MVP development cost in Australia
What the starting price includes
A focused MVP from Inu-apps starts from A$15,000 + GST. The figure is the floor for a first version with one core user journey, delivered under a contract with Brij N Co Pty Ltd. It is the price of that scope, and a different product gets its own estimate. More: MVP pricing from A$15,000 .
Inside the starting scope we design the critical screens, build the main flow, and hand over a version you can show to users. Weekly demos stay in the work, and the source code remains yours.
What changes the development budget
Payments, several external systems, extra user roles, and a public store release beyond a simple build are quoted separately. If the idea cannot be tested without them, we say so before work begins.
After a short brief we confirm whether the product fits the starting price or needs a wider plan. The first staged estimate usually comes back within two business days.
Why a focused MVP from us starts at A$15,000
Australian cost guides published in 2026 put a typical agency MVP at around A$25,000–60,000 (Appomate), from about A$30,000 (Rebelled), or A$60,000–150,000 for a fixed-price 8–12-week build (Luminary). We start lower for five reasons:
- Fixed first scope. One core user journey, no heavy integrations. Everything else goes into a separate, later estimate.
- A 3-week first version. Short timelines mean less budget spent before real users try the product.
- A small senior team. You talk directly to the people building your product, with no account-management layer. Our development team works remotely, which keeps our costs lower than a fully local agency.
- Staged payments. You pay by agreed milestone after seeing weekly demos, so you're never paying far ahead of what you've seen.
- You own the code. On full payment the source code and documentation are yours, so you can continue with us or with anyone else.
