MVP cost guide

How Much Does It Cost to Build an MVP?

MVP cost depends on the first release you need: its workflows, platforms, backend and integrations. GrekTech's current public packages provide starting points and typical ranges, rather than a guaranteed quote.

Can you build an MVP for $5,000?

The current MVP Starter package is from $5,000. It is designed around one essential workflow, a focused interface and a launch-ready foundation. That starting price does not imply every app idea fits the package; backend requirements, integrations and platform choices affect final pricing.

What changes the cost?

More workflows require more design, engineering and testing. Authentication, roles and permissions, payments, subscriptions, third-party integrations, AI and admin tools introduce additional behavior to specify and verify. Data-model complexity, multiple platforms and deployment requirements also affect the release.

What can fit below $15,000?

The public Startup MVP range is $8,000–15,000, while MVP Starter starts at a lower investment. A focused scope may fit these levels; complex workflows, custom logic and deeper integrations may require Advanced MVP or a different scope. Request an estimate before treating a range as your project budget.

Compare scope before comparing quotes

List the must-have user journey, platforms, account types, payment behavior and integrations. Decide which tools are needed for launch and which can wait. Use the package detail pages to compare deliverables, optional functionality and price factors, then share your priorities for an estimate.

MVP Starter: approximately 4–7 weeks. Startup MVP: approximately 7–12 weeks. Advanced MVP: approximately 10–18+ weeks. These are approximate package timelines, not guaranteed delivery dates.
