Clickable Prototype

See your app working before you pay for the build

A Clickable Prototype is a version of your app you can tap and click through, with realistic sample data. Nexera AI builds it in about 5 business days after a free Scope Call, for $100–300 depending on scope. It's for non-technical founders who want to see and test the product before committing to an MVP.

  • $100–$300~5 business days
Who it's for

Is a Clickable Prototype right for you?

A good fit if

  • You have an idea for an app and want to see it on a screen before spending thousands on a build.
  • You don't write code and find it hard to explain the product in words alone.
  • You want something concrete to show co-founders, early users or investors.
  • You want to test the main user journey and fix it before the build starts.

Not a fit if

  • You need a working backend, sign-in or payments now. Go straight to an MVP Launch.
  • You need to prove a technical risk works, such as an integration or an AI model. Start with a PoC Sprint.
  • You already have an app built with AI tools that broke. Start with AI App Rescue.
  • You want production code to take away without working with us further. The prototype code stays with Nexera AI unless you continue.
What you get

What a Clickable Prototype includes

  • A free Scope Call with a senior developer, who goes through your idea with you.
  • Product Requirements written with you, so you know exactly what the product should do.
  • Clickable screens for the main user journey, with realistic sample data, that work on a phone or a computer.
  • A walkthrough call where we click through the prototype together and note what to change.
  • Screenshots and a PDF walkthrough that you keep whatever you decide next.
  • A Ballpark for building the real MVP from the same requirements.
How it works

From idea to Clickable Prototype in four steps

Most Clickable Prototypes are ready about 5 business days after the Scope Call. You pay a small fixed fee, invoiced after the call.

  1. Day 1

    Free Scope Call

    A senior developer goes through your idea, your users and the one journey that matters most. We agree what the prototype will cover and its fixed price.

  2. Days 1–2

    Product Requirements

    We write the Product Requirements with you in plain language. You confirm them before any screen is built. Work starts when the invoice is paid.

  3. ~5 business days

    Prototype build

    AI builds the screens against the requirements and a senior developer reviews them. You get a view-only preview link to click through on any device.

  4. End of week 1

    Walkthrough and decision

    We click through it together and agree changes. Then you decide whether to build the MVP with us. If you do, the prototype fee is credited in full.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How much does a clickable prototype cost?

A Clickable Prototype from Nexera AI costs $100–300, depending on how many screens and flows it covers. The fee is credited in full if you go on to build the MVP with us.

How long does it take to make a clickable prototype of an app?

About 5 business days after the free Scope Call. The first day or two go into writing the Product Requirements with you, then we build the screens.

What is the difference between a prototype and an MVP?

A Clickable Prototype shows the screens and flows with sample data, so you can test the idea. An MVP is a working product with a real backend, sign-in and data that real users can use, and takes 2–4 weeks.

Do I need written requirements before we start?

No. Most founders arrive with an idea, not a document. A senior developer writes the Product Requirements with you on the free Scope Call.

What do I keep if I don't build the MVP with you?

You keep the screenshots and a PDF walkthrough of the prototype. The preview link expires after 14 days, and the source code stays with Nexera AI, as set out in our Prototype & Code Audit Terms.

Can I show the prototype to investors or early users?

Yes. The preview link works on any phone or computer for 14 days, and the screenshots and PDF walkthrough are yours to share.

Is the prototype fee refunded or credited?

It's credited in full against the MVP Launch if you continue. If you cancel before work starts, you get a full refund.
