Our customers love Capawesome Cloud - find out why
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.
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.
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!
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 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 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.
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!
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.
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 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!
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 maintains two plugin scopes. The open-source @capawesome/ scope ships 29 free, MIT-licensed plugins (plus 10 Firebase and 6 ML Kit plugins under @capawesome-team/) for the broader community. Insiders is the premium @capawesome-team/ catalog of 22 enterprise-grade plugins for native features that require deeper engineering — BLE, NFC, OAuth, Biometrics, SQLite, native In-App Purchases, and more. Both are built and maintained by the same team.
Insiders is available as a subscription (Develop) for continuous access to all current and future SDKs, or as a perpetual license (Maintain) for a one-time purchase that includes 12 months of updates plus lifetime use of the SDKs. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
Yes. Auth Connect is replaced by our OAuth plugin, Identity Vault by Biometrics + Secure Preferences, and Secure Storage by SQLite + Secure Preferences. APIs are intentionally close to the originals, and we publish side-by-side migration guides for each pairing. Most teams complete the migration in days rather than months.
Your apps keep working — there's no kill switch. You'll lose access to new releases, but every version you've already installed continues to function indefinitely. If you'd prefer a one-time purchase, the Maintain license gives you 12 months of updates plus lifetime use of the SDKs.
Most Insider plugins support Android, iOS, and Web. A subset (e.g. Secure Preferences, Zip) is mobile-only because no equivalent web API exists. All plugins support every recent Capacitor major version (5 through 8) and ship same-day support for new Android and iOS releases.
Support comes directly from the maintainers — the engineers who built and ship the SDKs. All plans include community chat and email support, with average response times under one day. Enterprise adds priority support, onboarding, and a dedicated account manager.
We add a new Insider SDK roughly every other month, prioritized by community demand and the public roadmap. Subscriptions include every SDK released during your active period at no extra cost. Perpetual licenses include every SDK released within the 12-month update window.
Yes. Insiders authenticates via a license-keyed private npm registry, which works with every major CI/CD provider — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Pipelines, Ionic Appflow, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, AWS Amplify, and Jenkins. We publish integration guides for each.
Get instant access to 22 enterprise-grade Capacitor plugins with priority support from the maintainers. Subscription or perpetual license — your call.
