Comparison
AirBuild vs Diawi
AirBuild and Diawi both generate instant install links for iOS and Android builds, but AirBuild adds team roles, persistent per-app analytics, automatic UDID capture, custom branding, and a full REST API/CLI — capabilities Diawi's link-focused tool doesn't cover.

|---|---|---|
| Instant install links + QR code | Yes | Yes |
| iOS OTA (.plist/itms-services) install | Yes | Yes |
| Automatic UDID capture (.mobileconfig) | Yes | No |
| Team roles (Owner/Admin/Developer/Tester/Guest) | Yes | No |
| Per-app/per-build analytics dashboard | Yes | Limited |
| CSV export of install/download logs | Yes | No |
| Custom branding on install pages | Yes | No |

| Password-protected & expiring links | Yes | Yes |
| Persistent app/build history | Yes | Time-limited |
Which should you pick?
Diawi is a fast, no-signup way to get a one-off install link out the door. AirBuild is built for teams that need that same speed plus persistent app/build history, role-based access, automatic UDID capture for ad-hoc iOS, and analytics you can actually report on over time.
Frequently asked questions
Does Diawi support automatic UDID capture?
No — Diawi focuses on generating install links; AirBuild automatically captures device UDIDs via a .mobileconfig profile during install, without manual collection.
Do Diawi links expire?
Diawi links are time-limited by design on its free tier; AirBuild lets you choose your own expiry by date or install count, or leave a link open indefinitely on paid plans.
