Let’s build your app
MVP APP DEVELOPMENT

Your first version.
Built to prove the idea.

An MVP is the smallest version of your app that still does one real job for one real user. A basic MVP with AppIn500 starts at around £500, built around a single core workflow rather than a long feature list. That’s deliberate. Most app ideas fail not because the idea was wrong, but because the first build tried to do too much before anyone had used it.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Everything You Need To
Validate And Launch

  1. 3–5 screens, focused on one core function

  2. iOS or Android

  3. A simple database, where your app needs one

  4. Clean UI and full source code handover

  5. 1 revision round

  6. 7–14 day target after scope approval

THE RIGHT FIT

Designed For Ambitious Founders
Who Value Momentum.

Founders and small businesses who have an idea they want to see working before they invest in anything bigger. You don’t need a finished business plan or a technical brief, just a clear sense of the one problem your app should solve first.

STANDARD SERVICE TIER

Most MVPs start with our Starter package, from £500. If your idea needs sign-in, a shared iOS and Android codebase, or an API integration from day one, Launch (from £999) is usually the better fit. We’ll tell you honestly which one applies before you pay anything.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you Take a Leap

What actually counts as an MVP?

An MVP is a real, working version of your app that does one thing properly, not a mockup or a set of static screens. It’s small on purpose, not unfinished.

Can my MVP grow into a bigger app later?

Yes. Most projects that start as an MVP come back for a Launch or Custom phase once real users have tested the first version.

Do I need a designer or developer brief before I start?

No. A few sentences about the problem and who it’s for is enough for us to scope your project.

What if my idea is bigger than £500 can cover?

We’ll say so directly. Some ideas need Launch or Custom from the start, and we’d rather tell you that upfront than scope it too tightly.

LET’S MAKE SOMETHING REAL

That app idea? Let’s hear it.

You don’t need a perfect brief. Just tell us what you have in mind — we’ll help you find the right first step.
