Key Advantages

Why teams choose Capawesome over Codemagic

Built for the Capacitor ecosystem, bundled into one plan, and ready for AI agents from day one.

Full Capacitor OTA

Codemagic CodePush supports only React Native. Capawesome delivers OTA Live Updates to Capacitor, Ionic, and Cordova with rollouts and rollbacks.

Bundled Pricing

Native Builds, Live Updates, and App Store Publishing bundled on every plan. No per-minute meters, no $49/month concurrency add-ons.

Faster Build Machines

M4 Pro runners with up to 14 CPU cores and 64 GB RAM — more compute than Codemagic's standard 10-core, 16 GB M4 machines.

No YAML Required

Configure builds, signing, and secrets in the console. Trigger from CLI, API, or Git push — no pipeline YAML to author and maintain.

AI-Native from Day 1

CLI, API, and MCP (coming soon) — plus official AI agent skills so coding agents can build, update, and publish your apps without handholding.

Capacitor Experts

Built by official Ionic Developer Experts and Capacitor Community members. Codemagic is Flutter-first — we're Capacitor-first.

Success Stories

See what our customers say

Our customers love Capawesome Cloud - find out why

Capawesome Cloud has helped us reduce our live update costs by more than 90% while offering more features than our previous provider. The integration took us less than a day and the support is top-notch. We now deliver daily live updates to more than 200,000 devices without any issues.

Michael Wolz
Michael Wolz Head of Development at snapADDY GmbH

We had to use an Android and iOS SDK in our Capacitor app, for which no plugin existed. Capawesome was able to create a fully functional Capacitor plugin for us within a few days. The communication was excellent and the plugin works perfectly.

Daniel Ehrhardt
Daniel Ehrhardt CEO at Codext GmbH

We tested and verified several solutions on the market to help us deliver OTA updates for our Apps quickly, securely and, most importantly, that were capable of scaling as we grew and demanded. Capawesome Cloud was our choice! The integration is super simple, we have automatic rollback and code signing to ensure the security of updates. The costs are transparent and honest, we are very happy with the platform and looking forward to integrating our future Apps!

Patrick A. Lima
Patrick A. Lima CEO at Nuinalp

Moving from Ionic Appflow to Capawesome Cloud has been a fantastic experience. We're very pleased with the product and genuinely impressed with what the team has built. The builds are significantly faster than Ionic Appflow, which is a nice improvement. We especially appreciate how the build process is separated from deployment—it has made debugging much easier and streamlined our entire workflow. The support has also been great. We hope to see even more users make the switch!

Karvan Jay Technical Director at Our Management Group Pty Ltd

Capawesome Cloud has been a game-changer for our team. We can now deploy updates to our Capacitor app without pushing to the app stores. This has saved us countless hours and allowed us to iterate faster. It's a must-have for any modern app development team.

Hugo Corta
Hugo Corta Tech Lead at Vitruve

We mainly use over-the-air (OTA) updates to deliver critical bug fixes and updates when waiting on the App Store review process is not an option. After dealing with too much down-time and latency from Capgo, we made the decision to switch to Capawesome Cloud and we couldn't be happier. Capawesome is more stable and the package delivery speeds are significantly faster, which makes a big difference at scale. Capawesome's team is extremely responsive and professional - thanks for supplying such a great product guys.

Our Capacitor app had several unique requirements for running operations in the background. The Capawesome team was able to quickly understand our needs and crafted a customized Capacitor plugin that exceeded our expectations.

Christofer Huber
Christofer Huber CTO at WEBPUNKS GmbH

Capawesome Cloud has become an essential part of our release workflow. We mainly use it for over-the-air updates, allowing us to fix bugs and release updates quickly without waiting for the app review process. The integration was incredibly easy — it took us less than a day and felt almost plug-and-play. The support is excellent as well; the team is always helpful, responsive, and quick to reply.

Sagie Ivan
Sagie Ivan Co-Founder at Dibs

We switched from Capgo to Capawesome Cloud a few months ago and so far we haven't looked back. With Capawesome Cloud, we have significantly less downtime, updates are delivered faster, and support is literally the best we have ever experienced. The integration was straightforward, and the documentation is clear and concise. Big thanks to the Capawesome team for creating such an awesome platform!

Frequently asked questions

Have questions about migrating from Codemagic to Capawesome? We've answered the most common migration questions here. For additional support, reach out to us by Email or via Discord.

If you're building with Capacitor, Ionic, or Cordova — yes. Codemagic is primarily a Flutter CI/CD platform, and its OTA service (CodePush) only supports React Native. Capawesome is built specifically for the Capacitor ecosystem, with OTA Live Updates, Native Builds, and App Store Publishing in one product.

Yes. The Capawesome Live Update SDK supports Capacitor, Ionic, and Cordova from a single open-source plugin — with delta updates, gradual rollouts, automatic rollbacks, and code-signed bundles. Codemagic CodePush is React Native only.

Capawesome bundles Native Builds, Live Updates, and App Store Publishing into one fixed monthly plan — see our pricing page for current plans. Codemagic charges per build minute on pay-as-you-go, $49/month per additional concurrent build, and $99/month separately for CodePush.

No. Builds, signing, and secrets are configured in the web console. Trigger builds from the console, CLI, API, or a Git push — no pipeline YAML to author and maintain.

Both run on Apple Silicon M4 hardware. Capawesome's M4 Pro runners offer up to 14 CPU cores and 64 GB RAM — more than Codemagic's standard 10-core, 16 GB M4 machines — and iOS and Android builds run at the same rate with no platform multiplier.

Yes — we've been AI-native from day one. Every feature is available via CLI and API, with MCP support coming soon, and our official AI agent skills let tools like Claude Code drive builds, Live Updates, and store submissions directly — no custom scripting required.

Most teams migrate in under a day. Our team provides free migration support, including help porting your existing workflow, signing identities, and publishing destinations.
