How Much Does an MVP Cost?
At hightab an MVP costs from $1,000 and takes 6 weeks to reach its first users. A full product with an admin panel, payments and App Store and Google Play releases takes 3–5 months. We give the exact price after a call and a review of the project, usually within 2–3 days; the MVP price is fixed before work starts.

Questions
Why is an MVP cheaper than a full product?
The first version only includes the features the idea cannot be tested without. Everything else goes into the roadmap and the next cycles.
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for an MVP the price is fixed in the estimate before work starts.
How much does support after launch cost?
For the first month, fixes for our own bugs are free. After that, monthly support with a fixed number of hours; we price it per project.
Can we start with an audit if the product already exists?
Yes. We look at the code, the infrastructure and the metrics and show you what to fix first. The audit can be bought on its own.
Who owns the code?
You do, from day one: the repository and accounts are registered to your company.
