How Much Should You Spend on a SaaS MVP in 2026?

If your idea is still unvalidated, cap your initial MVP spend at $5k–$10k to prove problem-solution fit. Once early demand is validated, allocating $10k to $30k for a robust, scalable v1 makes sense. With flexible models like VNTA's $1,200/mo subscription, you can ship incrementally without blowing your runway.
