What a €299 MVP actually looks like
It is the question we get most, and it is a fair one: at that price, what do you actually receive? Rather than describe it, here are ten complete applications you can click through. Five families of project, ten different mechanics. They are live, they work, and there is nothing to install and no account to create.

A daily specials board that changes with the weekday, eighteen dishes filterable by diet, a four step booking flow on a real calendar, private hire enquiries, rated reviews.

An honest demo shows its limits, otherwise it is worth nothing
Three things you should know before drawing conclusions from these ten pages.
They are in French. The studio is French and so are most of the clients, so the demo copy is French. What you are looking at is the level of finish, the density of features and the care taken with detail, none of which depends on the language. Applications are built in whatever language your users speak, and scoping, the written diagnosis and the handover documentation are all available in English.
Nothing is stored. Everything runs in your browser. Book a table, fill a basket, take the quiz: no data leaves your machine, no account is created, no email is sent. A real project is connected to a real database, and that is precisely the part that costs time to build properly.
These are not client projects. Delivered MVPs belong to the people who commissioned them, and most are not public. Building the demos ourselves means you can test them end to end right now, and that five families of project are covered instead of one particular case.
Ten unrelated products, one shared foundation
These ten demos look like ten businesses with nothing in common. Technically they rest on the same handful of building blocks: accounts and access rights, a database, a relationship between a user and a resource, sometimes a payment, and an interface that holds together on a phone. That foundation is what takes time to build. The subject on top of it does not.
That is the whole reason a complete MVP can be delivered in 72 hours for a flat fee. Not because corners are cut, but because the expensive part is the same every time, and it is already known.
Your MVP live in 72 hours, €299 all inclusive
Describe your idea and we send back a written scope within 24 hours: the screens, what is included, what is not. You only pay once you have approved it, and if the project falls outside the offer you pay nothing at all. Full source code included.
Get my free scopeCommon questions
How many screens are included for €299?
Five to eight, which covers a complete journey: arriving, creating an account, paying if the model calls for it, performing the main action of the product, and finding it again later. Past nine screens the project no longer fits the flat fee, and the free written scope tells you so before any payment.
Is online payment included?
Yes, as a hosted Stripe page for a subscription or a one-off purchase, with the Stripe customer portal for cancellation. Fine-grained billing is not included: plan changes, proration, dunning on failed payments, invoices inside the app. The Stripe account stays in your name, with your legal entity and your bank details.
Can I start from one of these demos?
They exist to show you the level of finish, not to act as templates: your product gets built for your requirement. If a particular screen is close to what you have in mind, mention it, it makes scoping faster.
What if my project is bigger than the offer?
We tell you within 24 hours, in writing, before you have paid anything. Usually with a suggestion for what a first version could contain that does fit, and what should wait for a second round. Saying no to a project that does not fit is cheaper for both of us than delivering it badly.
My project already exists but it is stuck. Same price?
Same price. Taking over a Lovable, Bolt or v0 project that will not ship is the other half of what we do: audit, completion, security, deployment on your own domain, source code handed over. Start with the deployment troubleshooting guide if the blocker is publishing, or with the rescue guide if it is broader than that.
