## Success Stories

 See what our customers say 

 Our customers love Capawesome Cloud - find out why 

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](/assets/images/testimonials/patrick-a-lima.jpg)

 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](/assets/images/testimonials/hugo-corta.jpg)

 Hugo Corta  Tech Lead at Vitruve 

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 

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.

![Jedidiah Weller](/assets/images/testimonials/jedidiah-weller.jpg)

 Jedidiah Weller  World Builder at Summon Worlds 

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](/assets/images/testimonials/michael-wolz.png)

 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](/assets/images/testimonials/daniel-ehrhardt-96.jpg)

 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](/assets/images/testimonials/clement-fradet-normand.jpg)

 Clément Fradet Normand  Co-Founder at Clovis 

We've been using Capawesome Cloud for CI/CD across our Capacitor apps and couldn't be happier. **Migrating from Appflow was a breeze — we were up and running in no time**, with way less friction than anticipated. The setup was straightforward and the workflow has been rock solid ever since. But what really sets Capawesome apart is the support. The team is incredibly responsive and genuinely helpful. It's great to get that level of personal attention from a SaaS tool. Highly recommend it to any Capacitor team looking to simplify their deployment pipeline.

![Dan Ziv](/assets/images/testimonials/dan-ziv.jpg)

 Dan Ziv  Head of Engineering at Greetings Island 

Capawesome's live updates have been a game changer for our mobile recipe app at King Arthur Baking. We can **quickly deliver improvements without app store delays, saving time and resources** while keeping the experience fresh for our baking community.

![Jordan Kilby](/assets/images/testimonials/jordan-kilby.jpg)

 Jordan Kilby  Digital Marketing Leader at King Arthur Baking 

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](/assets/images/testimonials/sagie-ivan.jpg)

 Sagie Ivan  Co-Founder at Dibs 

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!

 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](mailto:support@capawesome.io) or via [Discord](https://discord.gg/VCXxSVjefW). 

What is Capawesome Cloud?

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.

Can I use individual features, or do I need all of them?

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.

Why should I use cloud builds instead of building locally?

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.

Can I self-host Live Update bundles?

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](/docs/cloud/live-updates/advanced/self-hosting/).

Is Capawesome Cloud a complete Ionic Appflow replacement?

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](/alternatives/ionic-appflow/).

How fast are builds on Capawesome Cloud?

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.
