About
AppHost is a hosted service for distributing iOS and Android app packages to testers and internal users through a single private download link. It generates platform-specific download pages, creates iOS manifest.plist files for over-the-air installation, and provides an app version API plus a package inspector for IPA and APK metadata.
The free plan includes 5 apps, 50 monthly downloads, unlimited link age, and a 100 MB maximum file size. It is aimed at companies and developers that need private mobile app distribution without running their own hosting or MDM stack.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable, but it is capped at 5 apps, 50 monthly downloads, and 100 MB per app, so it sits well below the cheapest paid plan. Compared with Basic at $2.99/month, it delivers roughly half the capacity on the main limits and keeps the core APIs and unlimited link age, so a fair buyer-side estimate is about $1.50/month. A credit card is required to sign up, and the offer is perpetual but still clearly quota-limited.
