Frequently asked questions

How long does an MVP take to build?

Our average build time is 2 weeks thanks to Verticode’s proprietary development tech. For more complex MVPs, we may extend this to a 3-week sprint - still faster than most development agencies.

How does Verticode build MVPs so quickly?

We are the MVP Studio and pride ourselves on offering the best MVP service to our clients. To deliver this, we've invested heavily in two areas of software development acceleration. Firstly, we've automated our project setup process which means that a task, which often takes development agencies weeks, is completed almost instantly for us. Secondly, we use our proprietary software development toolkit which enables our team to automate the development of standard MVP elements (such as login pages and user profiles).

How much will my MVP cost?

For 2 week MVP sprints, we will guarantee a price of $12,500. If a more complex build is necessary, we would extend to a 3 week sprint, at $25,000. Should this be the case, this would be discussed in the intro call, prior to any monetary commitments.

Do I own the code of my MVP?

Yes, you own 100% of the intellectual property for your MVP. Additionally, we will not disclose details of your project to any 3rd parties, unless specifically instructed to do so by you.

Which countries does Verticode operate in?

Verticode builds MVPs for entrepreneurs all over the world, from Los Angeles to Madrid to Sydney. Verticode is a UK-based company, with the Software Development team based in Sheffield and the Sales functions based in London. We will never outsource or offshore the development of your project.

What's Verticode's process for scoping and building MVPs?

Verticode operates a simple process for your MVP. We start with an Intro Call, this is an opportunity to speak candidly about the business idea and what the aims should be for the MVP. Then, if it seems like a good fit, we'll have a Scoping Call where a member of the development team will join to discuss the technical considerations for the project including potential complexities and opportunities for the MVP. If you're keen to proceed, we'll provide you with a Scoping Document, Guaranteed Quote and Timeline.

What happens after my MVP finishes?

After your MVP is built with Verticode, you have several options:

  1. Hosting and Maintenance: We offer a comprehensive hosting and maintenance package. More details are available on our 'How It Works' page.
  2. Continued Development: Choose from various sprint packages, including cosmetic and iteration sprints, to develop MVP2, MVP3, and beyond. We're always ready to help plan future features and functionalities.
  3. Next Stage Development: If you wish to proceed with a full product after validating your MVP, we can help scope out the next stages of development.
  4. Transition Support: If you choose to continue with another partner, we'll provide your codebase and assist with the transition. You're never locked in with Verticode.
