Many of our SDKs are open-source and free forever under the MIT license.

Can I trust these SDKs in production? Yes — Capawesome SDKs power apps used by millions of people every day, from indie startups to Fortune 500 companies. They are built and maintained by official Ionic Developer Experts, with regular updates, security patches, and a public changelog you can follow. Can you build a custom SDK for us? Yes.
