We catch MVP slip-ups before they catch you

That untested market assumption you glossed over? It could be detrimental to your product’s future. Tech implementation to product strategy, our MVP app development company leaves no stone unturned in setting up your MVP for success.

Market ignorance vs Market viability

Chances are, the true reality of market demands and customer’s needs runs counter to your assumptions. Our software development company aids your team in qualitative and quantitative market research to make sure your idea has legs and can find paying customers in an addressable market.

Stakeholder misalignment vs Stakeholder accord

You are fluent in business, but can you translate your product vision into technical action items? Our dedicated business analysts and project managers make sure nothing is lost in translation, clearly communicating your expectations to the development team and making sure all sides are bonded around the same deliverables.

Premature product vs Balanced product

Launch too soon, and you risk having your product haunted by performance issues, vulnerabilities, and a flood of support requests. Launch too late, and that competitive edge is gone. Thanks to our proven delivery framework, your product can reach the right state of ‘ready’ at the optimal moment, ensuring maximum quality and market penetration.

Problem-solution ambiguity vs Problem-solution fit

Without a working definition of your problem statement, it’s near-impossible to deliver a solution that connects with your early customers and makes them adopt your product for good. Our team empowers you to solidify your problem-solution fit through user research, prototyping, user testing, and other techniques.

Feature creep vs Lean development

Without a prioritized set of high-value features, it doesn’t take much to create a bloated product laden with unproven functionalities, in hopes something will stick. Consider this: at *instinctools, we follow a data-driven MVP development process, selecting ROI-rich features your customers will love and need for sure. Your development budget is in safe hands.

What our clients say

Bonnet
Patrick Reich
Co-Founder & CEO

The expectations for the quality of the initial product were very high. I think *instinctools did a great job ensuring those expectations are met. We met the developers we were going to be working with and it quickly became apparent that they are very qualified and were able to deliver the vision that we had from our side for the product. They clearly told us what they were going to do, and if there were questions or problems along the way, they clarified them really quickly thanks to transparent communication.

Dimitri Popolov
Research Data and Systems Manager

We had a tight delivery deadline and *instinctools has been able to find another developer and assign him to our project from one day to another. And we’ve been able to successfully deliver this project. When the partner is good, things are just getting done. And that was the case with *instinctools.

The quality has been good. It’s been on the expected level: things come on time, we have a good visibility on the things that *instinctools developers are doing and performing for us, communication is good.

Deif
Jeanine Shepstone
Senior Technical Writer

Instinctools is good at understanding the technical issues – once an issue is outlined, they do not need repeated explanation. They also do not simply accept a proposed solution, but they think about it and propose a better solution. I was really impressed by the custom interface they built for us – we outlined the requirements, and they implemented them in a user-friendly way that makes the interface a pleasure to use.

Sebastian Belle
VP of Engineering

Instinctools does deliver on time and budget. The company proactively asks how they can support our efforts and provide ideas how to help us with very good candidates with expertise that either we requested or that instinctools identified to be missing.

Our deliverables, your clear path to product success

As your USA-located MVP development company, we put our backs into implementing your idea, making sure it’s thoroughly documented and built upon the foundation of clean code and scalable architecture.

UI/UX design

Coherent and tested source code

A botched MVP might get by at first until you realize it can’t scale because of technical debt or starts melting down under a load. Our MVP app development team puts clean, easily maintainable, and documented source code to your MVP’s core — so you can reuse it down the road.

Solution architecture

Our solution architects jot down every single decision about how the system is put together, providing context to each element. Your MVP’s architecture is designed with scalability, maintainability, and security in mind — everything to make sure your product doesn’t get bogged down with any kind of issues.

FAQ

What makes a successful MVP, and how can I avoid common pitfalls?

A successful MVP is one that has proved its purchase-value combination by solving the problem of real users with minimum functionality and validating that customers are willing to pay for it. It’s not full-blown market success yet, but a crucial step toward it. The majority of common MVP pitfalls stem from either insufficient data about the target market or from poor project management practices.

Either way, an experienced MVP development company can mitigate these risks by conducting thorough market research, fail-proofing your product idea with real user data, and getting your development project on track with agile methodologies.

How do you ensure my MVP aligns with market needs and user expectations?

We collect early customer feedback during the discovery phase to see how your idea and potential UI/UX design stack up against real user needs. The early validation is then followed by iterative testing and refinement throughout the development process, making sure that every feature is corroborated by real-world user data.

What’s the difference between an MVP and a prototype, and which one do I need?

A UI prototype is developed to communicate the vision of the full product. It’s not meant to be used by early adopters and usually never leaves the internal development unless it’s user testing during the discovery phase. An MVP, on the other hand, is an early product version developed for use by real customers, out in the open. An MVP often draws upon the prototype as a UI foundation but goes beyond the mere visual representation, featuring core functionality.

How much does it cost to develop an MVP?

The cost of MVP app development services differs based on the project’s complexity, the target platforms, the need for integrations, the tech stack, and other factors. On average, MVP development can range from $20,000 to over $350,000+.

How long does it take to build an MVP?

It takes around 2 - 4 months for a simple MVP, while more complex projects require 4 to 6 months.

Can my MVP evolve into a full scale product without starting from scratch?

With clean code, an easily scalable architecture, and documented features, our MVP development company builds your MVP to last and to power the next product versions. This approach minimizes technical debt, allowing you to iterate faster and smoothly transition your MVP into a full-scale product later on.

How do you handle pivots if we need to change direction mid-development?

Our proactive collaboration practices and data-driven approach prevent pivots in the first place. If, for some reason, your team decides to pivot, we repurpose as much of the old product as we can in the new direction. We also try to bring your development costs as much as possible and accelerate the development time by using secure third-party SDKs and pre-built architectures.

Where can I build an MVP?

You can develop an MVP in-house or hire a specialized MVP development company to get it developed. In-house development offers a greater level of control, although it can be quite time-consuming and expensive due to long hiring cycles and increasing tech talent costs. Plus, the overhead of in-house development makes it a bad fit for emerging companies that need to rapidly iterate on a dime. By outsourcing MVP development to a third-party tech company, businesses can pick the brains of top talent at lower costs and get their product developed faster thanks to a diverse pool of specialized skills and existing infrastructure.
