Start with the problem.

An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the first version of your product that solves the core problem at the lowest cost. At Productea we scope the MVP around the problem and the users who will validate it; the timeline is estimated after defining that scope. Our One Shot MVP plan starts at €6,990 and covers discovery, UX/UI design, full-stack development, analytics, and launch. The default stack — Next.js 16 + Supabase + Vercel — is adapted to the data, security and growth requirements of the product.

What an MVP is NOT

An MVP is not a demo, not a clickable Figma prototype, and not a script. It is a product a user can use, pay for (if applicable), and give feedback on. If it cannot do that, it is not an MVP — it is early validation, which has a different process and price.

The most common mistake we see is confusing MVP with "finished product but small". An MVP has to be incomplete, but the part that exists must be production-ready.

From scope to launch

An illustrative plan. Integrations, validation and review cycles determine the final schedule.

Week 1 — Discovery & prioritization
Define problem, target user, 3-5 critical screens, and success metrics. Cut non-core scope.
Weeks 2-3 — Design & validation
Wireframes, Figma UI, clickable prototype validated with 5-10 real users before any code is written.
Weeks 4-7 — Production-ready development
Next.js + Supabase + Vercel. Continuous deploy. Internal users testing from week 5. Automated tests for critical flows.
Week 8 — Launch & measurement
Public landing, instrumented analytics, first-user onboarding, and monthly iteration plan based on real data.

Recommended stack for an MVP that scales

Frontend: Next.js 16 App Router + TypeScript + Tailwind. Server components for performance, client components only where complex interaction lives.

Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL + Auth + Storage + Realtime). Do not build your own auth. Row Level Security (RLS) as first line of data defense.

Deploy: Vercel with preview deployments per PR. Analytics: Plausible or PostHog. Payments if needed: Stripe with server-verified webhooks.

This is the stack Productea uses internally. Architecture, costs and capacity are reviewed against data volume, integrations and expected usage; growth can require optimizations and changes.

How much it costs to build an MVP with an agency

MVP cost depends on scope: user roles, integrations, payments, data migration and security requirements. Compare proposals with the same deliverables and acceptance criteria.

Productea ships a full MVP from €6,990 (One Shot) or €4,990/month (Pro, with included iteration). The timeline is agreed after scoping; integrations and review cycles affect delivery dates.

Frequently asked questions.

Scope, budget and what happens after launch.

How much does it cost to build an MVP?

At Productea, from €6,990 with the One Shot plan for single projects or €4,990/month with the Pro plan that includes post-launch iteration. Final pricing depends on the agreed scope.

How long does an MVP take with an agency?

As a reference, a focused first release can be planned over 6-8 weeks. We confirm the schedule after agreeing on features, integrations and reviews; more complex projects require more time.

What happens after launch?

You can move to the monthly Pro plan for no-lock-in iteration, hire your internal team with our shipped code, or pause until your next round. Code and designs are yours from day one.

Do I need a rewrite when I scale?

We choose the architecture with expected growth in mind. Optimization or restructuring depends on real usage, data and new requirements; we do not promise that it will never need to change.

Do I need a validated idea to start?

No. If you have not validated, week one is discovery with user interviews and hypothesis validation before any design.
