Shipkit is an MVP development company that turns a product idea into a launched application without hourly billing or an open-ended agency engagement. We scope the version-one product, design and build it, deploy it to your domain, and hand over the code. SaaS, AI apps, marketplaces, and internal tools — one team, fixed price, weekly demos.
Step 1
Map the idea to one core user outcome and lock the version-one scope
Step 2
Agree fixed price, timeline, milestones, and the technical stack up front
Step 3
Build the product in weekly demos with founder feedback
Step 4
Launch, hand over the codebase, and support the first users
Proof point
Shipkit has shipped MVPs across marketplaces, SaaS products, AI tools, and internal dashboards for founders — including the FindMyCarPart reverse marketplace — as a fixed-price MVP development company with full code ownership on every project.
An MVP development company takes a founder's product idea and builds the first launchable version — the minimum viable product. Shipkit handles scope definition, UX/UI design, full-stack development, authentication, payments, deployment, and code handoff, so a non-technical founder can launch without hiring or managing an in-house engineering team.
US agencies typically bill $150-$250/hour, which puts a full MVP at $40,000-$100,000+ with scope risk. Shipkit works fixed-price from $5,900 for tightly scoped products up to $14,900+ for medium scope, with the total locked before development starts. Use the free MVP cost calculator for a budget range based on your actual scope.
Freelancers are cheapest but carry delivery and continuity risk for a first launch. Traditional agencies offer depth but usually bill hourly with open-ended scope. A fixed-price MVP development company like Shipkit sits in between: agency-level delivery with a locked scope, milestone payments, and a known total — the safest fit for most non-technical founders shipping a first product.
Common projects include SaaS platforms, AI and LLM-powered tools, two-sided marketplaces, customer portals, operations dashboards, and internal tools. If you are unsure which path fits, the scoping call maps your idea to the smallest version-one build that can validate demand.
Yes. Full source code, repository ownership, deployment access, and documentation are handed to you at the end of every Shipkit project. There is no vendor lock-in — you can keep working with Shipkit or move the codebase to another team at any time.
