AppForShare vs Zunoy AppShare and ShareIPA
Zunoy AppShare is a build sharing service from Mentcube Innovations Pvt Ltd in Bengaluru, India, part of the Zunoy suite of small business tools under one login. ShareIPA (shareipa.com) is its free, no login sibling: drop an .ipa or .apk, get a link. As listed on November 6, 2026, AppShare has a Free plan and paid plans at $7, $14 and $29 a month (INR 599, 999 and 1,999 on the same page), with links that last 15 to 90 days and downloads counted per app.
Much of the daily job is the same on both: a link and a QR code per build, a password, a link that always serves the newest build (their Persistent URL, our channel link), a CLI, an MCP server for AI tools, test logins on the install page, Telegram alerts, star ratings and permissions in plain words. The jobs differ on link life, iPhone device registration, .aab uploads and the store steps after testing.
Pick AppForShare if
- You want links that stay live while you subscribe, with no download cap per app. AppShare links end after 15 to 90 days by plan and count 50 to 200 downloads per app.
- You build Android App Bundles: an .aab becomes one APK testers install (Free and up). AppShare's pages describe IPA and APK installs only.
- You want iPhones registered on Apple from an onboarding link with your App Store Connect key (Pro), and on Team a hands free flow that also remakes the profile and starts the build. AppShare keeps a UDID list and leaves signing to you.
- You want every build checked against App Store and Google Play rules, then sent to TestFlight or a Google Play track, with a listing editor, App Store review checklist and rollouts (Pro and Team).
- Your testers and clients should install in their own language: 13 install page languages including Hindi, Urdu, Bengali and Arabic.
- You upload from CI and want more than one command: release notes, channels, a readiness gate and pull request comments from the CLI, a GitHub Action, fastlane and Gradle plugins, and Diawi and Pgyer compatible APIs (Pro and Team).
- You want feedback with screenshots from the install page or from inside the build with no SDK, replies by email (Team) and Linear or Jira issues (Pro and Team).
- You want install pages that are never indexed and never listed on a public wall of apps.
- You deliver apps to clients and want a client portal with agreements and version sign-offs.
Pick Zunoy AppShare if

- You want CLI and CI uploads on a free plan. Ours start with Pro.
- You need many team members without paying per seat: AppShare's pricing page lists unlimited team members on every plan. Free and Pro are one seat here, Team has 5 and then $6 a seat.
- You want a cheaper first paid plan ($7 a month) or a price in INR or AED.
- You want a native Android app for invited testers. Our tester app is a home screen web app on Team.
- You need SMS or voice call alerts.
- You are an NGO or an early stage startup that fits their discount programs; we have no coupons.
- You want a custom domain below the top plan, or up to 3 domains. Ours is one per workspace on Team.

ShareIPA vs AppForShare without an account
Said plainly, ShareIPA gives more without an account today. As listed on November 6, 2026, it takes files up to 250 MB, keeps a link up to 7 days, lets you set a password, and gives you an admin URL and tester feedback. AppForShare without an account takes 50 MB for 3 days, with 20 installs per link and 4 a day, and no password.
What a guest gets on AppForShare is a private manage link (the key stays after # in the address, so it never reaches our servers or logs) with installs, time left and tester feedback, a way to end the link sooner, install help that says why an iPhone install will fail, permissions in plain words, and 13 install page languages. The install page is never indexed and never listed. A free account then raises the limits to 150 MB, 7 day links, a password and .aab uploads.
Why links that expire matter for client demos
On AppShare the longest link is 90 days, on the $29 Business plan, and every Quick Release follows the plan's maximum expiry. A client review that runs a quarter, or a build kept for a sales demo, means uploading again and sending a new link. Downloads are also counted per app, from 50 on Free to 200 on Business.
On AppForShare Pro ($12 a month, $5.99 in India) and Team, links stay live while you subscribe, and a channel link always opens the newest build, so the client keeps one bookmark. Downloads are counted as bandwidth per month, not per app.
Where Zunoy AppShare is ahead
AppShare's free account is bigger than ours (300 MB, 15 day links, 3 apps), it puts the CLI on the free plan, and its pricing page lists unlimited team members and testers on every plan. Its first paid plan is $7 a month, with prices in INR and AED. It offers SMS and voice call alerts, an Android app for invited testers, discounts for NGOs and early stage startups, a custom domain on more than one plan and EU hosting. If those matter most, it is a fair choice.
