Tapptitude is a Product Studio that partners with funded startups and established brands to build interactive, mobile-first products that people love to use.
We work with our clients as Product Partners, supporting them proactively throughout the journey from idea to launching a product and scaling it up. Startups and brands work with us to define their product, design their prototype, develop their MVP and scale a successful product.
Our process stands out through our early focus on value and close partnerships. We work on each product to identify and create easy acquisition flows, generate value early to retain users, and build a solid infrastructure for scalability.
Our workflows are based on lean principles, rapid prototyping techniques and agile development, making us very fast and flexible in iterating value to users.
Our solutions for startups:
- Product definition
- Rapid prototyping
- MVP development
Our solutions for larger organisations:
- Design sprints
- UX research and persona design
- Evidence-based growth plan

Tapptitude Executive Interview
I’ve been the CEO for the last four years, time in which we got from a small development team of 10 people to a proper product squad of over 50 now.
We typically build the first product for our startups, then accompany them as product partners while they scale, till the moment when it actually makes sense for them to build an internal team. We’ve had collaborations that lasted 3-4 years, some of them up to their exits, and in many cases, we still step in to help our clients’ teams even after they are fully autonomous.
Since 2019, we’ve had a steady focus on some verticals, like health tech and fintech, especially on the UK market.
In the first case, we do a lot of validation scenarios and validation planning, based on which we decide what the testable MVP is. And in building such an MVP, we move pretty fast, with time frames from a few weeks, to 2-3 months.
In the second case, a scalable product may take a lot more, and the approach is based on creating some scalability scenarios, then designing a product architecture that can support that. The choice of the tech stack, coding decisions, and even testing flows can be pretty different in such a context.
But to give you some examples, the typical timelines for the products we’ve built in the last two years were anywhere from 5 to 8 months to deliver something in the stores.
But there are also situations where you cannot really choose one platform over the other, as the users would be split between the two (iOS and Android). In such a case, we either build native apps for both iOS and Android or give a cross-platform solution using React Native.
Now, in some cases, a React Native solution works, but in many, it doesn’t, as it may struggle to give you proper customization in some elements of the product or hinder your scalability plans.
What we typically tell our founders is that if you can afford to build natively, you should do it, especially if your product needs to have top-class interactions, like a B2C app, and be ready to scale-up.
If it is, and such definition has the form of technical specs, architecture documents, user flows, and some form of UX (wireframes, mockups, prototypes), a product team on our side will do a documentation debriefing, then estimate on a module or functionality level the time needed to build, test and release such a product component.
If it isn’t, the flow is quite different, and we move into a process of product definition, where do we product workshops, wireframing, prototyping, etc. This process can take from a few weeks to a couple of months. The deliverables of this process are pretty much the definition assets I mentioned above that would allow a product team to understand what functionality would be built, all the integrations such a product will have, and the major UX logic of the product. Based on those, the product team will estimate the amount of time needed to build each of the product components.
The budget is only a conclusion of this entire exercise, where we take the estimated time and apply our rate card for the allocated team. As we rarely work on fixed-price projects, such estimates are only guidelines from a budget and timeline perspective, and what really matters is the sprint or monthly budget for the estimated team.
In the second case, lately, the smallest projects, quick MVPs or POCs, were about $20-30K, while the typical scalable project is anywhere from $60K up.

Review Summary
Because of this, FlyCleaners has continued to go to Tapptitude for all our of iterative development and maintenance needs on that app as well as other front-end development efforts -- most of which are internally-facing apps and web-apps. They always give accurate time and cost estimates and work well with our in-house team to alert us of issues with our API or other concerns that could threaten project timelines or success. Because we are a small company and don't have time to work out detailed requirements documents, we are extremely happy that Tapptitude is able to achieve the project needs with a minimum amount of "paperwork", instead working to understand the requirements through VOIP calls, emails, and Slack chats, both up front and throughout the project when requirements are unclear. Tapptitude is one of the best firms I've ever worked with.
