Expo
Build native apps with React
Expo is a platform for building, testing, distributing, and monitoring native apps for iOS, Android, and the web from a single React codebase. It addresses the need to manage builds, releases, updates, and production observability across platforms without separate tooling for each.
Core capabilities include the Expo CLI and dev tools, Expo Go for on-device testing, cloud simulators and device infrastructure, Workflows for CI/CD automation, Builds for app store submissions, Update for over-the-air releases with channels and rollouts, Launch for store distribution, and Observe for crash information, performance metrics, and update adoption. An MCP connector supports AI-assisted development, and the platform integrates with TestFlight and the app stores.
Expo serves solo developers, teams, and enterprises. It is packaged as a free plan for individual use, with Starter, Production, and Enterprise tiers that add build credits, concurrency, MAU allowances, SSO, audit logging, and SLAs; usage costs apply beyond included allowances. SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, and CCPA compliance are documented, with MFA and SSO available for enterprise subscribers.
