Cars get crash tested before real people drive them. Your digital product deserves the same. Prototyping lets you find what breaks before your users do and when fixing it is still cheap. Prototyping is when ideas meet reality and changing direction is still cheap.
Anything you’re uncertain about. Prototype the whole product or just the risky parts. You decide the scope.
Test the entire concept from end to end.
Validate one critical user journey.
Test if a specific feature solves the problem.
Validate third-party connections before committing.
Prove difficult UI patterns work before building.
Test calculations and logic that make or break your product.
Prototyping tests how your solution works, not if the market wants it.
You need customer interviews, landing page tests, or an actual MVP launch with real users and real revenue.
Building the wrong thing is expensive. Prototyping catches mistakes early when fixing them is still cheap.
Test your idea for a fraction of full development cost
Surface problems early, not mid-development
See it working, know what's essential
Stakeholders respond to working software, not pitch decks
We follow a clear path: Idea → Prototype → Product.
Prototyping happens in three steps: we define what we’re building (Spec-Driven Development), build it fast with AI assistance, then you test it and decide next steps. The result is working software you can validate with real users before committing to full production.
We listen. You tell us about your business, goals, users, constraints, and what you're trying to build. We surface mismatches early.

Not every project needs a prototype. Here’s when it makes sense and when to skip it.
After reviewing your idea, we’ll tell you whether prototyping makes sense or if you should skip straight to development.
Pricing depends on complexity. All tiers include specification + working prototype.

Common questions about prototyping, validation, and what happens after.
Prototyping tests how your solution works, not if the market wants it.
What prototyping validates:
What prototyping does NOT validate:
For market validation, you need customer interviews, landing page tests, or an MVP launch with real users paying real money. Prototyping validates the solution, not the market.
A prototype is a focused proof of concept built to validate your idea. It includes core functionality and key user flows but intentionally skips security, scalability, and polish you’d need for production.
An MVP (minimum viable product) is software ready for production that you can launch to real users. It’s more polished, secure, and scalable, but also more expensive and takes longer to build.
We build prototypes first to validate ideas before investing in full MVP development.
The prototype doesn’t get thrown away. It gets reviewed and enhanced.
What transfers: Core logic, user flows, functional architecture, validated scope.
What changes for production: Security hardening, scalability optimization, UI polish, performance tuning.
Converting a prototype to production typically costs about 2x the prototype cost. If you spent €5,000 on a prototype, expect around €10,000 to turn it into software ready for production.
Simple webapps: 3-5 days Complex webapps: 2-3 weeks Mobile apps: 3-4 weeks
Timeline depends on complexity. Simple web apps with no database or complex APIs can be built in days. Complex apps with databases, business logic, and integrations take longer.
Yes. That’s the point.
Prototypes are working software you can test with real users to get meaningful feedback. You’ll see how users interact with your idea, whether the workflow makes sense, and what needs adjustment before moving to production.
That’s exactly why you build a prototype.
You saved €30,000-€100,000 by learning early that the idea needs adjustment or shouldn’t move forward. You can either pivot the idea and prototype again with changes, or kill it and redirect resources to something more viable.
Either way, you avoided a costly mistake.
After an initial conversation, we’ll recommend the tier that makes sense for your project.
Partial Prototypes (€500) work when you’re uncertain about a specific workflow or feature, not the entire product. Perfect for testing one critical piece.
Simple Webapp (€1,500) fits straightforward applications without databases or complex integrations. Think landing pages, calculators, or basic interactive tools.
Complex Webapp (€3,000) handles apps with databases, user management, API integrations, and multi-step business logic. Most SaaS, booking systems, and e-commerce flows fall here.
Mobile Apps (€5,000) cover iOS, Android, or cross-platform prototypes with mobile-specific patterns and considerations.
