Capgo vs Capawesome Cloud

Capgo: Started in 2020. Serving 1B+ updates/month across 50M+ devices. Battle-tested at scale for 4+ years.

Capawesome: Live updates launched in 2024. Very new to this space. Still proving scale 90+.

We've been doing this much longer. 4+ years of production experience vs less than a year.

Capgo: $14/month to start, scales with usage (~$0.001/MAU). Live updates is our core business.

Capawesome: €9/month minimum. Their main business is paid plugins - live updates is more of a side offering.

Both are fairly priced. The difference? For us, live updates is THE product. For them, it's an add-on to their plugin business.

Capgo: 100% open source - plugin AND backend (MIT/MPL-2.0)

• Plugin: github.com/Cap-go/capacitor-updater
• Backend: github.com/Cap-go/capgo
• Self-host, fork, audit security yourself anytime
• Public security audits available

Capawesome: Plugin, CLI is open source, backend is 0% open source (fully closed)

• No way to self-audit backend code
• No public security audits
• No self-hosting option

For compliance, healthcare, finance, or any regulated industry where you need to audit your entire stack - we're the only option you know what is inside at any point of time.

Capgo: Bootstrapped family business. No investors, no debt. Profitable since year one.

• Legal entities in both US and Europe
• Dedicated infrastructure for China
• This is our livelihood - no VC pressure to "pivot" or suddenly 10x pricing
• Built for the long term

Capawesome: Solo founder, sustainable business model (also good!)

Both are sustainable businesses, just different structures. After seeing Appflow shut down, this stuff matters.

Capgo: We maintain 100+ Capacitor plugins - biggest provider after official Capacitor team. All free and open source.

Capawesome: They also make great plugins, quality-focused approach. Some are paid - that's their main business.

Different philosophies: we go broad with all-free plugins, they focus on paid premium plugins.

Both: Human support from small teams (no chatbots!)

Capgo: Usually within hours, often minutes. Even on weekends (we can't help ourselves 😅)

Capawesome: Responsive and helpful too

Honestly, you'll be fine with either. Both small teams that care.

Capgo: 動的チャンネル割り当て - API、バックエンド経由でデバイスをチャンネルに割り当て、またはデバイスの自己割り当てを許可。ユースケース：A/Bテスト、ベータプログラム、段階的ロールアウト、場所別ビルド（レストラン/店舗ごとに異なるバンドル）、PRプレビューテスト - すべて新バージョンなしで。

Capawesome: 動的チャンネル割り当てなし - チャンネルは静的です。新しいアプリバージョンをリリースせずにデバイスを別のチャンネルに再割り当てすることはできません。

段階的ロールアウト、ベータテスト、またはユーザーセグメンテーションを行うチームにとって、これは画期的な機能です。Capgoを使用すると、サーバー側またはデバイス自体からどのデバイスがどの更新を受け取るかを動的に制御できます。

Capgo: デバイスレベルのログ - 各デバイスで何が起こったかを正確に確認できます。更新履歴、エラー、ロールバック - 匿名IDでデバイスごとにすべて追跡可能。

Capawesome: サーバーサイドログのみ - サーバーで何が起こったかは見えますが、個々のデバイスでは見えません。デバイス固有の問題をデバッグするのがはるかに困難です。

何か問題が発生したとき、その特定のデバイスで何が起こったかを知る必要があります。サーバーログは送信したものを教えてくれます - デバイスログは実際に何が起こったかを教えてくれます。
