Common questions
Codemagic is a mobile CI/CD platform that added a hosted, CodePush-compatible OTA service alongside its build pipelines. DeployPulse is a purpose-built OTA platform: it focuses entirely on over-the-air delivery, with auto-rollback on error spikes, delta updates, a version adoption curve, and per-country geo analytics. Both are drop-in compatible with the react-native-code-push SDK.
Yes. Like Codemagic's CodePush service, DeployPulse works with react-native-code-push by changing a server URL, with no SDK migration or native rebuild. DeployPulse also supports Expo apps via the Expo Updates v1 protocol.
Codemagic's hosted CodePush service starts around $99/month per 100,000 monthly active users. DeployPulse's paid plans start at $9/month, and include auto-rollback, delta updates, and per-country geo analytics that Codemagic's OTA offering does not document.
Yes. DeployPulse monitors the error rate on every new OTA release and automatically rolls back to the previous stable release when the error rate crosses a configurable threshold, checked on a 5-minute interval, then notifies you by email.
Yes. Expo bare-workflow apps can use the react-native-code-push SDK directly, and Expo managed or bare apps using expo-updates are supported natively via our Expo Updates v1 protocol implementation. Codemagic supports the Expo bare workflow, with managed workflow listed as planned.
