Corenna vs Capgo
Capgo is built around live updates for Capacitor apps: pushing web-code changes to installed apps without a store review. Its plans also include cloud builds of the native app. Corenna does the native builds and Google Play releases only, for Capacitor, Flutter and React Native.
Everything about Capgo below comes from its own website, checked on 15 October 2026. Plans change, so check the links at the bottom before you decide.
Frameworks
Corenna: Capacitor (including Lovable, Bolt, v0 and Replit web apps), Flutter and React Native, Expo included. Android builds create a missing android/ folder; iOS builds need ios/ committed.
Capgo: Capacitor apps only.
Where builds run
Corenna: GitHub Actions in your own GitHub account. Corenna writes the workflow into your repo.
Capgo: Capgo's macOS M4 machines, started with the Capgo CLI from your computer or any CI.
Setup
Corenna: Paste the repo and add signing. No YAML or CLI to learn.
Capgo: The Capgo CLI; signing files are sent with each build and deleted when it finishes.
Price
Corenna: First successful Android build free, then $2.99/month with no per-build charge. Builds use your GitHub Actions minutes: free for public repos; private repos use your plan's included minutes, then $0.062 per macOS minute.
Capgo: No free plan; a 14-day trial. Solo $14/month (1 build hour, 2,000 live-update users), Maker $39, Team $99, Enterprise from $249. Extra build time uses credits.
Google Play upload
Corenna: Yes: any track, with release notes.
Capgo: Yes.
App Store Connect upload
Corenna: No. You download the signed .ipa and upload it to App Store Connect.
Capgo: Yes, including TestFlight.
Live (OTA) updates
Corenna: No. Pair it with a live-update service if you need one.
Capgo: Yes. It is Capgo's main product.
Run it from a phone
Corenna: Yes. Built to run in a phone's browser, from repo to Google Play release.
Capgo: Builds start from the CLI or a CI pipeline.
Choose Capgo if
- You want live updates, shipping web-code fixes without waiting for store review.
- You want builds uploaded to TestFlight and the App Store for you.
- You want builds and live updates from one company.
Choose Corenna if
- Your app is Flutter or React Native, which Capgo Build does not cover.
- You only need signed builds and Google Play releases: $2.99/month instead of $14.
- You want to try it free first: your first Android build costs nothing.
- You want to work from your phone rather than a CLI.
They also work together: Corenna builds and signs the native app, and Capgo's live updates ship web-code changes between store releases.
