MVP and SaaS development for startups
MVP development for startups, from an empty repo to a working product with accounts, data and dashboards. I own the front end, the back end and deployment: one developer for the whole product.
Let’s talk from $1,200
That’s how I took the B2B product Jobbro from zero to production in two months, and how, as co-founder and CTO of VibeSEO, I built an AI SaaS and ran it in production. MVP scope is a decision: what to build first, what to defer, what to cut.
01/Scope
What’s included
Custom backend and API
Node and NestJS, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Redis: an API you can keep building on or hand to your own team.
Dashboards and data
Screens where you and your users see the product’s numbers, with the data in a proper schema rather than spreadsheets.
Built to scale
Docker, CI and a clear architecture, so new features land without a rewrite.
02/Pricing
What it costs
from$1,200
SaaS MVP development starts at $1,200. The total depends on screens and roles, integrations and how complex the logic is. You get a fixed quote after the brief; larger projects are billed by milestones.

- Number of screens and user roles
- Integrations: payments, email, external APIs, AI features
- Complexity of business logic and data
- Timeline: a hard deadline costs more
03/How it works
Five steps
You always know what is happening with the project.
Brief
~1 dayWe talk about goals, deadlines and limits in chat, without extra calls. You get a short brief and a fixed quote.
Design
3-7 daysWireframes first, then a clickable prototype that looks like the finished product. Two rounds of changes are included in the price.
Build
1-4 weeksThe code lives in a repo with CI. The staging link updates as I work, so you see progress every week.
Testing
2-5 daysI go through every flow on staging and fix bugs, and you test too. We release when the bug list is empty.
Launch & support
after launchDeploy to production, handover of the code and docs. A month of support is included in the price.
05/FAQ
Common questions
01How long does MVP development take?
Larger web apps usually take 4-8 weeks. Jobbro went from zero to production in two months. The timeline is fixed in the quote together with the scope of version one.
02What does a SaaS MVP cost?
From $1,200. The price grows with screens, roles and integrations. The estimator gives a ballpark; larger projects are billed by milestones.
03What do you need from me?
The idea and the problem the product solves, who the users are and what version one must do. If there’s a design, a spec or half-built code, send that too.
04Can another team continue the code?
Yes. You get the full source code with documentation. No lock-in: any developer can continue it. I can also plug into your team’s repo and workflow.
05What happens after launch?
A month of fixes and tweaks after launch is included in the price. After that it’s hourly, or a small monthly retainer if you want ongoing work. You keep the full source code and the docs.
Have a product idea?
Send the idea, the spec or the half-built thing. I answer with questions first, then a written scope.
