Pricing that undercuts Expo & Codemagic
Expo Production is $199/mo and meters build credits. Codemagic charges $0.10/min for Mac builds. AppForge runs builds on our own free-CI backend, so we charge flat tiers — and the AI app generation is included.

What the price does NOT include (and why no tool can): the Apple Developer Program ($99/yr) and Google Play Developer ($25 one-time) accounts, plus their identity verification, are paid directly to Apple/Google and require your government ID. That gate is the stores', not ours — Expo, Codemagic, and Bitrise all leave it to you too. AppForge automates everything up to that click and walks you through it.
