MVP development pricing statistics: what agencies actually publish

Published MVP prices by agency
Lowest published price is the cheapest offer on the page that delivers working software. Package means a named, priced offer. Own estimate means a range the company gives in an FAQ or calculator. Unit rate means a price per hour or per unit with no project total.

Agencies that publish no MVP price
These 30 agencies and studios showed no MVP price on the pages we read. Their sites ask visitors to book a call, request a quote or start a conversation. Some describe a price band in words or quote the market in general, which we did not count as a published price.

What the numbers say
Publishing a price is the minority position. Most agencies in this sample keep it for the sales call, which means a founder comparing options online sees a price from fewer than half of them.
The published prices fall into two groups. Studios that sell a productised package cluster below $10,000 and promise delivery in one to four weeks. Agencies that give an estimate instead start at $15,000 or more and talk in months. They are usually describing different things: a narrow first version in the first group, a broader product in the second.
A low headline price often covers less than an MVP. Three of the cheapest rows are prototypes or single workflows, and the same companies price the tier they call an MVP several times higher. Read what the price covers before comparing two numbers.
Methodology
- Research question
- What do MVP development agencies publish about price, delivery time, pricing model and code ownership on their own websites?
- Sample
- 54 agencies and studios that appear in search results and AI answers for MVP development. 51 could be read. 3 refused automated reading and are excluded: Empat, SoftTeco, 13Labs. This is a convenience sample, not a census of the market.
- Date
- Every page was read on 9 October 2026.
- What was recorded
- Only figures stated on the company's own page. Prices from directories, review sites and third party articles were not used.
- How the statistics were computed
- The package median uses the 10 named packages priced in US dollars. Rows in euros, unit rates, one row with no stated currency and one row whose figure could not be confirmed are shown in the table and left out of the price statistics.
Limitations
- We publish this study and we are in it. HouseofMVPs appears in the table at its own published price.
- Pages were read with an automated reader and a sample was checked by hand. A price loaded by script after the page opens may have been missed.
- For some large agencies only the homepage was read. A dedicated MVP page with a price may exist.
- The lowest published price is not the typical project price. It is the entry point each company chooses to advertise.
- The sample is small. Treat the medians as a description of these companies, not of the industry.
