What you get
What’s included in MVP development for startups
Scope to launch
The smallest set of features that tests your idea with real users.
Design
Clickable flows and screens before development starts.
Build
A production-ready web app with sign-up, payments and an admin area.
Analytics
Events and funnels in place so you can see what users do from day one.
Launch
Hosting, domain, email and monitoring set up.
Next version
A plan for version two based on what the first users show you.
Tools we use: Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Vercel.
Choosing
What should you build first?
Start with a clickable prototype when your main question is whether people understand and want the idea. It gives you screens and flows to put in front of users without writing code, so you can change the proposition as you learn. A prototype does not show you how people behave in a working service.
A no-code tool such as Bubble, Glide or Softr can help you test demand quickly. That flexibility becomes harder to maintain when your product needs custom logic, usage grows or you want to move to code later. A coded MVP fits when the value is in custom data, integrations or logic, or when you intend to develop the first version into the longer-term product.
A web app is straightforward to change and does not need a store review. Consider a mobile MVP when the action users repeat depends on the camera, location or frequent notifications. Choose around the action you need to test; each route asks for a different amount of build and change work.
Local
What ADGM and Hub71 businesses need from an MVP
ADGM is an international financial centre and free economic zone. A startup there preparing to raise funds needs a working product and usage data it can show investors. Its first build needs a complete user action, such as submitting a request, receiving an offer and paying, so that the data reflects what people actually do.
ADGM's ecosystem includes global financial and non-financial institutions. A consultancy turning a repeated service into software needs its workflow captured with client logins and payments; a domain expert needs help deciding which parts of their know-how belong in the first release. A small admin area gives the founder a way to approve users and correct records without asking a developer.
Rules
What a UAE MVP needs to handle
Where UAE personal data rules apply to your product, consent and cross-border transfers need attention in the build. We set up a consent step where needed and account for transfers when deciding where personal data will be handled. Agree the data flow before building sign-up, so the screens reflect the information you intend to collect.
UAE businesses can sign up to accept payments through Stripe. If you select it for your MVP, we set up the checkout around the payment flow you agree for the first release.
How it runs
How your MVP project runs with us
We work remotely from India over video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. IST is 1h30m ahead, so decisions and feedback can stay visible on the board between calls and work can keep moving across the time difference.
- 01
Scope
We help you decide what the first version must include. You bring the problem and the action you want users to complete; we agree what goes into the build and what comes next.
- 02
Design
We prepare desktop and mobile page and screen designs. You review and refine them with us before coding starts, giving you a chance to check the proposed flow.
- 03
Build
While development runs, you line up the first users who have agreed to try the product and give honest feedback. That gives you people to observe when the app is ready.
- 04
Launch
We set up hosting, the domain, email and monitoring. You can then bring the people you have lined up into the working product.
- 05
Learn
Review analytics alongside short user interviews. The data shows where people stop; their explanations help shape the plan for the next version.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These details help you test an idea with real users before committing savings or seeking funding.
- A sentence describing the problem, who has it and evidence they care.
- The alternatives people use today, including spreadsheets or manual workarounds, and where they fall short.
- The result that would prove the idea, such as repeat use or paid conversions.
- Names of people ready to try it and a plan for reaching more.
- A way to observe strangers' actions, including whether they return or pay.
- Any known sign-up or first-screen problems in an existing version.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and time of an MVP?
The work changes with the flows, payment rules and interface you ask us to build.
User types
Each type needs its own flow. A marketplace with people on both sides needs substantially more work than a single user flow.
Payment rules
A one-off card payment is simpler than subscriptions, split payouts or held funds, which need more rules and testing.
Integrations and AI
Connections to outside systems add scope, as do AI features that need prompt design and testing against real examples.
Design
Standard components keep the interface smaller to build; a custom brand system with animation adds design work.
Questions
Asked by businesses in ADGM (Hub71)
Page updated 5 November 2026
What does an MVP development company do?
It helps turn an idea into a working product that users can try. A production-ready MVP has real sign-up, payments and safely stored data, so you can observe actions rather than only reactions to a prototype. Some work can remain manual at first: you might match orders by hand or email reports while testing demand.
What does MVP development cost?
There is no fixed price. The amount of work depends on how many features you include, how much testing and documentation the core loop needs, and which elements you leave for later. Settings pages, extra roles and complex dashboards all add scope before you have evidence that users need them. Agree the scope with us before requesting a quote.
Should I charge users or run a free beta?
Charge from the start if your main question is whether people will pay for the product. A free beta can bring in more users, but it gives you weaker evidence about willingness to pay. Choose the approach around the evidence you need from the first release, then observe what those users do.
Who owns the MVP after launch?
You own your code, content and domain, with no lock-in. That gives you control of the assets you need to continue developing the product. Discuss the handover with us as part of the scope, so you know which assets belong to you and can plan how you will manage them.
What happens after users try the MVP?
Use the agreed success criteria and the evidence from users to decide whether to continue, change direction or stop. If you continue, the next stage can include repaying shortcuts, adding tests around the core loop and automating manual steps as volume grows. Those decisions follow the evidence from the working product.
