How much does MVP development cost in 2026?

$10,000–$50,000 for most startups, with complex AI-enabled builds climbing past $150,000. Orbix Studio's monthly plans at $2,999 or $5,499 bundle design, development, and launch capacity into one retainer.

How long does it take to build an MVP?

A lean MVP ships in four to eight weeks. A moderate build takes three to four months. Scope is the biggest speed factor — cutting features in half typically accelerates delivery by 40%.

What is the difference between a prototype and an MVP?

A prototype is a clickable mockup with no real data and no real users. An MVP is a live product with the smallest feature set needed to solve one real problem. Prototypes validate interfaces; MVPs validate business viability.

Can you build an MVP without code using Webflow or no-code tools?

Yes — and for many SaaS MVPs, we recommend it. Webflow combined with Supabase, Airtable, or Xano delivers products in half the time of custom code when deep authentication or AI workflows aren't required.

What should I include in my MVP and what should I cut?

Include only the features that prove your core hypothesis — usually one core workflow, one payment path, one reason to come back. Everything else — settings pages, dashboards, integrations, custom reports — belongs in v2.

Do you handle both design and development for MVPs?

Yes — one team, one contract, one timeline. Design and development run in parallel from day one, eliminating handoff bugs and reducing review cycles significantly.

What happens after the MVP launches — do you keep building?

Clients remain on the same monthly plan post-launch, shifting from shipping to iteration — fixing onboarding leaks, adding investor-requested features, and rebuilding any components that need improvement based on user behavior.

Do I own the code and IP after the MVP is delivered?

You own everything — code, design files, brand assets, content, and any AI prompts we wrote. Orbix Studio retains no rights to client work and doesn't lock clients into proprietary hosting.

Can you help me validate the idea before we start building?

Yes — and we'd rather do that than build the wrong thing. A two-week validation sprint covers user interviews, competitor mapping, a clickable Figma prototype, and landing-page testing with real traffic.

Why do most startup MVPs fail and how do you prevent that?

MVPs fail because they're too big, too generic, or built before anyone was asked to pay. We prevent failure through ruthless scope control, user research before design begins, and gating the product with a paywall from day one.
