Success Stories

See what our customers say

Our customers love Capawesome Cloud - find out why

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 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 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!

Clément Fradet Normand
Clément Fradet Normand Co-Founder at Clovis

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

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

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

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.

Capawesome gives you more than just builds: Git-triggered Native Builds on Apple Silicon M4 macOS runners, OTA Live Updates for Capacitor and Cordova apps, automated App Store Publishing, and end-to-end Automations. Enterprise features like SSO, audit logs, and team management are included on paid plans.

No. VoltBuilder is a build service only — there's no OTA or hot-code-push feature. Capawesome ships production-grade Live Updates for Capacitor and Cordova apps with gradual rollouts, automatic rollbacks, code signing, and delta updates.

VoltBuilder uses a zip-upload (or API) model — you package your project and send it in. Capawesome connects to your Git repo (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) and builds automatically on every push, with centralized build history, environment variables, and secrets management.

Yes. Every workflow — builds, live updates, app store submissions — runs through our CLI or REST API, so you can drive Capawesome from GitHub Actions, Claude Code, or any automation tool. An MCP server is on the way, and we already ship AI agent skills that let Claude set up Native Builds, publish Live Updates, and submit to the App Store for you. VoltBuilder exposes an API but no CLI, MCP, or agent tooling.

Yes. Native Builds, Live Updates, and App Store Publishing all work with Cordova, Capacitor, and Ionic. One note: Capawesome doesn't build Cordova Windows apps — if that's a hard requirement, VoltBuilder remains a fit for those targets.

Capawesome bundles Native Builds, Live Updates, and App Store Publishing into one fixed monthly plan — see our pricing page for current plans. VoltBuilder meters by builds-per-day; we meter by build minutes and Live Update MAUs, which is more predictable for teams running multiple platforms.

Typically under a day. Your project source doesn't change — we read the same capacitor.config.ts or Cordova config.xml. You connect your Git repo (or push from the CLI), upload your signing assets once, and you're building. Our team provides free migration support with comprehensive documentation and direct assistance.
