What features should an MVP include?
Only features that validate your core value proposition. If users can't complete the primary workflow without it, it's must-have. Everything else is a distraction that delays learning. Most successful MVPs launch with 3–5 core features.
How much does it cost to build an MVP?
A web-based MVP typically costs $30K–$80K. Mobile MVPs run $50K–$120K due to platform-specific development. Cross-platform MVPs using React Native or Flutter fall in between. The biggest cost variable is backend complexity, not UI.
How long should MVP development take?
6–12 weeks is the sweet spot. Under 6 weeks usually means the scope is too thin to validate anything meaningful. Over 12 weeks means you're probably building too much before learning from real users.
