    Compare the free 500 minutes/month against your actual build frequency: past that, pay-as-you-go at $0.045/min (Linux/Windows) or $0.095+/min (Mac) is the real monthly cost to model.

    About

    In practice. What you can do with Codemagic.

    Codemagic runs CI/CD pipelines for Flutter, React Native, native iOS/Android, Ionic, Unity and .NET MAUI, automating code signing, building, uploading new app versions and store submissions, configured through the UI or a codemagic.yaml file.

    The free plan includes 500 macOS build minutes a month with 1 parallel build. Beyond that, Pay as You Go bills $0.045/minute for Linux/Windows builds and $0.095-0.114/minute for Mac builds, with fixed-price and enterprise tiers (from $3,990/year) available for teams needing guaranteed concurrency. It suits a developer or small team building mobile apps who wants to automate releases without running dedicated build servers.

    Practical uses

    • Set up automated builds, code signing and store submission for a Flutter or React Native app without maintaining your own build servers.
    • Move from the free 500-minutes tier to pay-as-you-go pricing as an app's build volume grows, without committing to a fixed annual plan.

    Features & use cases

    Devops

    Pros and cons. What Codemagic does well, and what to expect.

    Pros

    • Covers a wide range of mobile frameworks (Flutter, React Native, native, Ionic, Unity, .NET MAUI) in one CI/CD service.
    • Pay-as-you-go pricing has no base subscription fee for Linux/Windows builds.

    Cons

    • Mac build minutes cost roughly double to 2.5x Linux/Windows minutes, which adds up fast for iOS-heavy pipelines.
    • Single sign-on is Enterprise-only, unavailable even on the Fixed Price tiers.

    When it makes sense. Keep Codemagic, or challenge it?

    Keep if

    • You build for Flutter, React Native or native mobile and want CI/CD that handles code signing and store submission without your own build servers.

    Challenge if

    • Your pipeline is mostly iOS builds at high volume and Mac-minute pricing would outweigh the flexibility of usage-based billing.

    Our verdict. What to know about Codemagic.

    Why this verdict

    Average

    Added value

    Pay-as-you-go starts at $0.045/min for Linux/Windows builds with no base fee, letting a solo developer pay only for what's used, but Mac build minutes cost 2-2.5x more, which matters for iOS-heavy pipelines.

    Fit for purpose

    Automates code signing, building, uploading and store submissions across Flutter, React Native, native iOS/Android, Ionic, Unity and .NET MAUI, configurable via UI or codemagic.yaml.

    Performance

    Covers a broad set of mobile frameworks and offers fixed-price and enterprise tiers with more concurrency, but single sign-on is Enterprise-only, unavailable even on the Fixed Price tiers.

    Reversibility

    Neutral score: export or portability of build configurations and history is not covered by the collected sources.
