Both platforms support Flutter, React Native, iOS, and Android. The difference is what happens when your team needs on-premise deployment, OTA distribution, or a predictable cost model at scale.

Codemagic is a cloud-only service. Lycan can be deployed entirely within your own network — on AWS, GCP, Azure, or on bare-metal hardware. For organisations with strict data-residency or air-gap requirements, Lycan is the only option.
Lycan ships with a full CodePush-compatible OTA update service, allowing you to push JavaScript bundle updates to React Native apps without an app store review cycle. Codemagic has no equivalent built-in offering.
Lycan Enterprise has no per-seat pricing. As your team grows, costs stay predictable. Codemagic charges per concurrency slot, which can become expensive at scale for larger engineering teams.
Lycan ships with AI features that no competitor offers: automatic code review posted to every PR, an autonomous agent that creates fix PRs when builds fail, error genome matching that finds similar past failures, and a deployment gate that uses AI confidence scoring to decide whether a release should proceed. These are not integrations — they are built into the CI/CD pipeline.
