SaaS MVP development for founders who need to launch
We help founders turn an idea into a working product that real users can sign up for and pay for, without spending months building features nobody asked for.
Why this is worth doing properly
An MVP has one job: show whether people want what you are building, as quickly and cheaply as possible. The most common mistake is building too much before anyone has used it. The second is building something so rough that users cannot tell whether the idea is good.
We help you cut the scope to the one workflow that proves the idea, then build that workflow properly: sign-up, the core feature, billing, and the admin tools you need to support your first customers. It is built on a stack that can grow with you, so you are not forced into a rewrite once it works.
Who this is for
- ✓Non-technical founders with a validated problem and a budget
- ✓Founders with a prototype in no-code tools that has hit its limits
- ✓Agencies and consultancies turning a service into a product
- ✓Startups that need a working demo for investors or pilot customers
What's included
Scope workshop
We map the one workflow your MVP must do well, list what can wait, and agree it in writing.
Product design
Simple, clean screens for onboarding and the core feature, designed for the users you are targeting.
Accounts and billing
Sign-up, login, teams where needed, and Stripe subscriptions or one-off payments.
The core feature
Built with Next.js and Node.js on a database designed for your data, with tests on the parts that matter.
Admin and analytics
An admin panel to support customers, plus product analytics so you can see what people actually use.
Launch
Hosting, a custom domain, transactional emails, error monitoring and a launch checklist.
What we will push back on
If a feature does not help you learn whether the product works, we will suggest leaving it for version two. Social logins, complex permissions, native mobile apps and AI features are all useful, but they can usually wait until you have paying users asking for them.
This keeps your first version affordable and gets it in front of users sooner.
After launch
Once real users arrive, we help you read the data, fix what confuses people and build the next features they ask for. You can keep working with us or hand the code to your own team. It is documented and in a repository you own.
What it costs
Every project gets a fixed quote in writing before any work starts. We quote in USD, GBP or EUR.
The starter package (from $3,000) covers logins and roles, database design, one API integration, an admin panel and data visualisation. Most MVPs add billing and onboarding, and are quoted as a fixed price after a free call.

From first call to launch, in four steps

30 minutes to understand your goals, your customers and what is not working today.
2. Fixed quote and plan
A written scope, timeline and fixed price, so you know the full cost before work starts.
3. Build and review
You see progress early and often, and give feedback while it is still cheap to change.
4. Launch and support
We test, launch, check tracking and stay on hand during the post-launch window.
SaaS MVP Development: answered
Our Custom Web App package starts at $3,000. Most SaaS MVPs with billing and onboarding cost more, depending on the core workflow. After a free call we give you a fixed quote for an agreed scope, so the price does not creep.
Most MVPs take 4 to 10 weeks from agreed scope to launch. A tighter scope launches sooner.
Usually Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL, with Stripe for billing and Vercel for hosting. It is a common, well-supported stack that any good developer can pick up later.
Yes. We have integrated AI models, for example Google Gemini in MeloForge. We recommend adding AI when it is central to the value of the product, not as decoration.
You do. Code, accounts and data are in your name from day one.
No. We work on fixed quotes, which keeps the relationship simple and leaves your cap table to you.
