DeviceCloud is a third-party Maestro Cloud alternative.
Reasons to switch:
- Cheap unit-based pricing
- Up to 200 parallel runs
- Twice as fast as Maestro Cloud for half the cost
- Google Play APIs
- Tablets and iPads
- Fast support response times (via Discord or Slack Connect)
The CLI is intentionally designed to mimic the Maestro Cloud API, so in most cases the migration is one line:
# before
maestro cloud --apiKey <apiKey> <appFile> <flowFile>
# after
dcd cloud <appFile> <flowFile>Start with the Quick Start to install the CLI and run your first flow.
- Quick Start - install the CLI and run your first flow
- Authentication -
dcd loginlocally, API key in CI - Flows & Workspaces - run a single file, a directory, or a whole workspace
- Devices & OS Versions - every supported device, Android API level and iOS version
- CI/CD Integration - supported providers, and the features that matter in a pipeline
- GitHub Actions - drop-in replacement for the Maestro Cloud action
- GitHub Checks - report pass/fail straight onto the pull request
- Artifacts & Downloads - pull logs, screenshots, videos and reports
- Device Matrix - run your suite across several devices in one upload
- Maestro Versions - pin a Maestro version, or track
latest - Environment Variables - inject config and secrets into your flows
- MCP Server - let Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients run your tests
- CLI Reference - every
dcdcommand and flag - REST API - uploads, results and flows over HTTP
- Test Run Billing - what a single test run costs
- Subscriptions - the Pro, Max and Enterprise plans
- Concurrency & Parallel Runs - how many of your tests run at once
For most projects, yes. The CLI mimics the Maestro Cloud API, so you change maestro cloud to dcd cloud and drop the --apiKey flag. On GitHub Actions you swap a single uses: line and all other inputs are compatible. See Quick Start and Migrating from Maestro Cloud.
DeviceCloud bills per test run i.e. a single top-level flow on a single device and are charged at $0.11 for standard iOS and $0.09 for standard Android. iPad, Google Play, tablet and non-default runner flows are charged at the advanced rate of $0.15. New accounts get $20 of free credits. See Test Run Billing.
It depends on your plan: Pro runs up to 5 iOS and 5 Android tests at once, and Max up to 20 of each. Enterprise concurrency is arranged to fit your requirements. Once you hit your maximum, further tests queue and start automatically as capacity frees up. See Concurrency & Parallel Runs and Subscriptions.
Android covers Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 7 and 7 Pro plus a generic tablet, on API levels 29–36. iOS covers the iPhone 14, 15 and 16 families and the iPad Pro (6th generation) on iOS 17, 18 and 26. Not every device supports every OS version, so check the availability tables in Devices & OS Versions.
We always support the latest version of Maestro with backwards compatibility up to v2.0.4. Runs default to v2.2.0, and you can use --maestro-version latest to always use the most up to date version. We periodically remove support for older versions, and these will be announced with plenty of warning. See Maestro Versions.
Both work. Run dcd login once for local use and our CLI will store your session, so you never pass a key on a command. For CI or any headless environment, you can generate and set DEVICE_CLOUD_API_KEY or pass --api-key. When more than one credential is present, precedence is the --api-key flag, then the environment variable, then the stored session. See Authentication.
There are first-class integrations for GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Bitbucket Pipelines and EAS Workflows. Any other provider can call the CLI directly with npx --yes @devicecloud.dev/dcd@latest cloud <app-file> <flows-dir> and gate the build on the exit code. See CI/CD Integration.
Pass --download-artifacts ALL (or FAILED) to a dcd cloud run, or fetch them after the fact with dcd artifacts --upload-id <uuid> --download-artifacts ALL. Everything is also downloadable from the console. Reports are available as junit, html, html-detailed and allure via --report. See Artifacts & Downloads and Report Formats.
Yes. Every flow has a 10-minute execution limit, after which it is automatically cancelled. Failed tests can be retried up to twice, giving a maximum of three total runs, free of charge. See Quick Start and Retry Strategies.
Yes. Test runner egress comes from a published set of IP ranges, and the same list is served from an unauthenticated endpoint — GET https://api.devicecloud.dev/ip-addresses so your tooling can poll it rather than watching a docs page. See IP Addresses.
Yes. The @devicecloud.dev/dcd package ships dcd-mcp, a Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients list devices, submit runs, check status and download artifacts. It's in beta, and the one billable tool can be hidden entirely with --read-only. See MCP Server.
Every account gets community and team support via Discord, and you can also email support@devicecloud.dev. We aim to respond within four hours for urgent queries and three days for non-urgent. Max and Enterprise customers both receive priority email support and Enterprise customers have direct access to the team via Slack Connect. Support hours are 8am–8pm UK time, Monday to Friday. See Service Level Agreements.
