Release Flight vs Fastlane, Bitrise & Codemagic.
Release Flight is the best fit when you want one self-hosted control surface for the entire release — store metadata, screenshots, app previews, ASO intelligence, and a build/deploy pipeline — across iOS and Android. Fastlane, Bitrise, and Codemagic are excellent at the build-and-ship slice, but each leaves the storefront and ASO work to other tools. The pages below break down exactly where each option is strongest.
