Comparison
RNPush vs Stallion
Stallion's MAU tiers turn every growth milestone into a surprise bill. RNPush charges a flat monthly rate — grow from 100K to 1M users without touching your pricing plan.
Where Stallion Gets Expensive
Stallion's MAU-based model means pricing jumps at every tier boundary. RNPush stays flat once you hit Scale.
| MAU | RNCloud | BYOS | Stallion |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10K MAU(Hobby) | Free | Free | $0/mo(Free tier) |
| 100K MAU(Growth) | $49/mo | $29/mo | $64/mo(100K MAU tier) |
| 500K MAU(Scale) | $149/mo | $99/mo | ~$300+/mo(Est. interpolated) |
| 1M MAU(Scale (flat)) | $149/mo | $99/mo | $649/mo(1M MAU tier) |
Stallion pricing: free up to 10K MAU, $64/mo up to 100K MAU, $649/mo up to 1M MAU. 500K estimate is interpolated between published tiers. RNPush Scale covers unlimited MAU flat — $149/mo with RNCloud (managed CDN) or $99/mo with BYOS (connect your own S3/GCP/R2).

Why Teams Switch from Stallion
BYOS compliance at the architecture level
Stallion offers only a partial control plane — your bundles still pass through or are hosted on infrastructure you don't own. With RNPush BYOS, your JS bundles are stored and served directly from your own S3, GCP, or Cloudflare R2 bucket. RNPush handles routing and telemetry; your code never touches our servers. That means SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance lives inside your existing cloud account and audit trail, not in a vendor's SLA.
Auto-rollback that works before a network round-trip
Stallion has no built-in crash detection or automatic rollback. When a bad update ships, your users stay broken until you push a fix and it propagates — which can take hours. RNPush's native SDK tracks crash counts in MMKV or AsyncStorage. If your configured crash threshold is exceeded in the first few launches after an update, the SDK silently loads the previous stable bundle from local cache in under 3 seconds — no network request, no ops team intervention, no incident page.
Flat-rate pricing that doesn't punish success
Stallion's MAU tiers mean every growth milestone becomes a billing event. Going from 100K to 500K MAU? Expect your OTA bill to jump from $64/mo toward $300+ before you even touch 1M users. At 1M MAU Stallion charges $649/mo. RNPush Scale is $149/mo (RNCloud) or $99/mo (BYOS) and covers unlimited MAU — so the cost of shipping an update at 200K users is identical to the cost at 2M users. Predictable infrastructure bills let engineering teams focus on product instead of usage calculus.
Migrate from Stallion in 10 Minutes
No native code changes, no App Store submissions, no downtime.
- 1
npx rnpush initDetects your Expo or bare React Native project, prompts for your storage provider (S3 / GCP / R2), and generates rnpush.config.js in under a minute.
- 2
rnpush.config.jsSet your release channel (production, staging, preview) and configure crash-threshold for auto-rollback. No native code changes required.
- 3
npx rnpush push --channel productionReplace your Stallion publish command with this one line. Your bundle is binary-diffed, signed, and uploaded directly to your own storage bucket.
- 4
Done. Your users fetch updates from your bucket at standard cloud-provider rates. No MAU counters, no surprise bills, and auto-rollback guards every release.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is RNPush a good Stallion alternative for React Native OTA updates?
- Yes. RNPush offers flat-rate pricing (no MAU tiers), BYOS so your bundles stay in your own cloud storage, built-in auto-rollback on crash, and server-driven A/B testing — all features Stallion either lacks or charges extra for. Migration takes about 10 minutes with the RNPush CLI.
- How does RNPush pricing compare to Stallion at 1M MAU?
- Stallion charges $649/mo at 1M MAU. RNPush Scale is $149/mo (RNCloud managed CDN) or $99/mo (BYOS — connect your own S3/GCP/R2) and covers unlimited MAU — a saving of $500–$550/mo. Because RNPush uses flat-rate pricing, hitting 2M or 5M MAU does not change your bill.
- Does Stallion support Bring Your Own Storage?
- Stallion offers partial control plane access but does not support true BYOS. Your bundles are still served from infrastructure you don't control. RNPush BYOS routes bundles through your own S3, GCP, or R2 bucket — RNPush servers never see your compiled JS code.
- Can I migrate from Stallion without changing my native code?
- Yes. The npx rnpush init command detects your project setup and generates all required configuration. No changes to native iOS or Android code are required, and no App Store or Play Store submission is needed. Most teams complete migration in under 10 minutes.
