From our real project experience
Less is often more. Start with the simplest version of your idea that provides value; complexity can wait until you are sure you are on the right path.
PoC vs. Prototype vs. MVP — Which One Do You Need?
To determine whether you need a Proof of Concept (PoC), a Prototype, or a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), here are the key factors to consider:
Proof of Concept (PoC)
Primary Need
- You are testing the feasibility of a specific concept or technology for the first time.
Key Focus
- Technical idea validation is your primary goal, rather than user interaction or market fit.
Feedback & Validation
- Internal validation to ensure the technical feasibility of the idea.
Decision Guidance
- Choose a PoC if your primary challenge is technical feasibility.
Prototype
Primary Need
- You want to explore the design and user experience of your product without fully developing it.
Key Focus
- Feedback on the product’s look, feel, and flow is crucial at this stage, potentially from both internal teams and a limited external audience.
Feedback & Validation
- Design and usability feedback to refine complex interactions or designs.
Decision Guidance
- Choose a Prototype for design and user experience validation.
Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
Primary Need
- You are ready to test your product hypothesis with real users in a live environment.
Key Focus
- Gathering insights on market demand and user behavior with the least effort and cost.
Feedback & Validation
- Market validation to test and refine the product towards market fit based on real user feedback.
Decision Guidance
- Choose an MVP for testing market hypotheses and early user engagement.

Validate Your Business Idea
An MVP allows you to test your product concept with real users, gathering invaluable feedback to refine your idea and ensure it resonates with your target market before committing significant resources.
Faster Time to Market
By focusing on essential features, an MVP is developed and launched much faster than a fully-fledged product, giving you a competitive edge and enabling you to capture early market share.
Cost-effective Development
Building an MVP requires fewer resources than developing a complete product, minimizing initial investment and reducing the risk of launching an untested idea.
Compelling Product Pitch
A functional MVP serves as a powerful tool to showcase your product’s potential to investors, partners, and stakeholders, making your pitch more convincing and increasing your chances of securing funding or support.
User-centric Refinement
Leveraging user feedback from the MVP, you iterate and refine your product to meet the specific needs and preferences of your target audience, ensuring you deliver a solution that truly resonates with them.

What are the benefits of the MVP development approach?
The MVP development approach offers several benefits, including cost efficiency, faster time-to-market, validation of the concept, risk mitigation, and iterative improvement. By focusing on essential features, MVPs enable quicker product launches, validate market demand, and allow for continuous improvement based on user feedback
What is MVP development?
MVP development is the process of creating a minimum viable product, typically through iterative and incremental stages. It involves identifying the core features and functionalities essential for the product’s initial release, developing and launching the MVP to market quickly, gathering feedback from users, and iteratively improving the product based on insights gained.
Which are the 3 elements of MVP?
The three elements of an MVP are:
- Minimum Features: The MVP includes only the essential features required to address the primary problem or need of the target audience.
- Viability: The MVP must be viable in the sense that it provides sufficient value to early adopters, enticing them to use and engage with the product.
- Product: Despite being minimal, the MVP must still be a complete and functional product that users interact with to achieve their desired outcomes.
What is the difference between a prototype and a minimum viable product (MVP)?
A prototype is a preliminary version of a product used to demonstrate its functionality and gather feedback, typically focusing on specific aspects or features. In contrast, an MVP is a fully functional product with the minimum features required to address a specific problem or need of the target audience. While prototypes are often used for testing and validation purposes, MVPs are released to real users to gather feedback and validate market demand.
