Release infrastructure that stays out of your way.
Airlift orchestrates signing, staging, and global delivery for iOS and Android while your app keeps the standard Expo client, whether you're a three-person team or a multi-app org.
02
Roll back in seconds
Every release is immutable and retained. Pause a rollout or retarget production to a known-good build without a store resubmit.
03
Pay for delivery, not users
No MAU tax as you grow. Transparent transfer limits, predictable overages, and pricing that stays fair from seed to series C.
04
Keys you control
Sign releases locally with your own keys. Airlift validates and delivers. You keep cryptographic ownership of what ships.
Case study
Visit LimitlessLimitless
From store bottlenecks to same-day shipping on a live fitness app.
Problem
Limitless ships workout and coaching changes constantly. Waiting on App Store and Play review left fixes in limbo, and MAU-priced OTA services got more expensive the more people used the app.
Solution
Limitless runs production OTAs on Airlift with the stock expo-updates client. No proprietary SDK, no per-user fees. Publish to a channel, point production at it, and roll back if something slips.
Impact
iOS and Android get JS updates without a store cycle. Release managers keep signed history and instant rollback. Airlift is proven on a live fitness product before it asks anyone else to trust it.

From$99/mo
No per-user charge. Same transfer at $0.10/GB is about $40 before plan or MAU fees. Useful when comparing vendors as you scale.
Illustrative estimate based on full update size. Actual transfer varies with caching, release frequency, assets, and client behaviour.
