Our customers love Capawesome Cloud - find out why
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.
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'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.
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.
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.
Capawesome felt like it was designed with software engineers in mind. The documentation is excellent, the native library is robust, and the integration was minimally invasive and easy to keep well-factored and self-contained. We compared it directly with competitors, and Capawesome came out ahead on every point.
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.
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 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.
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!
Most CI/CD platforms are dropping Apache Cordova support. Capawesome Cloud keeps Cordova first-class with native builds, OTA updates, and store deploys.
App Center is gone. Appflow is going. Compare the remaining CI/CD platforms for Apache Cordova apps in 2026 — and find one that still fits your team.
Build and sign a Cordova iOS app in the cloud without a Mac. Use Capawesome Cloud Native Builds to produce a signed .ipa from Windows or Linux in minutes.
Capawesome gives you more than just builds: Git-triggered Native Builds on Apple Silicon M4 macOS runners, OTA Live Updates for Capacitor and Cordova apps, automated App Store Publishing, and end-to-end Automations. Enterprise features like SSO, audit logs, and team management are included on paid plans.
No. VoltBuilder is a build service only — there's no OTA or hot-code-push feature. Capawesome ships production-grade Live Updates for Capacitor and Cordova apps with gradual rollouts, automatic rollbacks, code signing, and delta updates.
VoltBuilder uses a zip-upload (or API) model — you package your project and send it in. Capawesome connects to your Git repo (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) and builds automatically on every push, with centralized build history, environment variables, and secrets management.
Yes. Every workflow — builds, live updates, app store submissions — runs through our CLI or REST API, so you can drive Capawesome from GitHub Actions, Claude Code, or any automation tool. An MCP server is on the way, and we already ship AI agent skills that let Claude set up Native Builds, publish Live Updates, and submit to the App Store for you. VoltBuilder exposes an API but no CLI, MCP, or agent tooling.
Yes. Native Builds, Live Updates, and App Store Publishing all work with Cordova, Capacitor, and Ionic. One note: Capawesome doesn't build Cordova Windows apps — if that's a hard requirement, VoltBuilder remains a fit for those targets.
Capawesome bundles Native Builds, Live Updates, and App Store Publishing into one fixed monthly plan — see our pricing page for current plans. VoltBuilder meters by builds-per-day; we meter by build minutes and Live Update MAUs, which is more predictable for teams running multiple platforms.
Typically under a day. Your project source doesn't change — we read the same capacitor.config.ts or Cordova config.xml. You connect your Git repo (or push from the CLI), upload your signing assets once, and you're building. Our team provides free migration support with comprehensive documentation and direct assistance.
If you build Cordova Windows apps, VoltBuilder still covers that target — Capawesome does not. If your workflow is occasional one-off builds without a Git connection (consulting deliveries, closed-source uploads, sporadic releases), VoltBuilder's pay-per-build model can be cheaper than a fixed subscription. For teams shipping production apps continuously — with OTA Live Updates, automated App Store Publishing, and end-to-end Automations — Capawesome is purpose-built.
