Normal developers can use this but they can only sign their apps using an Ad Hoc provisioning profile. Ad Hoc signing requires to add testing device id’s to apple accout, which is a manual task.
Enterprise signing eliminates all the device adding work.
We're only offering our Enterprise App Store feature with AppSumo and not CI/CD due to the high infrastructure costs CI/CD builds bring. Most of the price paid for our Developer and higher plans go to covering our costs to provide fast M1 Macs to build your mobile projects. Therefore providing a lifetime deal for a professional plan at this price wasn't feasible. We can think about adding another price tier but its price would be way higher.
The AppSumo deal gives you access to 1000 downloads/month instead of 100/month in the Starter & Developer plans.
Thank you for the question. We are a dedicated team to help mobile developers at every stage. Appcircle CI/CD is already a successful product with many small to enterprise-sized customers, and we don't plan to disappear. The Enterprise App Store is currently in use by more than 10 enterprise customers with more than 1000 employees.
To answer your question, no, even if your store gets closed, your apps will continue to run on your employees' devices. You just won't be able to send a new version.
I have two questions: 1. Do you offer custom domains with this offer? 2. I was testing the app, and I was presented with two options: CI/CD and Enterprise App Store. What is the difference between these two? 3. I'm a mobile developer, with a client base. Could I use this to create my own app store to distribute the apps I create for my clients? Thanks.
1. Unfortunately AppSumo Deal doesn't include custom domains. If you still want to use custom domains, you can send an email to sales [at] appcircle.io.
2. Appcircle consists of 2 main features: Mobile CI/CD platform and Enterprise App Store. The CI/CD is for mobile developers to setup Continuous Integration for Obj-C/Swift, Java/Kotlin, Flutter and React Native apps. You can build your apps, run your tests and run a wide variety of mobile development steps without configuring a .yml file, all from a drag-and-drop user interface. We use Apple Silicon M1 macs to run all these tasks.
Enterprise App Store is for distributing apps that are not meant to be on the App Store, line in-house apps for your employees. We provide you your own App Store where your employees can log in and download in-house apps. AppSumo Deal offers a generous plan for the Enterprise App Store feature.
3. Yes, you can use Appcircle to distribute your apps to list of testers and also to Testflight / Firebase / Apple App Store / Google Play Store / Google Play Beta Channels / Huawei App Gallery.
Thank you for all your questions.
Q: Can this be used to sell an enterprise service to clients?

Q: Is this mapped to a CI / CD plan or is this simply for the enterprise app store?
Custom domain for the app store is needed -- any plans to add this to this deal?
Share Appcircle Enterprise App Store
Hi, thanks for your questions
This is mapped for the enterprise app store. CI/CD benefits are the same as our free plan.
No the Custom Domains feature is not included with the AppSumo deal. But since this is asked by many, we're considering it internally.
hope you can give custom cname for domain and email
Q: Do we need an enterprise apple developer account for this or a normal developer account (Individual or Org) can also use this?

Q: Hi!
Do i still need a developer account with Apple?
Share Appcircle Enterprise App Store
Hi,
After purchasing our product, a developer account is still required.
Q: I noticed what you are offering is the Starter Plan.
When I sign up it looks very similar to the Free Tier which is also called the Starter Plan (with the AppSumo Deal).
I'm not sure what's the difference when I redeemed the AppSumo code from the Free Tier?
Why are you not offering the Developer plan instead?
