What do I choose SaaS or Desktop?

✅ YES — choose SaaS if you want cloud devices, CI/CD automation, or to run devices from any computer. Choose Desktop if you want local Android development on Windows, Linux, or macOS. SaaS is also the way to get cloud access from Desktop through the Cloud tab, and Desktop is best when you need local, interactive work.

• Choose SaaS for:
• browser-based access
• automated testing and CI/CD
• cloud usage from anywhere
• ARM64 cloud virtual devices
• Android Automotive AAOS 14, which is available on SaaS (Android Automotive (AAOS 14) is now available on Genymotion SaaS!)

• Choose Desktop for:
• local app development and learning
• running on your own machine
• Windows, Linux, or macOS support
• Pro features like network settings, media injection, GPS/routes, biometrics, and gamepad (Genymotion for Education)

• You can also use both together:
• Desktop can show your SaaS cloud devices in the Cloud tab without a paid Desktop license (Cloud Virtual Devices)

If you want, I can help you choose based on whether you’re doing development, QA automation, demos, or teaching.
