Why Teams Choose DeployBuilds Over Diawi
No Link Expiration
Diawi free links expire after 7 days, forcing teams to re-upload builds. DeployBuilds premium links are permanent, so testers and clients can always access the latest version.
Larger Build Support
Upload builds up to 500 MB on DeployBuilds. No need to compress assets or strip debug symbols just to fit within upload limits.
Google Drive Storage
Your builds live in your own Google Drive. You retain full ownership and can access files directly from Drive even without DeployBuilds.
AI-Powered Release Notes
Automatically generate meaningful release notes from your build metadata instead of manually typing them for every upload.
Full CI/CD Pipeline Support
Create API keys and integrate with GitHub Actions, Bitrise, CircleCI, or any CI platform. Auto-upload builds on every commit or tag.
App-Level Organization
Builds are grouped by app with version tracking, timestamps, and a searchable dashboard. No more hunting through a list of individual uploads.
Built-In Team Collaboration
Upload a build and choose a public install link or team-only access. Invite teammates, leave notes, and request reviews, included free. Diawi has no equivalent.
