Your MVP, production-ready in 6–8 weeks
Production MVP is Unbland's fixed-price service that takes a startup idea to a launched, production-ready product in 6–8 weeks — branding, UI/UX, full-stack engineering, and AI integration in one senior team. It starts at $12,000, larger SaaS builds from around $30,000, and you own everything we ship.

What is MVP development?
MVP development turns a validated idea into a working product that real users can sign up for and pay for — not a throwaway prototype. Unbland's Production MVP covers the whole path in one fixed-price scope: branding, UI/UX design, full-stack engineering, AI integration, testing, and deployment, delivered by a single senior team so nothing falls between disciplines.
How much does it cost to build an MVP?
A Production MVP at Unbland starts at a fixed $12,000, which covers branding, product design, a full-stack build, AI integration, and launch. Scope and price are agreed up front, so there is no hourly billing and no surprise invoices. Larger multi-product SaaS platforms start from around $30,000, and if you already have an AI-built prototype that needs fixing, MVP Rescue starts at $1,500.
- Production MVP — from $12,000 (fixed scope, 6–8 weeks)
- Full-stack SaaS platform — from ~$30,000
- Already shipped an AI-built prototype? MVP Rescue from $1,500
How long does it take to build an MVP?
Most Unbland MVPs ship in 6–8 weeks, and larger builds run 6–10 weeks. The timeline is locked at the start alongside the price: roughly a week of discovery and design, several weeks of full-stack build and AI integration, then testing and deployment. After launch you get a 30-day handover call plus 30 days of included support.
Can you build an AI MVP in 6 weeks?
Yes. AI integration is part of the Production MVP scope, not a separate phase — LLM features, RAG and vector search, agents, or automation are designed in from day one and shipped inside the 6–8 week window. When AI is the core of the product rather than a feature, our AI Systems track (from $8,000 plus a retainer) handles heavier data pipelines, model development, and fine-tuning.
Who builds your startup's MVP?
Unbland is a senior-only studio of six co-founders — spanning product, AI/ML, engineering, QA, brand, and marketing — founded in 2023 and working with clients across 10+ countries including the UK, UAE, and US. There are no junior hand-offs: the people who scope your MVP are the people who design, build, and ship it. On handover you own the source code, Figma files, brand assets, and documentation outright.

Frequently asked questions
- What does an MVP development agency actually do?
- An MVP development agency takes your idea and delivers a launch-ready product — design, engineering, and everything in between — rather than just staffing developers. Unbland runs the whole build as one senior team on a fixed-price scope from $12,000, so you get branding, UI/UX, a full-stack app, and AI integration without managing multiple vendors.

- How long does it take to build an MVP?
- Most MVPs ship in 6–8 weeks, with larger builds running 6–10 weeks. The timeline is locked in at the start alongside the price: about a week for discovery and design, a few weeks of building and AI integration, then testing and launch. A 30-day handover call and 30 days of support follow launch.
- Can you build an AI MVP in 6 weeks?
- Yes. AI features like LLM integration, RAG, agents, and automation are built into the Production MVP scope and ship within the 6–8 week window, not bolted on afterwards. If AI is the core of the product — heavy data pipelines, custom models, or fine-tuning — our AI Systems track from $8,000 plus a retainer handles that depth.
