About
DistApp is a self-hostable app distribution service for Android, iOS, and desktop builds. It accepts APK, AAB, and IPA uploads through a web dashboard or CLI, then generates shareable links and QR codes for testers and users to install builds without a store review.
The service supports public and private apps, groups and organizations, retention policies for old artifacts, and Docker plus S3-compatible storage for self-hosted deployments. The free offering includes 100 MB artifact storage, up to 2 apps, up to 1 organization, and 100 MB upload size.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a small but real monthly allowance: 100 MB of artifact storage, 2 apps, 1 organization, and 100 MB uploads. The cheapest paid plan is $5/month for 5 GB storage and much higher limits, so the free tier is worth about the full $5 in practical value even though it is tightly capped and the paid service is only needed once those limits are exceeded. A credit card is not required to get started, and the offer is perpetual rather than time-limited.
