Capawesome is a fully managed mobile CI/CD platform and a Capgo alternative that brings Live Updates, Native Builds, and App Store Publishing together — for Capacitor, Ionic, Cordova, and native Android and iOS.

Set up your staging and production channels in the web console or CLI, and upload your code-signing key if you ship signed updates.
Push your first bundle from the console, CLI, or a Git push, then roll it out gradually to your users and track every release from one dashboard.
See why teams are switching from Capgo to Capawesome
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!
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 is a complete mobile CI/CD platform. Native Builds for iOS and Android, automated App Store Publishing to TestFlight and Google Play, and Live Updates — all in one product, driven from a web console, REST API, CLI, or a Git push.
Capawesome works with Capacitor, Ionic, Cordova, and native Android and iOS. Cross-platform apps get every cloud feature, including Live Updates, while Native Builds and App Store Publishing also cover pure native iOS and Android projects.
Most teams migrate in under a day — see our step-by-step migration guide. Capgo and Capawesome both ship a Capacitor plugin — swap the dependency, point it at your Capawesome app, and your existing release flow keeps working. Bring your existing release channels and code-signing key (upload it once to our encrypted vault if you want signed updates), and you can start publishing bundles immediately. Our team helps with the migration at no cost on every paid plan — including help porting custom rollout strategies you had in Capgo.
Plans start at $9/month with fixed, transparent pricing — no platform multipliers, no per-build surcharges. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
Reliability is a top reason teams move to Capawesome from Capgo. We run on fully managed, isolated infrastructure, back paid plans with an uptime SLA, and protect users with per-device automatic rollback if a Live Update ever misbehaves. Both companies publish public status pages — ours at status.capawesome.io and Capgo's at status.capgo.app — so compare the two track records yourself. For production apps and enterprises, Capawesome is built to be the dependable choice.
Capawesome is built by official Ionic Developer Experts and active Capacitor Community Members — the same team behind one of the largest open-source Capacitor plugin portfolios in the ecosystem, under active daily development. Every paying customer gets direct access to that engineering team — no first-tier help desk, no canned answers — and Enterprise plans add priority response times and a dedicated channel.
Capgo is a good fit if you want a self-hosted, open-source OTA server and prefer to run it yourself. For production apps and enterprises, Capawesome is the stronger fit — one fully managed platform for Live Updates, Native Builds, and App Store Publishing, backed by an uptime SLA and direct engineering support.
