The short version
Stallion is a polished, managed-only OTA service. AeroPush gives you the same managed-grade dashboard but is self-hostable — the sweet spot between bare self-hosted tools and managed-only platforms. If data residency, cost control, or simply owning your update pipeline matters to you, AeroPush is the better fit.

Where AeroPush pulls ahead
- Own your pipeline. Self-host on your infrastructure — no third party holds your bundles or your users’ update telemetry.
- Smaller downloads. Differential patches ship only the diff between versions — up to ~99% smaller than a full bundle — so updates land faster on slow networks.
- Safety by default. Automatic crash rollback and native-fingerprint gating are on every plan, including free.
When Stallion might suit you
If you never want to run any infrastructure and a fully managed service is a hard requirement, Stallion is a reasonable choice. AeroPush is aimed at teams who want that managed experience and the option to keep everything in-house.
