What's the difference between Capawesome Cloud and Capawesome Plugins? Capawesome Cloud is a CI/CD platform for building, updating, and publishing mobile apps. Capawesome Plugins are Capacitor SDKs that add native device features to your app. They work great together, but you can use either one independently. Which technologies does Capawesome support? Capawesome supports Capacitor, Ionic, Cordova, native Android, and native iOS. Every Capawesome Cloud feature works on Capacitor, Ionic, and Cordova. Native Android and iOS support every cloud feature except Live Updates. Do I need a Mac to build iOS apps? No. Capawesome Cloud builds iOS apps in the cloud on Apple Silicon M4 Pro hardware. Work from Windows, Linux, or a Chromebook — we handle code signing, provisioning, and builds for you. Can I try Capawesome for free? Yes. Every Capawesome Cloud plan comes with a 14-day free trial that you can cancel anytime. Our 50+ open-source Capacitor plugins are free and open source forever. Is Capawesome a replacement for Ionic Appflow? Yes. Ionic Appflow is discontinued (end of life December 31, 2027). Capawesome Cloud is a complete replacement covering Live Updates, Native Builds, and App Store Publishing — with lower prices, faster builds, and dedicated migration support. See our [Appflow comparison](/alternatives/ionic-appflow/). Who is behind Capawesome? Capawesome is headquartered in Germany with a globally distributed team and 500+ open-source contributors around the world. Our core maintainers are official Ionic Developer Experts. We're trusted by 1,000+ development teams including Fortune 500 companies, and officially recommended by OpenForge, an Ionic Platinum Partner.
