What is the cost of a MERN stack MVP?

A MERN stack MVP typically costs $25,000 to $60,000 and takes 3 to 5 months with an offshore India team. This covers the core feature set, MongoDB Atlas schema and API, React and Next.js frontend, JWT authentication, basic admin dashboard, Stripe billing if needed, and production deployment on AWS or Vercel with Sentry monitoring. Building the MVP offshore in India brings the range to $15,000 to $40,000. See our MERN MVP development page for the full scoping approach.
