Expo EAS Update bills on complex, volatile consumption meters: update MAUs ($0.005 per extra updated user) plus edge bandwidth ($0.10/GiB). Cresc uses fixed, predictable monthly tiers with worldwide CDN delivery included and zero surprise overage penalties. Coupled with HDiff delta updates (~42 KB vs multi-MB full bundles), Cresc saves most production teams 70% to 90% on their monthly OTA bills.
