Why does it matter for agencies?
OtaKit lets agencies push web bundle updates to Capacitor apps without app store review, and its Free tier covers 5,000 updates per month across unlimited apps and releases, so a shop can onboard its first client at $0 infrastructure cost. The Pro plan at $50 monthly (or $25 billed annually) raises that to 1,000,000 updates, which means the marginal cost of adding client apps stays near zero while the agency bills each one a release-management retainer. The catch is scope: OtaKit only works with Capacitor, so the resale opportunity exists solely for shops already serving those clients.
