MVP development company,
live in 6–8 weeks.

A typical MVP takes 6–8 weeks of build after a two-week discovery sprint — roughly two to three months from first call to launch. Products with regulated data, several user roles or heavy integrations take longer, and discovery tells you how much longer before you commit.

A prototype is a clickable model that tests whether people understand and want the idea. A proof of concept tests whether a piece of technology can do the job. An MVP (minimum viable product) is the smallest real product users can sign up to, use and pay for — it runs in production and becomes version one of your product.

It should not. We build MVPs production-grade — real authentication, a proper database, automated tests, CI/CD and hosting you own — so the code that validates the idea is the code you grow. What changes as you scale is infrastructure and new features, not a rewrite of the foundations.

Sometimes, yes. Low-code is a good fit for internal tools and for testing demand quickly when the product logic is simple. It becomes expensive when you need custom logic, integrations, performance or ownership of the code. We compare the two honestly in our guide to low-code MVP development, and we will tell you in discovery if low-code is the cheaper route.

Yes. AI features — an LLM assistant, search over your documents, classification or an agent workflow — are built into the MVP with evaluation, cost limits and data-protection controls from the first release. See AI and ML development for how we approach models and data.

You do. The code is committed to your repository as it is written, and full ownership of source code, designs and IP transfers to you on payment. We sign an NDA on day one, before you share the idea.

Yes. We start with a code and architecture review, tell you plainly what can be kept, and fix what blocks launch or growth first. Sometimes the right answer is to keep most of it; occasionally it is to rebuild one part — you get the reasoning in writing either way.

Look for published prices rather than a quote you have to chase, a team that shows you working software before you pay, an in-house team rather than resold freelancers, production-grade code that you own, and products that actually went live. At Magora you get a free working prototype in 5–10 working days, an NDA on day one and full IP transfer, so you can judge the team on its work. See the products we have shipped on our London software house page.

Usually sign-up and login, the one core workflow your idea depends on, payments if the business model needs them, a simple admin panel for your team, and the analytics to measure whether the idea works. Everything else waits for the second release. You can price a feature list in the app cost calculator.

Yes, most of our MVP clients are. A senior Product Owner turns the idea into a written scope during Discovery, decisions are explained in plain English, and you see working software at the end of every sprint rather than at the end of the project.

Choose a fixed price when the scope is defined and has an end; choose time and materials when the brief will change or the work runs for months. At Magora a fixed-price quote comes after a Discovery sprint (2 weeks, from £3,000). Time and materials and dedicated teams are billed at a day rate per engineer, from £49 an hour, monthly rolling with a four-week minimum.
