Pricing Comparison
Fixed tiers, no runaway bill.
Expo EAS Update and Cresc use different meters. Expo counts unique users who download an update in a monthly billing period, plus edge bandwidth. Cresc uses fixed monthly tiers based on daily update checks, with CDN delivery included. There is no hidden usage meter that turns a traffic spike into a surprise invoice. Pick the tier that fits real traffic, then upgrade only when the app needs more headroom.

Expo counts update MAUs only when a device downloads at least one update during the billing period. Users who only check for updates are not counted as update MAUs.
Same monthly scenarios
Same basisFirst paid tier
Expo: Starter is $19/mo, then usage-based billing after 3K update MAUs and 100 GiB.
Cresc: Standard is $19/mo with 10K update checks per day, CDN delivery included, and no automatic overage bill.
Production traffic
Expo: Production is $199/mo, then usage-based billing after 50K update MAUs and 1 TiB.
Cresc: Pro is $99/mo with 1M update checks per day. Upgrade when real traffic needs more headroom.
High volume
Expo: Enterprise pricing is custom, so there is no public monthly number to compare.
Cresc: Max and Ultra are fixed public tiers at $399/mo and $1,699/mo, so capacity planning stays explicit.
The direct difference is not that one "daily query" equals one Expo MAU. The difference is billing behavior: Cresc stops at the tier you choose, while Expo can add usage charges for update MAUs and bandwidth after the plan allowance.
Cresc upgrade path
Fixed tiersStart with the tier that covers current release traffic. Upgrading changes the allowance, not the app integration or release flow, so teams can add capacity when real usage requires it instead of buying too much headroom early.
