Which One Is Right for You?
Choose Webscension if:
Founders who want their MVP done and launched, not slowly built over months of subscription payments.
Choose Subscription Development if:
Post-MVP products needing continuous development, or founders who want ongoing technical partnership.
Our Verdict
Subscription development makes sense after your MVP when you have validated your product and need continuous iteration. For your initial MVP, fixed-price is better: you get a complete product faster, cheaper, and with a guarantee. Don't pay monthly fees while your MVP is being built—get it done in 2 weeks with Webscension, then decide if you need ongoing development.
