Comparison
AirBuild vs TestApp.io
AirBuild and TestApp.io both target internal/beta distribution for iOS and Android, but AirBuild differentiates with GST-ready multi-currency billing built for India-based teams, portable referral credits, and a Go CLI designed for straightforward CI/CD scripting.

|---|---|---|
| iOS + Android build distribution | Yes | Yes |
| Automatic UDID capture (.mobileconfig) | Yes | Yes |
| Team roles with server-enforced permissions | Yes | Yes |

| INR billing with GST invoicing | Yes | No |
| Referral credits portable across orgs | Yes | No |
| Go CLI for CI/CD | Yes | Node-based CLI |

Which should you pick?
Both platforms cover the core ad-hoc distribution workflow well. If you're an India-based team that needs GST-compliant invoicing and INR-first billing without a currency conversion detour, or you want a single static-binary CLI with no runtime dependency, AirBuild is the more direct fit.
Frequently asked questions
Does TestApp.io bill in INR with GST invoices?
TestApp.io's billing is not INR/GST-native; AirBuild computes GST (CGST/SGST or IGST based on state) and generates compliant invoices automatically for India-based organizations.
Is AirBuild's CLI a compiled binary or does it need a runtime?
AirBuild's CLI is written in Go and cross-compiled to a single static binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows, with no Node.js or other runtime required.
