Diawi alternative: install links that don't expire
Diawi is a quick way to turn an APK or IPA into an install link and QR code. It's simple, and many developers use it for one-off sharing.
Digidropp keeps that simplicity but is built for apps you ship again and again: the same link always installs the newest build, and builds can arrive automatically from GitHub or your terminal.
| Digidropp | Diawi | |
|---|---|---|
| Install link | One permanent link per app; each new build replaces what it installs. | A link per upload; free links are temporary. |
| Version history | Every build kept with release notes, branch and commit. | Focused on single uploads. |
| Automatic builds | Connect a GitHub repo; every push builds and uploads. | Upload by hand or through its API. |
| Pull request previews | Install link + QR code comment on every PR. | Not built in. |
| Checks before install | Signing key, versionCode, permissions, iOS profiles and more. | Not a focus of the product. |
| CLI and AI agents | digidropp deploy from the terminal; MCP server for AI coding agents. | API available. |
| Price | Free during the public beta. | Free tier with limits; paid plans. |
When Diawi is the better choice
- You need a single quick link for a one-off share and don't want to set anything up.
When Digidropp is the better choice
- You share builds regularly and want testers to bookmark one link.
- You want builds from GitHub, your terminal or your AI agent, with history and release notes.
FAQ
Do Digidropp links expire?
Your app's main link never expires: the latest build is always kept. During the beta, older builds are deleted after 15 days.
Does it work for iOS too?
Yes, for Ad Hoc, Development and Enterprise-signed IPAs. Testers install from Safari.
