Our customers love Capawesome Cloud - find out why

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

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 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

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 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 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

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.

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have questions about Capawesome Cloud? We have answered the most frequently asked questions for you here - if your question is not included, don't hesitate to contact us by Email or via Discord.

Capawesome Cloud is a fully managed CI/CD platform for mobile apps. It bundles Live Updates, Native Builds, App Store Publishing, and Automations into one integrated product — so you can build, update, and release iOS and Android apps without stitching together multiple tools.

Use any combination. Ship Live Updates without Native Builds, automate App Store Publishing against your existing CI, or run the full pipeline end-to-end — you only pay for what you use.

Cloud builds give you a consistent build environment, centralized secret management, faster hardware, and full auditability. Not everyone on your team needs access to signing keys, and nobody needs to wait for a Mac mini under a desk. Builds also run on M4 Pro Apple Silicon — 3–5× faster than most local setups.

Yes. Host your bundles on your own servers or CDN — only metadata is sent to Capawesome Cloud. There are no data transfer or storage limits, which makes self-hosting a good fit for teams with strict data residency or compliance requirements. See the self-hosting guide.

Yes. Ionic Appflow is being discontinued (end of life December 31, 2027). Capawesome Cloud covers all three Appflow services — Live Updates, Native Builds, and Deploy — with lower prices, faster builds, and dedicated migration support. See our Appflow comparison.

Typical iOS and Android builds complete in 2–5 minutes on our M4 Pro Apple Silicon hardware. Real customer example: snapADDY BusinessCards cut their build time from 17 minutes to 5 minutes — a 3.4× improvement — and saved 75% on monthly CI costs after switching.
