What drives the cost

  • Number of screens: each additional screen adds design and build time
  • Product type: marketplaces and fintech need more logic than a single-sided tool
  • Features: payments, AI, real-time chat and reporting each add effort
  • Starting point: existing designs reduce cost; rebuilding an existing product adds to it
  • Timeline: a rush schedule costs more; a flexible one costs less

Costs beyond the build

Budget separately for hosting (often free or a few dollars a month at MVP scale), a domain, payment processing fees and AI model usage if your product uses AI. These are paid directly to providers.

How to keep your MVP affordable

  • Scope to one core job for one type of user
  • Bring designs if you have them
  • Choose a flexible timeline if your launch date can move
  • Launch, learn, then add features based on real usage

Frequently asked questions

How much does an MVP cost in Nigeria?

From $230–$400 (about ₦350,000–₦620,000) for a Spark build to $1,190–$2,000 (about ₦1,845,000–₦3,100,000) for Orbit.

Why are agency quotes so different?

Rates, team size and process vary. Fixed-scope, fixed-price studios like GetMVP avoid open-ended hourly billing.

Is a cheaper MVP worse?

Not if the scope is tight. Cost should come from doing less, not from cutting quality.
