Turn Your Idea Into a Working First Product
GiantByte builds software for startups in Edmonton. We help founders turn a product idea into a focused first release, whether that means a web application, a mobile app or both.
A fixed price for an agreed scope. You get the features we agree on for a price you know before we build. Our standard MVP build is 12 weeks, and we also offer fixed-price quotes for scope changes.
Build the Product Your Idea Needs
Keep the first release focused while putting the essential parts of your business in place.
Web and Mobile Products
Create an application customers can use in a browser or on their phones, shaped around the main reason they will use it.
Accounts, Bookings and Payments
Support customer sign-up, service bookings, orders or payments where they are essential to the first release.
Platforms and Marketplaces
Connect customers and providers, organize listings and move requests through a clear workflow.
The Operations Behind the Product
Give your team the admin screens, reporting and integrations needed to deliver the service and support users.
A Fixed Price for Your First Release
Build enough to test the idea with real users, then use what you learn to decide what comes next.
1. Define the Core Problem
Agree who the product is for, the main task it solves and how you will judge the first release.
2. Agree the Scope and Price
Separate essentials from later ideas and agree the features, fixed price and 12-week MVP plan.
3. Build and Review
Review working features throughout development so questions and changes are addressed while the product takes shape.
4. Launch, Learn and Iterate
Put the product in users’ hands, gather feedback and decide which improvements to make next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a finished specification before contacting you?
No. Bring your idea, intended users and any sketches or existing work. We can help identify the first-release requirements and the questions that need answering.
How much does software for startups cost?
Typical MVP projects range from $20,000 to $100,000 CAD. We agree the scope and a fixed price before the initial build. Changes can also be quoted at a fixed price, with hourly work available later.
Can you work with an existing product or technical team?
Yes. We can review existing work, collaborate with your team and agree which parts need to be built or improved.
What happens after launch, and who owns the code?
We provide 30-day post-launch issue resolution. You receive full source-code ownership after final payment, with no ongoing GiantByte software licensing fees. Further development, maintenance or handover can be planned around your team.
