MVP and iOS App Development for On-Demand Hairstyling Startup

I began working with Heady early on. They created my MVP and built everything from scratch. We launched our iOS app in May. Since then, we’ve done small updates to the app on a semi-regular basis. We’ve gotten some traction, so now we’re ready to build in some new features, which is why we’re increasing our relationship with Heady. From the beginning, we have viewed them as a partner in the long-term vision and strategy for the app. They helped develop the look and feel of the app, so we view them as much more than just someone who can build out the backend. To get the quality of app I wanted, I knew I would have to spend somewhere around $35,000. For the MVP itself, it ended up costing about $44,000. We went from the $38,000 initial quote to about $44,000 after we all decided we really needed to have this one feature. We started working together around October or November 2015. The design and building of our initial product were ultimately approved in late April 2016. We are still working with Heady and we are probably going to bring them on as our tech partner.
