MVP cost by model

Model Web MVP cost Timeline Notes
Freelancer 80–200M VND 2–4 months Quality & turnover risk
Agency outsourcing 200–500M VND 3–6 months Fixed scope, upfront pay
In-house (2 devs) 120–180M VND/month 3+ months Hard to hire
Tech partner (profit-sharing) 0–50M setup 3–4 months Share profit after revenue

Hidden costs to remember

  • Cloud hosting: 1–5M VND/month (MVP)
  • Domain, SSL, email: ~500k–2M VND/year
  • Payment gateway setup: 0–10M VND
  • Post-launch maintenance: 15–20% of build cost/year

How to reduce cost without sacrificing quality

  1. Scope freeze — Must-have ≤ 5 core features
  2. Proven stack — Next.js + PostgreSQL + Vercel
  3. UI kit — shadcn/Tailwind instead of custom design
  4. Profit-sharing — preserve cash runway
  5. Validate early — test before scaling
