We design and build the first version of your web or mobile product. It has only the features needed to learn whether people want it, and it’s solid enough to put in front of real users and investors.
MVP development for founders who need answers from real users
An MVP is the smallest version of your idea that people can actually use. We cut the feature list with you until it tests the one thing you most need to know, then design, build and launch it on web, iOS and Android.

Softclaire is development company unlike (many) others. Friendly and flexible, good with deadlines and trustworthy. Experts in multiple fields. We are very happy to work with them as development partner. Very much recommended!
We have been working with Softclaire for almost 2 years now, on our main product - an online gaming website, play-games.com. Being in the web games niche, things change fast so we need to adapt on the go - and we can trust them with this. They are easy to work with, proactive, and manage work flow very well. We value their transparency and their perseverance in every task they undertake.
We approached Softclaire with nothing more than an idea and a few initial mockups for our SaaS product. Their team stepped in guiding us through strategic planning, development and devops. We are still working with them for ongoing maintenance and feature updates. If you're looking for a reliable, long-term technical partner, I highly recommend them.
Within 6 months of our app launch we have gained 750 users. We have had a huge boost in traffic on the platform since launch and have multiple 5 star ratings on the App Store. We have also had comments from other software developers commenting on how brilliant the app is structured.
The team delivered everything on time and provided a mind map to showcase the progress. Overall, they were very flexible and committed to meeting expectations.
We had an idea for a tech startup in the medical niche, but we lacked the expertise to design and develop a product of this scale. Thankfully we found an amazing team that guided us through the process every step of the way.
A few months ago, I contacted them for a custom Perfex CRM module and the e-Invoice module. Their work is of exceptional quality, and I am extremely satisfied with both the quality and the budget. I highly recommend Softclaire to all businesses and investors!
It depends on what goes into the first version. A single-flow mobile app and a marketplace with payments and an admin panel are very different jobs. After a short workshop we give you a fixed price per phase, and if the number is above your budget we can usually suggest what to cut.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
From a few weeks for a very focused first version to a few months when there are payments, several kinds of users or integrations. We agree the timeline together with the scope and show you a working build every two weeks.
What features should an MVP have?
Only what a user needs to do the one thing your product promises: usually sign-up, that main action and a way for you to measure what happens. We list every idea with you, mark each one now or later, and build the first group.
Should I make a prototype before the MVP?
Often, yes. If you’re unsure about the flow or want to show investors something early, a clickable prototype costs far less than a built app and shows problems while they’re still cheap to fix. If the idea is already clear, we can go straight to the build.
Can you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. We use React Native, so one codebase becomes an iOS app and an Android app, plus a web version if you need one. It’s faster and cheaper than two native apps, and it’s enough for most first versions.
Who owns the code and the product?
You do. The code, the designs and the store and hosting accounts are in your name, and we hand over documentation. If you later hire your own developers, or an investor asks for a technical review, they can take over without us.
What happens after the MVP is live?
You see how people use it, and we help you decide what to change. Many founders carry on with us on software development for startups. Others move the work in-house, and we hand over.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, even before we hear the details if you prefer. An idea is worth little until someone builds it, but we treat yours as confidential anyway.
