How does AppGantry compare?
Most mobile distribution platforms charge per seat, per device, or cap your downloads. AppGantry charges for the bytes you actually move. Below we run the same two scenarios through each platform so you can compare.
Pricing model differences

| Bitrise | Build credits + per-seat tiers | Pro+ only | ✗ No |
| DeployGate | Per member ($20/member/mo after 4) | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| Applivery | Download caps + collaborator seats | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| Appaloosa | Per device (min 50 devices) | ✗ No | ✗ No |

Why the difference?
No per-seat tax
Add teammates, reviewers, QA, CI bots, whatever you need. None of it changes your bill.
No download caps
You pay for what you use, not for an arbitrary tier ceiling. No need to upgrade your plan just because a popular build got more downloads than expected.
BYOSA for predictability
At scale, bring your own storage and pay our platform fee and nothing else. No metering surprises. Your cloud provider's egress costs are typically a fraction of what distribution platforms charge. BYOSA is an Enterprise feature, so it is priced per contract rather than from the pricing page.
