Comparison
AppDeploy vs Applivery
Applivery or AppDeploy? Compare Applivery App Distribution’s tiered plans and download caps with Apple-focused private app delivery, using dated public sources.
Two products that overlap on one job
Applivery is an API-first platform with two halves: a multi-OS device-management product (Android, Apple, Windows) and an App Distribution product — an enterprise app store for unmanaged devices. AppDeploy overlaps with Applivery on one job: getting private apps to employees.
AppDeploy is Apple-focused and built around Apple Business (formerly Apple Business Manager): a branded portal for company apps on iPhone and iPad (signed Android APK delivery is available on Enterprise), with AutoDeploy device management for the company iPhones, iPads and Macs your apps install on, audit trails, and compliance evidence built in.
Plans without download meters
Applivery App Distribution is sold in tiers with caps on apps, monthly downloads and users (checked on applivery.com on 27 September 2026). This page quotes no Applivery prices.
AppDeploy Distribution is £219/year (or £29/month) with unlimited apps (fair use), unlimited portal users and the custom domain included, the same with or without managed devices. Managed devices are separate: the first 5 are free and each further device is £1 a month. There is no download meter to watch.
These are AppDeploy's published prices, in pounds and excluding VAT, GST and other sales taxes.
Audit, compliance and Apple depth
AppDeploy carries the operational layer regulated buyers ask about: append-only audit logs with CSV export, compliance snapshots with honest three-state results, checksummed Evidence Packs of release, device and audit records, a GDPR data processing agreement that applies to every customer by default, and personal data hosted in Glasgow, United Kingdom by default.
On the Apple side, AppDeploy provides Apple Business Apps and Books sync, Managed Apple Account workflows and zero-touch (ADE) enrolment through AutoDeploy, with Release Guard checks, Risk Forecast and Evidence Packs on managed devices.
What AppDeploy is built for
AppDeploy is built for production apps that staff rely on every day, not beta builds. On the devices you manage, Release Guard checks each build, with Risk Forecast and Evidence Packs.
AppDeploy manages iPhones, iPads and Macs on macOS 14 or later through AutoDeploy, with the first 5 devices free. It does not manage Windows or Android devices; signed Android APK delivery is available on Enterprise.
