What makes our startup product development affordable
We keep costs low by using senior engineers only, fixed-scope roadmaps, and reusable components.
Every project starts with a Roadmap phase in week 2. We define every feature, database table, and API endpoint before writing code. This eliminates scope creep and enables a fixed price. Our average MVP costs $80K to $150K, not $500K.
We use a library of pre-built modules for auth, billing, notifications, and admin panels. This cuts development time by 30-40% compared to building from scratch. You get a production-ready system that we also maintain post-launch.
Affordable startup product development vs generic dev shops
Not all agencies are built for startups. Here is how we differ.
Generic shops bill by the hour and stretch timelines to maximize revenue. They often assign junior developers to keep costs down for you, but you pay for their learning curve. We take a different approach.
IRPR works on a fixed price with a scope defined in the Roadmap phase. You get senior engineers who have shipped 200+ products. We deploy to production in 8-12 weeks, not 6-12 months.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior engineers learning on your project
- Scope creep without change orders
- No fixed delivery date
- Code ownership unclear
- No compliance knowledge
- Fixed price from the start
- Senior engineers only (8+ years)
- Scope locked after Roadmap phase
- 8-12 week delivery guarantee
- Full code ownership in your repo
- HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS ready
Our product development process for startups
We follow a four-phase process from idea to release.
The process is designed to get a working product in front of users fast. Each phase has a clear deliverable and a defined timeline. You stay in control without micromanaging.
We ship every two weeks in visible increments. You see real screens, test APIs, and give feedback. No black box, no waiting months for a demo.
What you get when you hire IRPR for startup product development
Every project ships with production-grade infrastructure and full ownership.
We do not just write code. We deliver a complete system that is secure, monitored, and ready for users. You own everything from day one, including the code, the IP, and the deployment credentials.
Every project includes automated CI/CD pipelines, error tracking, and performance monitoring. You can continue development on your own or with any team after launch.
- Source code in your GitHub or GitLab repository
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking and alerting
- Cloud infrastructure on AWS (or your provider)
- Automated database backups
- SSL certificate and DNS setup
- User authentication (email, Google, or SSO)
- Admin dashboard with user management
- Stripe billing integration (if needed)
- API documentation via Swagger or Postman
