Revopush vs Codemagic CodePush for React Native OTA

Both Revopush and Codemagic CodePush are managed alternatives to the old App Center CodePush flow.

The bigger difference is product focus.

Revopush is built as a dedicated OTA platform for React Native teams.
Codemagic is a broader mobile CI/CD platform that also offers a hosted CodePush-compatible service.

That difference matters because OTA in production is not only about hosting a compatible server. It is also about:

• delivery efficiency
• release visibility
• React Native version support
• Expo support
• pricing at smaller and mid-sized MAU ranges

Comparison note: This page was updated on April 18, 2026 using current Revopush pricing and Codemagic's official documentation and product materials. Where a capability is described as missing for Codemagic, that reflects what is currently documented in their official materials.

Compare React Native OTA Solutions

Codemagic Is More Than "Just a Server"

It is worth being precise here.

Codemagic's current official CodePush page does not describe a bare server-only offer. They position CodePush as a hosted and managed service, and their docs describe a web-based analytics dashboard with:

• monthly usage analytics
• downloads
• installs
• failed installs
• per-release metrics

So the most accurate comparison is not "Revopush has a platform, Codemagic only has a server".

The better comparison is:

• Codemagic offers a managed CodePush-compatible service inside a larger CI/CD product
• Revopush offers a more focused OTA product with stronger OTA-specific differentiation

Where Revopush Pulls Ahead

The biggest product gap is diff updates.

Revopush supports diff updates from the first release, which means users can download only the changed parts of a bundle instead of repeatedly pulling a full update payload. That can reduce egress by up to 90%.

In Codemagic's current documentation and product materials, we did not find a documented diff-update or bundle-diffing feature. Their value proposition is centered on:

• managed CodePush hosting
• compatibility with the original Microsoft SDK
• analytics
• integration with Codemagic CI/CD

That is a valid product story, but it is not the same as having a differentiated OTA delivery layer.

Pricing: Lower Entry Point vs Bundled Bandwidth

Codemagic's pricing is straightforward:

• $99/month per 100K MAU
• no limit on updates and bandwidth

That bundled bandwidth model is simple, but the entry point is still materially higher than Revopush.

Revopush pricing currently starts at:

• $25/month for 50K MAU
• 100 GB included egress
• $0.03/GB over the limit

At the 50K MAU level, Revopush starts roughly 4x cheaper than Codemagic.

And the pricing comparison becomes more favorable once diff updates are part of the equation. Lower payload size means lower real traffic, faster installs, and less pressure on total OTA delivery cost.

Expo Support Is Also Different

Revopush supports Expo SDK integration today.

Codemagic documentation states that CodePush supports Expo apps using the Bare Workflow, while Managed Expo Workflow is not supported yet and is planned for the future.

That means the Expo story is currently broader on the Revopush side.

Summary

Revopush is a strong fit for teams that want:

• lower entry pricing
• dedicated OTA admin workflows
• modern React Native CLI support
• Expo SDK integration
• diff updates that can reduce egress by up to 90%
