MVP DEVELOPMENT
Flutter MVP development.
Shipped in 2–8 weeks.
Production-ready iOS and Android apps from a single Flutter codebase. Fixed price ($5k–$12k), fixed scope, weekly demo videos, App Store + Google Play submission included.
Who this is for
- ▸Founders validating an idea who need a real, production-quality app — not a prototype.
- ▸Pre-seed and seed startups with a fixed budget who need predictable delivery.
- ▸Operators in non-tech industries who want a mobile front-end for an existing business.
And who it's not for: if you just need a landing page, a no-code tool, or a quick prototype for a pitch deck, an agency build is overkill — we'll tell you that on the scoping call and point you at cheaper options. About a third of the founders we talk to hear exactly that.
What's included
Pricing
Fixed price, paid in milestones. No hourly surprises.
- • $5k — Lean MVP, single platform, 3–5 core features, 2–3 weeks.
- • $8k — Standard MVP, iOS + Android, auth, backend, push, 4–6 weeks.
- • $12k — Full MVP, complex integrations, custom backend, 6–8 weeks.
Payments are split across milestones — typically a deposit to start, a payment at design approval, and the balance at delivery — so you're never paying for work you haven't seen. The price we agree on the scoping call is the price you pay; if scope grows mid-project, we re-quote the addition before building it.
Process
- Week 0 — Discovery. Free 30-minute call. We scope the MVP, agree on features, and lock the price.
- Week 1 — Design. Figma wireframes and high-fidelity screens for every flow.
- Weeks 2–6 — Build. Daily standups, daily git pushes, weekly demo videos.
- Final week — QA + submission. Real device testing, App Store + Google Play submission, source-code handover.
- Post-launch. 30 days of bug fixes included. Continued development at $45/hr.
Throughout the build you get daily standup notes in Slack, real-time Jira access, and QA reports every two days — the full system is documented on the how we work page.
What "production-ready" means here
Plenty of agencies will sell you a demo that survives an investor meeting and dies on real users. Our MVPs ship with the unglamorous parts done: crash reporting and analytics wired in, authentication that handles password resets and deleted accounts, offline and poor-network behavior, push notifications that respect platform rules, and store listings that pass Apple and Google review the first time in most cases — and when a reviewer pushes back, handling that feedback is on us, not you.
The result is an app you can put in front of paying customers on day one, built on a codebase a future in-house team can extend rather than rewrite. That standard comes from shipping 30+ production apps, including Toyota Connect Middle East (100K+ users) and Amino Move (900K+ users).
Why Flutter for an MVP
An MVP exists to test a market, which means speed and budget matter more than squeezing out the last few percent of platform-specific polish. Flutter ships to iOS and Android from a single codebase, so you pay for one build instead of two and every feature lands on both platforms simultaneously. Performance is near-native, the ecosystem is mature — Google, BMW, and Toyota ship Flutter apps in production — and the codebase remains a solid foundation to scale on after validation, not a throwaway prototype.
That said, Flutter isn't a religion for us. If your app genuinely needs deep native capabilities — heavy AR, ultra-low-latency audio, tight watchOS integration — we'll say so on the scoping call and recommend native Swift or Kotlin instead. We've written an honest comparison in Flutter vs React Native.
Common questions
What if the scope changes mid-project?
The agreed feature list locks the price. If the build takes longer than we estimated, that's our cost. New features you add mid-project are scoped as a separate, clearly priced milestone so the original agreement stays intact.
Who owns the code?
You do, from day one. Code is pushed daily to a repository you control, and IP transfer is part of every engagement — no licensing fees, no lock-in.
What happens after the 30-day support window?
Keep building with us at $45/hr, scope the next fixed-price milestone, or take the codebase fully in-house. You lose nothing by walking away.
