Ask what they consider 'minimum' in an MVP — good agencies push back on scope to keep you lean. Check if they have experience validating product hypotheses, not just building features. Ask about their post-MVP strategy: can they scale the codebase, or will you need to rebuild?

A true lean MVP costs $25K–$100K. More complex MVPs with multiple user roles or integrations range from $80K–$200K. Avoid agencies quoting under $15K for an MVP — the result usually can't scale.
