EAS Build plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | On request | 2 | Entry tier |
| Paid tiers | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Free
On requestThe entry tier. It covers limited monthly builds that queue behind paying customers, sufficient for evaluation and hobby projects, not for a release cadence.
Paid tiers
On requestOver Free, this tier adds:
- Monthly subscription buying build concurrency and included minutes, with overage per minute above them
- macOS minutes cost several times Linux minutes, so iOS pipelines dominate the bill
What the product covers
The full EAS Build feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Hosted macOS and Linux workers
- Managed signing credentials
- Bare React Native support
- EAS Submit
- Internal distribution
- Build profiles
People bring EAS Build in for a react native team with no macos build machine that needs signed ios builds, removing signing credentials from individual laptops and putting them under an auditable service, shipping javascript only fixes through eas update without waiting on store review, distributing internal test builds by link to non technical reviewers. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to EAS Build are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Mobile Development
Too few mobile development tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the EAS Build badges page.
Before you pay for EAS Build
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
EAS Build runs on ios, android, and is published by Expo of Palo Alto, California, United States. The full record is on the EAS Build review, and the rest of the category is under best mobile development tools.
