Build Credits

You need build credits to generate new desktop builds for your apps.

Each build run uses 1 build credit and can generate desktop builds for all supported platforms in a single run.

What is a build?

A build is one generation run for your desktop app.

Each time you generate a desktop version of your app, Desktopr consumes 1 build credit.

One build can include all supported platforms:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

That means 1 build credit = 1 build run, not one build per platform.

Important details

  • 1 build credit = 1 build run
  • 1 build includes Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Credits are only consumed when the build is successful
  • Only the latest build files for each platform are stored
  • Save your old build files before generating a new build if you need to keep them

Before using build credits

Use build credits only after you have tested your app with Desktopr Companion.

This helps you avoid wasting credits on issues that can be found before generating a production build.

Build credits are not refundable.

Need more builds? You can top up anytime.
