What counts as an MVP versus a full product?

An MVP includes the core value proposition, authentication, billing, and a polished dashboard — enough to onboard paying customers and validate product-market fit.

Can I add more features after the MVP launches?

Yes. Bookuvai projects are built with modular architecture so you can extend functionality in follow-up phases without rewriting existing code.

Are there hidden fees for third-party integrations?

No. Integration work is included in the hour estimates. You only pay the third-party provider (e.g., Stripe) directly at their published rates.
