Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are these MVP cost estimates?
Our estimates are based on real project data from hundreds of MVP launches and current market rates for senior developers. While actual costs may vary based on specific requirements, our calculator provides 85-90% accuracy for initial budgeting.
Why are senior developer rates used in the calculator?
While junior developers cost less ($25-50/hr), they often take 50-100% longer to complete tasks and may introduce bugs that require expensive fixes. Senior developers ($40-100/hr) deliver faster, higher-quality results, often making them more cost-effective overall.
What's included in agency management fees?
Management fees (typically 20-30%) cover project management, quality assurance, client communication, risk management, and agency overhead. While this increases costs, it often results in better project outcomes and reduced client workload.
