build time spent on features nobody opens.

  • You find out whether the problem is real before you spend a year solving it.
  • You get something concrete to show investors, design partners and first customers.
  • You learn what users actually do, which is reliably different from what they say in interviews.
  • You keep the cost of being wrong low, which is the only cost that matters early on.
  • You give yourself a working codebase to build the real product on, rather than a pile of mockups.

Our MVP development services

Most founders come to us with one of these four starting points. All of them end in the same place: a live product with real users.

Web MVP development

A production web application — accounts, dashboard, core workflow, billing if you need it. Built custom in modern JavaScript, deployed and monitored.

Mobile MVP development

iOS and Android applications built to production standard, taken through store review and published. Ideal when the core interaction only makes sense on a phone.

SaaS MVP development

Multi-tenant SaaS with authentication, roles, subscription billing and an admin view. The shape most B2B startups need before their first paying account.

Prototype and Figma to MVP

You already have the design. We turn a Figma file or clickable prototype into a working product without redrawing the whole thing.

Our MVP development process

Idea → Prototype → Development → Testing → Launch. Four phases, defined milestones, and no surprises about what happens next.

  1. Strategy & brand foundation

    A focused kickoff to understand your business, your users and what the MVP actually has to prove. We agree the visual direction, the technical requirements and — most importantly — what is out of scope. You leave this phase with a roadmap, not a vague quote.

  2. Creative direction & design proposal

    We turn the strategy into a concrete design: layout structure, visual direction and the user journey end to end. You review and refine until the direction is approved. Nothing goes into development on a maybe.

  3. Development & launch

    Once the design is signed off we build — with performance, responsiveness and long-term scalability treated as requirements rather than nice-to-haves. Every feature is tested before deployment, then the product goes live.

  4. Ongoing support & evolution

    Launch is the start. Through your subscription we handle updates, refinements and new features as the product finds its market. You are not handed a zip file and left alone.

Technologies we build with

We pick boring, well-supported technology on purpose. An MVP that nobody else can maintain is not an asset.

  • Front end — React and Next.js, server-rendered where it helps performance and search visibility.
  • Mobile — cross-platform builds for iOS and Android from a single codebase where the product allows it.
  • Back end — Node.js services with a relational database, structured for multi-tenancy from day one on SaaS builds.
  • Auth, payments and infrastructure — established providers rather than anything hand-rolled, so security is not an experiment.
  • Analytics — event tracking wired in at launch, because an MVP with no measurement cannot teach you anything.

Industries we work with

We are generalists by design — the MVP problem is similar across sectors — but we have shipped products in these areas.

  • Fintech and payments, including cashless tipping and transaction flows.
  • Marketplaces and booking platforms, including workspace and venue booking.
  • Events and hospitality, including QR-based ordering and event photo sharing.
  • B2B SaaS and internal tooling, including dashboards and role-based admin systems.
  • Food delivery and on-demand mobile applications.

MVP development cost

urMvp works on a monthly subscription rather than a large upfront project fee. An MVP web application starts at €499/month, an MVP mobile app at €499/month, and a combined mobile plus web MVP at €799/month. A single-page website starts at €49/month and a three-page website at €99/month. Plans run on a minimum 12-month term.

Add-ons are priced separately so you only pay for what your product actually needs: user authentication and roles (+€99/month), payment gateway integration (+€149/month), custom API and webhooks (+€199/month), admin dashboard and analytics (+€250/month), SEO performance suite (+€149/month), CRM integration (+€30/month), brand identity starter kit (+€20/month) and content writing (+€20/month).

The subscription covers design, development, hosting, SSL, monthly performance updates and support — so the running cost of the product is inside the same number as the build.

MVP development timeline

Most MVPs go live in 14 to 30 business days from the point where we have your content and feedback. Simpler websites can be live in 7 to 14 business days. Products with heavier custom requirements — complex integrations, unusual compliance needs, large data models — can take up to about four weeks.

The single biggest variable is not our build speed. It is how quickly decisions and content come back from your side. Founders who block out time for reviews in the first two weeks consistently launch faster.

Why startups choose urMvp

What we actually offer, stated plainly.

  • 100% custom-built. No templates, no page builders, no themes with your logo dropped in.
  • A fixed, published price you can see before you talk to us — not "contact us for a quote".
  • A structured process with defined milestones, so you always know what phase you are in.
  • Premium execution without traditional agency overhead, spread over a monthly plan instead of a large upfront cost.
  • Ongoing support after launch, including updates and new sections as the product grows.
  • Full ownership on the table — at the end of the 12-month plan you can continue month-to-month, upgrade, or have the codebase transferred to you.

Frequently asked questions

An MVP (minimum viable product) is the smallest usable version of a product that still delivers real value to a real user. It runs in production with real accounts and real data — what makes it "minimum" is narrow scope, not low quality.

An MVP development company takes a startup idea and turns it into a launched, working product. That covers scoping what to build and what to leave out, product design, development, testing, deployment and usually ongoing support after launch.

An MVP web application starts at €499/month and a combined mobile plus web MVP at €799/month, on a minimum 12-month plan. Add-ons such as authentication (+€99/month) and payment gateway integration (+€149/month) are priced separately, so you only pay for what your product needs.

Most MVPs launch within 14 to 30 business days of us receiving your content and feedback. Simpler websites go live in 7 to 14 business days, and products with complex custom features can take up to about four weeks.

A prototype demonstrates an idea — it is usually clickable screens with no real data behind them. An MVP is a working product in production: real users, real accounts, real data, and payment if the business model needs it.

Freelancers can be the right call if you have strong technical leadership in-house and a very narrow build. An agency makes more sense when you need design, development, testing and launch handled as one process, and when you want continuity after launch rather than re-hiring for every change.

Yes. At the end of the 12-month plan you can continue month-to-month at the same rate, upgrade to a higher tier, or have full ownership of the codebase transferred to you.

Typically your brand assets (logo and colours), any existing content or copy, and answers to a short onboarding questionnaire. We guide you through the rest.
