How much does an MVP app cost?

A web MVP starts at ₩3M and an iOS and Android app MVP at ₩7M. The final price is a fixed quote, set once the scope is agreed.

How long does it take?

A web MVP takes 2–4 weeks and an app MVP 4–8 weeks, with a build you can install yourself every week along the way.

Screen design for the app and the web is included. Logo and branding are not.

How is payment split?

30% at the start, 30% midway and 40% at launch. Changes outside the agreed scope are quoted separately.

Who owns the code and the accounts?

You do. The code is handed over, and the store and AWS accounts are in your name from day one.

How do I get a quote?

Email hello@taklabs.dev with a few lines on what you want to build, who it is for and when you need it. The reply is a quote for a defined scope.
