What is the difference between an MVP and a prototype?
An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and a prototype are both used in product development, but they serve different purposes and stages in the process.

Prototypes can be just drawings, wireframes, or clickable screens. They are used to test the concept and design before building anything real. A prototype helps gather feedback early without spending much time or money.
On the other hand, an MVP is a working version of the product with just the core features. It is not the final product, but real users can use it. The purpose of an MVP is to test your idea
