SaaS MVPs need a tight activation path, enough product depth to make users come back, and instrumentation that shows whether the first workflow is working.
The first version should prove that a specific user can sign up, complete the core job, and see enough value to return.
The biggest risk is building a mature SaaS platform before there is proof that users care about the main workflow.
We would prioritize the activation path, core workflow, and measurement plan before polishing secondary features.
A SaaS MVP with onboarding, one core workflow, and activation analytics starts at €7,000 and typically ships in 4–8 weeks. Billing, team accounts, and reporting are usually phase two — priced when validation says they matter.
We scope around the activation path first: what makes a new user reach value in the first session. Architecture choices keep the path open for teams, billing, and roles later without rebuilding.
Practical answers
MVP development starts at €7,000 for two core product features, with login, security, architecture, deployment, and 30 days of post-launch support included. UI/UX design and branding adds €2,000, and products with three or more features get a custom quote.
You do, from day one. The repository, cloud accounts, app store listings, and analytics all live under your ownership — there is no lock-in if you later hire in-house or switch teams.
Every build includes a 30-day post-launch window: we monitor errors and analytics, fix issues, and turn the first real usage into a prioritized iteration roadmap before handing over or continuing.
Not always. If payment is part of the validation risk, include it. If the bigger risk is whether users complete the workflow, validate that first.
Track signup completion, activation, key workflow completion, return usage, and the moments where users abandon the product.
