UBIKON.ioMVP
MVP Development
Typical engagement: $8k–$40k · 4–10 weeks
What this is
Ubikon takes an idea to a fixed, line-item quote in 48 hours and a shipped MVP in 4–10 weeks, priced from delivery data on 300+ prior builds rather than an hourly guess. The work is scoped tightly on purpose — an MVP proves the core hypothesis, and every feature that doesn't serve that gets explicitly cut, not silently added.
What you get
Concrete deliverables, not a vague promise.
- —A written scope: must-have vs should-have vs later, agreed before any code is written
- —A working, installable/deployable build every week, not a reveal at the end
- —Full IP transfer on work delivered, with private repository handover
- —A feature-cut list explaining what was deliberately left out of v1 and why
- —A cost band for the "later" features, so the roadmap after v1 is priced, not vague
How we build it
Stack and architecture for a typical build.
Chosen per project: Flutter for a mobile-first idea, Next.js for a web-first one, FastAPI or a BaaS on the backend depending on whether the idea needs custom logic from day one — the same decision our Tech Stack Selector tool walks through.
Pricing
Where the number comes from.
The $8k–$40k range above is priced from real delivery data across 300+ completed projects — not a day rate multiplied by a guess. A full itemized breakdown by phase is available on a scoping call, or get a rough one now from the calculator below.

MVP scope vs building the "full" product first
The instinct to build everything at once is usually the most expensive mistake an early product makes.
| Scoped MVP (Ubikon default) | "Full" product first | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to validate the core hypothesis | 4-10 weeks | Months, often 6+ |
| Cost if the hypothesis is wrong | One MVP's worth | The full build's worth |
| Feature bloat risk | Low — explicit cut list | High — everything feels necessary upfront |
| Best fit | Any idea not yet validated with real users | A hypothesis already proven, ready to scale |
Process
4–10 weeks, start to launch.
Scoping call
You describe the idea; we ask the questions that determine what's actually core to it.
Fixed quote, 48 hours
A must/should/later feature list with a price and timeline attached.
Weekly builds
Working software every week — the fastest way to catch a wrong assumption early.
Launch, then decide
Ship the MVP, then use real usage data to decide what from the "later" list actually matters.
Straight answers
What buyers ask about this service
How much does an MVP cost? +
Most MVPs run $8,000–$40,000 across 4-10 weeks. The range depends on platform (web vs mobile vs both), number of core screens, and whether the idea needs a custom backend or can run on a managed service initially.
How do you decide what to cut from the MVP? +
Everything gets tested against one question: does this feature help prove or disprove the core hypothesis? If not, it goes on the explicit "later" list with a rough cost estimate, not silently dropped or silently kept.
What happens after the MVP ships? +
You decide, using real usage data instead of guesses, what from the "later" list is actually worth building next. We offer a monthly iteration plan if you want to keep shipping with the same team, but it is never required.
Can our own MVP scoper tool give me a rough answer before a call? +
Yes — describe your idea in the free MVP Scoper tool and get a first-pass feature scope and cost band back in under a minute, before you talk to anyone.
