Comparison
RNPush vs Expo EAS
Expo EAS charges by the user and by the gigabyte. RNPush charges a flat monthly rate — that's the whole story.
What You'd Actually Pay
Real monthly cost at each scale. Expo EAS Production plan + MAU overages at $0.005/user + bandwidth.
| MAU | RNPush | Expo EAS | Your saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5K MAU | Free(Hobby) | $19/mo | $19/mo |
| 50K MAU | $49/mo(Growth) | $199/mo | $150/mo |
| 100K MAU | $49/mo(Growth) | ~$449/mo | ~$400/mo |
| 500K MAU | $149/mo(Scale) | ~$2,449/mo | ~$2,300/mo |
Expo EAS Production plan costs $199/mo and covers 50K MAU. Each additional MAU costs $0.005. At 100K MAU that's $199 + $250 = $449/mo, before bandwidth.

Why Teams Switch
The bandwidth trap
Expo EAS charges $0.10 per GiB of egress. At 100K users pushing a 10MB bundle 4× a month, that's ~4TB of egress — $400/mo in bandwidth alone, on top of your plan fee. With RNPush BYOS, egress is billed by your cloud provider at standard rates (typically $0.009/GiB on S3), and binary diffing compresses that 10MB bundle down to ~94KB anyway.
Your code, their servers
With Expo EAS, every bundle you push lives on Expo's CDN. You have no control over where your compiled code is stored, who can access it, or how long it's retained. Under RNPush BYOS, your bundles stay in your own S3, GCP, or R2 bucket — subject to your own IAM policies, encryption settings, and audit trails. SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance live inside your existing cloud account.
No safety net
Expo EAS has no built-in crash detection or auto-rollback. If a bad update crashes your app, users are stuck on that broken version until you push a fix — and then wait for it to propagate. RNPush's native SDK tracks crash counts in local storage. If the crash threshold is exceeded in the first few launches, the SDK reverts to the last stable bundle in under 3 seconds, before any network request.
