MVP Development Agency — Ship in 4–6 Weeks from $4,900
SwiftAppLab is an async MVP development agency for founders and startups. We ship production-ready iOS, Android, and web MVPs in 4–6 weeks. Senior developers only. No meetings, no retainer traps, no hand-holding project managers.
What an MVP Actually Needs (and What It Doesn't)
Most founders overbuild their MVP. We've seen teams spend $80,000 and nine months shipping features nobody wanted. A proper MVP is the smallest version of your app that validates the core hypothesis with real users. That usually means 3–5 features, clean UI, basic backend, and the ability to launch on the App Store or Google Play.
Core features
Only the features required to prove the value proposition. Everything else ships after launch.
Weeks to launch
Fast enough to validate before you run out of runway. Slow enough to ship real quality.
Starting price
Fixed-scope single-platform MVP. Native or cross-platform, your choice of stack.
Our MVP Development Process
Discovery & scope
You describe the app in a shared doc. We reply within 24 hours with a proposed feature list, tech stack, and delivery schedule. No 60-minute kickoff call required.
Design in Figma
Week 1: we ship clickable Figma screens for every flow. You approve or request changes async.
Iterative builds
Weeks 2–5: you receive a new TestFlight / APK / web build every 3–5 days. Each build is usable and testable on a real device.
Launch
Week 6: we handle App Store and Google Play submission, final QA, and handoff. You walk away with the codebase, GitHub repo, and deployment access.
What You Get
- Production code — no throwaway prototypes. You own 100% of the repo on GitHub from day one.
- Native or cross-platform — React Native, Flutter, Swift, or Kotlin. We pick the best fit for your roadmap.
- Clean backend — Supabase, Firebase, or a custom Node/Go API. Configured for you to scale past MVP.
- CI/CD pipeline — automated builds and deployments so you can ship updates yourself after handoff.
- App Store submission — we handle screenshots, descriptions, privacy policies, and the submission itself.
- Handoff documentation — a README that an engineer can actually follow, not a 40-page PDF nobody reads.

Why Founders Choose SwiftAppLab for MVPs
No meetings
You do not need weekly standups to build a good MVP. We communicate through a shared task board, Slack, and Loom videos. You spend your time on customers, not calls.
Senior-only team
Every SwiftAppLab engineer has 5+ years of shipping production apps. You never get a junior developer learning on your budget.
Flat, predictable price
$4,900 for a single-platform MVP, delivered in 4 weeks. No hidden fees, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.
Async by design
Timezone-independent. Submit a task at midnight, get a build by morning. Ideal for founders balancing day jobs, time zones, or a young team.
