What it is

Codemagic is a cloud-based CI/CD service for building, testing, and deploying mobile apps. It supports Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android, Unity, Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile,.NET MAUI, and Ionic projects. Builds can start after code pushes, tag creation, or merged pull requests, with workflows for development, testing, and production distribution. Deployment can be automated to the Apple App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store, and Huawei App Gallery.

The service provides code-signing identity management and Apple Developer portal integration. Its integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, BrowserStack, AWS Device Farm, Firebase, Slack, and SonarCloud; self-hosted repositories can connect with HTTPS or SSH. Builds run in virtual machines that are destroyed after completion. The maker says build data is cleaned when a build finishes, except for artifacts available in logs or for download. The free plan costs nothing and includes 500 monthly build minutes for one team member, one parallel build, and a 120-minute build duration limit. Fixed-price plans are $3,990 a year, and Enterprise starts at $12,000 a year.

Codemagic in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

Codemagic is a hosted CI/CD service built around mobile app delivery. It suits teams that want repository-triggered builds, signing and store releases in one workflow. Its strongest case is mobile-focused automation; its main constraint is the 120-minute build limit on most plans.

Key features

Builds can start when code is pushed, a tag is created or a pull request is merged, with separate workflows for development, testing and production distribution. Self-hosted repositories can connect over HTTPS or SSH, and the integration catalog includes GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, BrowserStack, AWS Device Farm, Firebase, Slack and SonarCloud. That gives teams several ways to connect source control, testing and notifications without changing the product’s mobile focus.

Codemagic supports Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android, Unity, Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile,.NET MAUI and Ionic. Built-in signing identity management and Apple Developer portal integration address release preparation, while automated deployment covers the Apple App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store and Huawei App Gallery.

Builds run in virtual machines that are destroyed after completion. Build data is cleaned when a build finishes, apart from artifacts retained in logs or for download. Sensitive data is stored in an access-limited Google Cloud bucket, encrypted at rest with AES-256 and transmitted using TLS 1.2 or HTTPS. Codemagic says its SOC 2 Type II audit report is available on request; it has not undergone an ISO 27001 audit. That is useful security context for procurement, though organizations requiring ISO 27001 certification should look elsewhere.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and allows one team member, 500 build minutes refilled monthly and one parallel build. It retains build history and artifacts for 30 days, offers 3GB of cache per build, and caps each build at 120 minutes. This is a practical starting point for an individual or small project, but the single seat and concurrency limit constrain team use.

Pay as you go has a $0/month base cost, billed monthly for the previous month’s usage. It allows unlimited team members but only one parallel build, with 60 days of build history and artifact storage. Usage costs $0.095/minute Mac mini M2, $0.114/minute Mac mini M4, and $0.045/minute Linux X2 and Windows. It retains the 120-minute duration limit, so teams with variable workloads can avoid a fixed annual commitment but should account for per-minute costs and the single-build queue.

Fixed price is billed yearly, with M2, M4 and M4 Max options shown at $3,990, $5,400 and $9,000 per year. It includes unlimited team members and build minutes, three parallel builds, one year of build history and artifact storage, and 10GB of cache per build. The 120-minute cap still applies, so this tier suits teams with steady volume more than workloads requiring longer individual jobs.

Enterprise starts from $12,000 per year and includes unlimited team members and build minutes, three parallel builds, custom build machines and duration, priority support, SSO, and signed SLAs, NDAs and DPAs. It is the clearest fit for organizations that need longer or tailored build capacity and formal support terms. The free individual plan includes community support.

Platforms

The platform coverage includes Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows and API. That breadth accompanies a product whose supported frameworks and release destinations are centered on mobile apps.

Who it's for

Codemagic is a strong fit for mobile developers and teams that need builds, checks, signing and app-store delivery tied to repository activity. Individuals can begin on the free plan; teams with recurring volume can choose fixed pricing, while usage-based billing suits less predictable demand. It is less compelling for teams that need more than three parallel builds on fixed or enterprise plans, or need long-running jobs without moving to Enterprise’s custom duration.

Pros and cons

Pros: Mobile framework coverage, signing support and deployment to four named stores bring key release steps together.

Pros: The Free plan provides 500 monthly minutes and 30 days of artifact and history retention, giving an individual room to evaluate a real workflow.

Pros: Fixed-price plans remove team-member and build-minute ceilings, and Enterprise adds custom machines and duration.

Cons: Free and pay-as-you-go plans allow only one parallel build, which can leave a team waiting when multiple jobs arrive together.

Cons: The 120-minute build cap on free, pay-as-you-go and fixed-price plans rules out jobs that routinely need more time.

Cons: The free plan is limited to one team member, and its 500 minutes refill monthly rather than providing unlimited capacity.

Alternatives

Bitrise is another freemium mobile CI/CD option; its Hobby plan is free forever for a team of one, with build credits for a small project a few times per month and community support. Choose it if that lighter free allowance fits better than Codemagic’s 500 monthly minutes.

Appcircle may suit a team that values a defined monthly starter quota: its free STARTER plan allows one concurrent build, 20 builds per month and a 30-minute maximum per build. Codemagic is the stronger fit when its longer free build duration and monthly minute allowance better match the workload.

Octopus Deploy, BuildMaster, GoCD, Argo Rollouts, CDS (Continuous Delivery Service) and KintoHub are other options to compare.

Browse Mobile CI/CD Software, Continuous Integration Software, Continuous Delivery Software or Game Build Automation Software for more choices by category.

Verdict

Choose Codemagic if mobile app releases are your priority and you want build automation, signing and store deployment connected to repository activity. Its free monthly allowance is useful for individual work, and paid plans expand capacity substantially. Look elsewhere if your jobs routinely exceed 120 minutes and you do not need or want Enterprise’s custom build duration.

Verdict

Codemagic combines mobile build automation with signing, repository connections, and store deployment. The free plan has defined team and build limits; teams needing more capacity can consider usage-based or paid plans.
