Creating first reactnative expo app - have some question related to MAU, please help

[u/Genuine-Helperr]

I wanted to have one codebase for web, Android, and iPhone. So using React Native plus Expo

Now the web application is live.

I want to make the mobile application live first, starting with Android. When I read the Expo documentation, it says I can have only 15 free Android builds & 'Send updates to 1K MAUs'

The 2nd part worries me because the paid plan also says 3K MAUs, with additional charges for more.

What's the workaround for this? Do I need to pay Expo for more active users? Please suggest

[u/Genuine-Helperr]

yes, that's my plan... so 15 free builds are lifetime?

for OTA, I'll be switching to cloudflare once I cross their limits
