HouseofMVPs vs Netguru
Netguru is one of Europe's best known digital consultancies: Polish, hundreds strong, $50 to $99 per hour, with mature process and end to end product capability trusted by startups and enterprises alike. HouseofMVPs delivers the same classes of product with an AI native model instead of a consultancy model: fixed prices from a $3,999 POC to enterprise scope on custom plans, and delivery risk held by the agency.

When to choose HouseofMVPs
You want European consultancy quality without the six figure entry
The engineering bar is not where the price difference comes from: the AI native fixed scope model removes the hourly meter and the process overhead. $7,499 ships a production MVP that a conventional consultancy prices at ten times that.
Speed is a strategic weapon
A 14 day MVP versus a two quarter engagement is not an incremental difference: it is two extra quarters of market learning, and for AI products two quarters of eval data nobody else has yet.
You want the full lifecycle on outcome pricing
Validate at $3,999, launch at $7,499, scale from $14,999, reach enterprise scope on custom plans, each stage a signed number, never an open meter.
When to choose Netguru
You are buying organizational transformation, not just a product
Netguru's consultancy layer, workshops, research, design systems, process integration with large client organizations, is genuinely strong. When the engagement is as much about the organization as the software, that layer earns its rates.
Procurement requires an established European vendor
For enterprises whose vendor requirements favor a large, long established EU consultancy with familiar contracting, Netguru fits the frame.
Our honest verdict
Netguru is what a premium European consultancy should be: mature process, real design strength, enterprise trust. The honest comparison is about what you need to buy. If it is consultancy, process, workshops, organizational integration, their rates buy real value. If it is a product, built, shipped, owned, then paying $50 to $99 per hour for months buys the same artifact HouseofMVPs signs at a fixed $7,499 and delivers in 14 days, with the lifecycle to enterprise scope priced the same way. Affordable is the delivery model, not a different quality tier.
Frequently asked questions
How much cheaper is HouseofMVPs than Netguru for an MVP?
Roughly 8 to 25 times at typical scopes: a complete HouseofMVPs MVP is $7,499 fixed in 14 days, while consultancy engagements at $50 to $99 per hour over 3 to 6 months commonly land between $60,000 and $200,000. The difference is model economics, AI native delivery and fixed scopes versus billed hours and process layers, not a lower engineering bar.
Is a premium consultancy safer than a fixed price studio?
They de-risk different things. Netguru's process de-risks stakeholder alignment in complex organizations. Fixed price delivery de-risks the two failures founders actually fear: budget blowout and never shipping, because the number is signed first and 50% is due only on delivery. For product delivery risk specifically, the fixed model puts the incentive where it belongs.
Can HouseofMVPs really match consultancy grade engineering?
The proof is public rather than claimed: open source engineering tools with 1K+ GitHub stars used by thousands of developers, live products in production, and engagement terms, written scopes, acceptance criteria, staging by day 5, published openly. Enterprise scope runs on custom plans with the same senior team. Verify first, then book the scoping call.
