What Expo Application Services is
Expo Application Services (EAS) is a cloud service for building and deploying applications for both Android and iOS. It includes signing management and store submission, along with hosted macOS and CI/CD workflows. The service is available on the web, and its plans combine build capacity with monthly active user (MAU) allowances. The Free plan costs nothing, billed monthly, and includes 15 Android builds, 15 iOS builds, 60 minutes of CI/CD workflows, one concurrency, and 1,000 MAUs. Starter costs $19 a month, plus additional usage costs; it provides $45 in build credit, one concurrency, 3,000 MAUs, and a two-hour build timeout. Production costs $199 a month, plus additional usage costs, with $225 in build credit, two concurrencies, 50,000 MAUs, and 10 environment-variable environments. EAS was founded in 2015.
