Codemagic pricing in 2026
./codemagic --free --pay-as-you-go --annual

By Oliver Wakefield-Smith, Founder, Digital Signet·Verified June 2026

Codemagic is a mobile-first CI/CD platform built by Nevercode, the same team behind much of the Flutter tooling ecosystem. It competes most directly with Bitrise: both target iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native teams that need managed macOS runners and app-store deploy automation without assembling generic CI actions by hand. Where they differ is the pricing model, and that difference decides which one is cheaper for your volume.

Pay-as-you-go per-minute rates

On pay-as-you-go you pay only for the minutes you build, at a rate set by the machine class. iOS and macOS work must run on the Mac instances; Android, Flutter, React Native and web builds can run on the far cheaper Linux X2 machine.

# The 20-minute-build column is our arithmetic over the published per-minute rate (rate × 20). Source: codemagic.io/pricing, checked July 2026.

Worked example: an iOS team

Take a team shipping an iOS app with 30 builds a day, 20 minutes each, on Mac mini M2 machines, over 21 working days. That is 30 × 20 × 21 = 12,600 macOS minutes a month. Here is the same workload priced three ways.

ModelMonthly costHow it is worked out
Pay-as-you-go~$1,19712,600 min × $0.095
Annual M2 plan~$332.50$3,990 / yr ÷ 12, unlimited minutes
Free tierCovers ~25 builds500 min ÷ 20-min build

# The break-even is $332.50 ÷ $0.095 ≈ 3,500 macOS M2 minutes a month. Below it, pay-as-you-go wins; above it, the flat annual plan does. These are transparent models over the published rates, not quotes.

Codemagic vs Bitrise

The two mobile-CI leaders price differently. Bitrise layers a flat plan fee (Starter $99, Pro $218 per month) on top of metered build credits, with macOS Large around $0.0096 per minute. Codemagic has no per-seat or plan fee on pay-as-you-go, metering Mac M2 at $0.095 per minute, or a flat $3,990/year for unlimited Mac M2 minutes. For low, bursty volume Codemagic pay-as-you-go avoids any monthly commitment; for steady high-volume Mac builds the flat annual plans on either side dominate the per-minute maths. Flutter teams often prefer Codemagic for its native Flutter workflows; broader iOS/Android shops split fairly evenly.

Tips to keep the Codemagic bill down

  • > Run Android, Flutter and web legs on Linux X2 ($0.045/min), not Mac. Reserve the Mac machines for the iOS build and archive steps only.
  • > Cache CocoaPods, Gradle and pub dependencies so a 20-minute build does not spend half its minutes re-downloading.
  • > Cross the ~3,500 macOS-minute break-even and switch from pay-as-you-go to the flat annual plan; below it, stay metered.
  • > Only buy extra concurrency slots (from $1,500/year) if queue time is actually blocking releases; one M2 plan with three concurrent builds covers most small teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

# click any question to expand

How much does Codemagic cost in 2026?>
Codemagic has three ways to pay. The free tier gives 500 macOS M2 minutes per month with one concurrent build. Pay-as-you-go bills per build minute by machine type: $0.045 for Linux X2 or Windows, $0.095 for a Mac mini M2, and $0.114 for a Mac mini M4. Flat annual plans start at $3,990 per year (the M2 plan) and include unlimited build minutes, unlimited users, and three concurrent builds; the M4 plan is $5,400 and M4 Max is $9,000 per year. Enterprise starts from $12,000 per year. Prices from codemagic.io/pricing, checked July 2026.
Is Codemagic free?>
There is a free tier: 500 macOS M2 build minutes per month with a single concurrent build, and unlimited applications. At a typical 20-minute iOS build that is about 25 builds a month, enough for a solo developer or evaluating the platform. Beyond that you either switch to pay-as-you-go per-minute billing or move to a flat annual plan. Open-source projects can apply for additional free minutes.
How do Codemagic pay-as-you-go rates work?>
Pay-as-you-go meters the actual build minutes you consume at a per-machine rate: Linux X2 and Windows at $0.045 per minute, Mac mini M2 at $0.095 per minute, and Mac mini M4 at $0.114 per minute. There is no seat fee on pay-as-you-go, so a small team pays only for compute. It is the cheapest model at low volume; above roughly 3,500 macOS M2 minutes a month the flat annual plan becomes cheaper.
When is the flat annual plan cheaper than pay-as-you-go?>
The $3,990/year M2 plan works out to about $332.50 per month for unlimited Mac M2 minutes. Divided by the $0.095 pay-as-you-go rate, the break-even is roughly 3,500 macOS M2 minutes per month. Below that, pay-as-you-go is cheaper; above it, the flat plan is. A busy iOS team running 30 builds a day at 20 minutes each burns about 12,600 macOS minutes a month, which would cost around $1,197 on pay-as-you-go versus $332.50 on the annual plan, so the flat plan wins decisively at that volume.
Is Codemagic cheaper than Bitrise for iOS builds?>
On raw compute they are close, but the pricing shape differs. Bitrise charges a flat plan fee (Starter $99, Pro $218 per month) plus build credits, with macOS Large metering around $0.0096 per minute of build time. Codemagic pay-as-you-go meters a Mac mini M2 at $0.095 per minute with no plan fee, or offers a flat $3,990/year unlimited plan. For low, bursty volume Codemagic pay-as-you-go avoids a monthly plan fee entirely; for steady high-volume Mac builds the flat annual plans on either platform dominate. Codemagic is especially popular with Flutter teams because it was built by the Flutter-tooling company Nevercode and ships first-class Flutter workflows.
What machine types does Codemagic offer?>
Codemagic runs Apple silicon Mac minis (M2 and M4), Linux X2, and Windows machines. iOS and macOS builds must run on the Mac instances; Flutter, Android, React Native and web builds can run on the cheaper Linux X2 machine at $0.045 per minute. Choosing the right machine per workflow (Linux for Android, Mac only for the iOS leg) is the main lever for keeping the bill down.
Does Codemagic charge per user?>
No. Unlike seat-priced platforms, Codemagic does not charge per user on any plan: the free tier, pay-as-you-go, and the flat annual plans all include unlimited team members. You pay for build compute (per minute on pay-as-you-go) or for concurrency (on the flat annual plans, where extra concurrent-build slots cost from $1,500 per year). That makes it attractive for larger mobile teams where per-seat CI pricing would compound quickly.
