From idea to MVP, without hiring a dev team.

There are two fixed prices, both plus VAT. The MVP is £10,000, a 2 week development sprint. The Extended MVP is £20,000, a 3 week development sprint. Both end with a week of handover after launch for bug fixes and a smooth rollout. The discovery call settles which one fits, so the price is agreed before any build starts.

The MVP is a 2 week development sprint: one week of development and one of iteration on your feedback, then launch. The Extended MVP adds a second week of development, so it runs for three weeks. Both are followed by a week of handover after launch for bug fixes and a smooth rollout. The sprint starts once the scope is agreed after the discovery call.

A fully built MVP, ready to take to market. The MVP has one week of development by our team and one week of iteration on your feedback; the Extended MVP has two weeks of development and one of iteration. Both finish with a week of handover after launch for bug fixes and a smooth rollout.

MVPs, SaaS products and production web apps, often with AI at their core. Recent launches include ReelEstate, which turns listing photos into property videos, Viewlio, AI analytics for YouTube creators, Until Then, which delivers messages years into the future, and Pretty Metrics, shareable revenue charts. Most are built with TypeScript, Next.js and Postgres, with Stripe for payments.

MVP development is building the smallest version of a product that real customers can use and pay for, so you learn what works before spending more. A Scryptic MVP is production code, not a throwaway prototype: it launches with authentication, payments and analytics in place, and the next version builds on it rather than starting again.

No. Scryptic is based in Brighton and works with founders across the UK. The Friday catch-ups run over video, so where you are makes no difference to the build.

Yes. Apps from AI app builders such as Lovable, Bolt.new, v0 and Replit are real code, so the move is usually about owning and hardening what is there. No-code tools such as Bubble, Adalo and Glide keep the app on their platform, so the move is a planned rebuild that brings your data and users across. Enterprise platforms such as OutSystems are rebuilt app by app. Our free migration guides cover seventeen tools step by step.

Yes. We review existing code, infrastructure and prototypes during discovery. Often the best plan is to build on what you have rather than start again, and the agreed scope says which parts we would keep, fix or replace.

You do. The code lives in your repository and the hosting, database, payments and other accounts are in your name, then handed over at launch. Nothing is locked to us, so any developer can pick it up later.

You get agency-quality software at freelancer speed, with code you own outright. Hiring in-house means a recruitment round before any work starts, agencies tend to be slower and fix the plan up front, freelancers vary in quality, and AI-only tools rarely hold up with real users. With Scryptic you get a launched product after a 2 or 3 week sprint, a fixed price and priorities revisited every week.

With a catch-up every Friday. Each week we go through what shipped, agree priorities for the week ahead and look at what is coming up in the pipeline, so you can change direction early rather than at the end.

With Max, the founder, from the discovery call to launch day. Scryptic is a small Brighton-based studio that takes on a few projects at a time, with one team throughout and no handoffs. Max is a full-stack developer with five years of experience building software for enterprise clients and startups.

It is a free 30 minute call about your idea or product, who it is for and where it is stuck. You get straight advice on scope, stack and which package fits, including what is not worth building yet. If it makes sense to work together, the scope and price are agreed before the sprint starts.
