DeployPulse vs React Native Stallion

Comparing hosted OTA platforms for React Native? Here's how we stack up.

DeployPulse and Stallion are both hosted over-the-air update services for React Native, and they match on most of the fundamentals: delta updates, staged rollouts, automatic rollback and code signing. They differ on the client. DeployPulse is a drop-in replacement for App Center CodePush and works with the existing react-native-code-push SDK, so migrating means changing a server URL, while Stallion ships its own SDK and migrating means changing the client integration. On price, Stallion's entry paid plan is $64/month for 100,000 monthly active users against DeployPulse's $20/month for 50,000, and both free tiers cover 10,000 users, with DeployPulse including 100 GB of bandwidth against Stallion's 50 GB.

Common questions

DeployPulse is a drop-in replacement for the Microsoft CodePush service: apps using the react-native-code-push SDK switch by changing a server URL, with no SDK migration. It also implements the Expo Updates v1 protocol for Expo apps. Stallion uses its own SDK and integration path.

Yes. DeployPulse is fully compatible with react-native-code-push. If you're already using CodePush, or migrating off the retired Microsoft service, you keep your existing SDK and only change the server URL.

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.

DeployPulse includes a version adoption curve showing per-label download accumulation over time (cumulative or daily, across 30/60/90-day windows), per-country geo analytics, signed CDN URLs for secure delivery, and a usage and billing dashboard.

Yes, in two ways: 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.
