Start with the problem.

We start with the problem you want to solve and who will use the product. Then we decide what goes into the first release and estimate the timeline. The One Shot plan starts at €6,990 and includes product scoping, design, development, analytics and launch. We usually work with Next.js, Supabase and Vercel, adapting the technology to the project's needs.

01

What goes into the first release

We build an app your first users can use to solve the main problem. If it needs payments, authentication or integrations to work, we include them in the scope.

We also agree what to leave out. The aim is to test the idea before building every feature the product might eventually need.

02

From scope to launch

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

  1. Week 1: scope and priorities

    We define the problem, users, 3-5 main screens and what we want to learn from the first release.

  2. Weeks 2-3: design and user testing

    We design the screens in Figma and test the prototype with 5-10 users before development.

  3. Weeks 4-7: development

    We build with Next.js and Supabase and deploy changes to Vercel. Internal testing starts in week 5. We automate tests for the main user flows.

  4. Week 8: launch

    We launch the website, set up analytics and help the first users get started. What we learn informs the next round of work.

03

The technology we use

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.

04

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.
