Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Do you have an idea for an application that will transform your business? Excellent. Before investing hundreds of thousands of pounds in the full project, consider creating an MVP. This is how companies such as Allegro, Booksy and CD Projekt started their operations.

An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the simplest version of your product that allows you to test key assumptions on real users. Instead of guessing whether your application will work, you can verify it at a fraction of the cost of a full project.

Why you should start with an MVP

The statistics are relentless – most start-ups fail not because of technical problems, but because they build products that nobody needs. MVP allows you to avoid this pitfall.

The average cost of a full application is PLN 150,000-400,000 and a year spent on development. An MVP costs PLN 30,000-80,000 and takes 2-4 months. The difference is huge, and the information you gain is invaluable.

While your competitors spend a year planning the perfect product, you can already be testing your assumptions on the real market. This is an advantage that cannot be overestimated.

How we work on MVP at Mits

Our process has been developed on the basis of several MVP projects for Polish companies. We focus on rapid idea validation with minimal risk.

Discovery and problem analysis

We begin by understanding the problem you present to us. We will not ask what features you want in the application, but whether customers will actually pay for a solution to this problem. We analyse the competition, define the target group, and set success indicators.

Conversion-focused design

We design interfaces that not only look good, but above all convince users to take action. Every element is carefully thought out in terms of the user's journey from initial contact to payment.

Development in short iterations

We work in weekly sprints. Every week, you have the opportunity to see progress and make changes. We only build features that are absolutely essential for the product to work effectively.

Implementation with analytics system

From day one, we collect data on user behaviour. We know how many people register, use key features and, most importantly, pay. Based on this data, after analysis, we guide further development.

Why Polish entrepreneurs choose us over international corporations

Larger companies such as Innowise and Netguru offer similar services, but there are differences that are extremely important in practice.

First and foremost, knowledge of the Polish market. We know how to integrate with Polish payment systems, we understand local regulations and user preferences. This is not obvious or intuitive for companies that serve customers from all over the world.

Communication is the second key aspect. You talk directly to senior developers. There are no intermediaries – managers or account managers. Thanks to our flat structure, we make decisions quickly and implement changes on an ongoing basis.

Our prices are transparent from the outset. We do not force you to ‘contact us for a quote’. You know immediately how much you will pay and what exactly you will receive.

Examples of our MVP projects

Application for the financial sector

The client needed to test an idea for a new microloan service. Instead of building a complete system, we created an MVP that integrates with BIK and Polish banks. The project lasted six weeks, and in the first month after launch, the application handled over a thousand applications.

E-learning platform

A brick-and-mortar language school lost students during pandemic restrictions. We launched the MVP of an online platform with Polish payment methods in four weeks. The result? A 300% increase in enrolments. Added value? Expansion into new cities.

System for agriculture

The farm needed a tool to monitor crops. We combined IoT sensors with a dashboard tailored to Polish conditions. The result is a 25% reduction in crop losses and interest from industry institutions.

How much will an MVP cost in 2025?

Prices vary depending on complexity, but most of our MVP projects range from PLN 30,000 to PLN 80,000. This is significantly less than a full application, and the information you receive is just as valuable.

For comparison, international companies often price similar projects at PLN 100,000-200,000. The difference is due, among other things, to the fact that we do not have corporate costs and expensive offices in city centres.
