Source: https://expo.dev/pricing
Can Expo be self-hosted?
We have only confirmed a cloud / SaaS deployment for Expo, so it appears to be vendor-hosted. If a self-hosted option exists we have not found it documented publicly.
Source: https://expo.dev/pricing
What does Expo integrate with?
We have confirmed 10 integrations for Expo, including Slack, maestro, Fastlane, Xcode, Android Studio, ADB, Metro and Webpack, plus 2 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
Source: https://expo.dev/pricing
What security certifications does Expo have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2 and GDPR for Expo. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Expo not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.
Source: https://expo.dev
Is Expo open source?
Yes. Expo is published under the MIT licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Expo, not the verdict.
