When your team hits the edges, we take over. [ Book a consultation ](https://cal.com/team/capawesome/consulting)[ Contact us ](/contact-sales/) More than 1,000 teams build with Capawesome ## Specialties Four areas where we go deep Focused engagements on the parts of Capacitor where generalists get stuck Native SDKs, niche hardware, vendor APIs — the work no off-the-shelf plugin covers. We design, build, and maintain bespoke Capacitor plugins with the same quality bar as the ones we open-source. Stuck on Capacitor 4, 5, or 6 with deprecated plugins and a roadmap waiting on the upgrade? We take cross-version jumps from 4 through 8 and remove the guesswork — and the downtime. Retire Cordova without rewriting your app. We map every plugin and config, port your native code, and ship a working Capacitor build — with feature parity and a safe rollout. Auth Connect, Identity Vault, and Secure Storage are being sunset. We migrate you to drop-in Capawesome alternatives (OAuth, Biometrics, Secure Preferences, SQLite) without losing users or breaking flows. ## How it works From first call to shipping in weeks A lightweight process designed to get you value fast — no months-long procurement cycles 1\. Free 20-min call Tell us about the specific problem — the plugin you need, the migration you are facing, the upgrade that is blocked. Sharp questions, no sales pitch, honest answer on whether we can help. 2\. Scoped proposal Within a few days you receive a written proposal with deliverables, timeline, and pricing. Fixed-price or monthly retainer — you choose what fits. 3\. Kickoff and delivery We start within a week. You get regular updates, async-first communication, and a shared Slack or Discord channel with direct access to the team. ## Why Capawesome Who better than the team behind the tools? You are not hiring generalists — you are hiring the team that builds and maintains the Capacitor ecosystem. Our team contributes directly to the Capacitor core and ecosystem. When you hit an edge case, you are one conversation away from the people who wrote the plugin. We author and maintain the [Capawesome plugins](/plugins/) used by thousands of apps in production — Biometrics, Secure Preferences, File Picker, Background Task, and many more. We run the platform behind [Live Updates](/cloud/live-updates/), [Native Builds](/cloud/native-builds/), and [App Store Publishing](/cloud/app-store-publishing/). Setup, migration, and scaling are all in our comfort zone. Custom plugins, version upgrades, and migrations from Cordova or Ionic Enterprise SDKs are what we work on every week — not side projects squeezed between generic app builds. Based in Germany, we sign DPAs, operate under EU data protection law, and understand what European teams need from a vendor — no paperwork surprises. We default to written updates and recorded walkthroughs so nothing depends on a scheduled meeting. Synchronous calls happen when they add value, not because a process demands them. ## Client stories What our consulting clients say A few words from teams we have helped ship and scale Capacitor apps 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](/assets/images/testimonials/daniel-ehrhardt-96.jpg) 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](/assets/images/testimonials/christofer-huber-96.jpg) Christofer Huber CTO at WEBPUNKS GmbH Frequently asked questions Still have questions about consulting? Email our [sales team](mailto:sales@capawesome.io) or join our [Discord community](https://discord.gg/VCXxSVjefW). What does a typical engagement look like? Most engagements fall into one of four buckets: **custom Capacitor plugin development**, **Capacitor version upgrades** (4 through 8), **Cordova-to-Capacitor migrations**, and **Ionic Enterprise SDK migrations**. Scope ranges from two-week fixed-price projects to multi-month retainers — every project starts with a free 20-minute discovery call so we can understand your scope and goals before putting together a proposal. Do you also build full Capacitor apps from scratch? No. We focus strictly on specialist work where deep Capacitor expertise is the differentiator — custom plugins, version upgrades, and migrations. For greenfield Capacitor app development, we recommend our trusted partner [OpenForge](https://openforge.io), who we regularly collaborate with on larger programs. How do you price consulting work? We offer two pricing models for all project sizes: **fixed-price projects** for well-scoped work (custom plugins, audits, upgrades, migrations) and **monthly retainers** for ongoing plugin maintenance and multi-phase engagements. You always get a clear proposal with deliverables and timeline before we start — no surprises. Do you sign NDAs? Yes. We routinely sign NDAs before the discovery call and are happy to use your template or provide ours. Who owns the code and IP? You do. All code, plugins, and documentation we produce for you are assigned to your company on delivery. If we build something that would also benefit the wider Capacitor community, we may ask for permission to contribute a generalized version upstream — but that is always your call. Are you remote-only? Yes, we work remote-first and async-first, which lets us collaborate smoothly with teams around the world. We can schedule synchronous calls and pairing sessions whenever useful. What timezones do you cover? Our team is based in Europe (CET/CEST) but we regularly work with teams in North and South America, Asia, and Australia. We adapt our working hours to ensure reasonable overlap for meetings, reviews, and production support. Can you work alongside our in-house team? Absolutely. Most of our engagements are collaborative — we embed with your engineers for code reviews, architecture guidance, pair programming, and hands-on debugging on the specialist slice. You keep full ownership of the roadmap; we bring Capacitor depth where you need it. What if we are already using Ionic Appflow or Capgo? We have migrated dozens of teams from Ionic Appflow and Capgo to Capawesome Cloud, and we can do the same for you. Migrations are scoped as fixed-price engagements so you know exactly what to expect. How do we get started? Book a free 20-minute discovery call, send us an email, or [contact us](/contact-sales/). You can also reach us on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/VCXxSVjefW) or at [sales@capawesome.io](mailto:sales@capawesome.io). ## Ready to go deep on Capacitor?
