Use case
From whiteboard to product in market in 6-8 weeks. Real MVP, not a demo.
An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the first version of your product that solves the core problem at the lowest cost. At Productea we have shipped 100+ MVPs since 2020, with an average of 6-8 weeks from kick-off to first real user. 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 built to scale from 0 to 10,000 users with no rewrites.
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.
Week 1: Discovery + scope. We define the core problem, target user, 3-5 critical screens, and success metrics. We cut everything that does not test the key hypothesis.
Weeks 2-3: Design and prototype. Wireframes + pixel-perfect UI in Figma. Clickable prototype validated with 5-10 real users before writing code.
Weeks 4-7: Development. Next.js + Supabase. Continuous deploy. Internal users testing from week 5 onwards.
Week 8: Launch. Landing, analytics (Plausible/PostHog), onboarding for the first batch of users, and monthly iteration plan.
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 webhooks in server actions.
This stack — the same Productea uses internally — scales from 0 to tens of thousands of users without rewrites. Recommended by Vercel, by Supabase in their 2025 MVP guide, and by State of JS 2024.
Market range in Europe for a tech-standard MVP (B2B SaaS, marketplace, mobile-first app) is €25,000-€60,000 per Clutch 2025. Senior freelancers charge €400-€700 per day. An in-house team costs €15,000-€20,000/month in fully-loaded payroll.
Productea ships a full MVP from €6,990 (One Shot) or €4,990/month (Pro, with included iteration). The real saving is not the hourly rate, it is time: we deliver in 6-8 weeks what a traditional team delivers in 4-6 months.
Productea validated process to build a production-ready MVP in 8 weeks.
Define problem, target user, 3-5 critical screens, and success metrics. Cut non-core scope.
Wireframes, Figma UI, clickable prototype validated with 5-10 real users before any code is written.
Next.js + Supabase + Vercel. Continuous deploy. Internal users testing from week 5. Automated tests for critical flows.
Public landing, instrumented analytics, first-user onboarding, and monthly iteration plan based on real data.
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. Market range: €25,000-€60,000 per Clutch 2025.
6-8 weeks at Productea, from kick-off to first real user in production. A traditional team takes 4-6 months for the same scope.
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.
Not if the stack is picked right. Next.js + Supabase scale to tens of thousands of users without architectural changes. You only optimize specific queries and add caching when metrics demand it.
No. If you have not validated, week one is discovery with user interviews and hypothesis validation before any design.
