About

Expo is a full-stack React Native framework and app platform that helps teams build, ship, and iterate on mobile and web applications from a single codebase.

It combines developer tooling, cloud services, and deployment workflows to support the full app lifecycle, from local development and device testing to builds, updates, hosting, and release automation.

  • React Native framework with production-ready libraries and native modules
  • Cloud services for builds, over-the-air updates, hosting, and CI/CD workflows
  • Tools for device-based development, bundle inspection, and release management
  • Support for Android, iOS, and web distribution

Free Tier Value

Feature parity 55%

Expo’s Free plan is explicitly capped, not unbounded: it includes 15 Android and 15 iOS builds, 60 CI/CD minutes, 1,000 MAUs for updates, 25 projects, and hosting limits such as 100,000 requests/month and 1 GB storage. Because the page does not provide a direct paid overage rate for the free-plan caps themselves, a conservative monthly free-tier value cannot be reliably computed from the available pricing text, so it is set to null. Feature parity is moderate because the free tier includes core build/update/hosting functionality but excludes higher-priority queues, larger workers, higher MAU caps, and support/security features available on paid plans.
