What are common mistakes when launching an MVP vs MMP in 2025?

Many startups in 2025 still confuse the goals of an MVP and an MMP, leading to poor product decisions. One of the biggest mistakes is treating a minimum viable product vs minimum marketable product as the same thing, which results in launching too early without market-ready features. Teams also misjudge scope in mvp vs mmp, either building too little (weak MVP) or too much (bloated MMP). Another major error is ignoring user feedback, assuming an MVP is just a “basic version” rather than a learning tool, and assuming an MMP does not require refinement post-launch.

Conclusion:

Understanding the difference between MVP vs MMP helps startups avoid wasted resources and ensures they launch a product that is both validated and market-ready—leading to stronger success in 2025.
