After I blog about Free push notification and then dig deeper for other alternative competitor I suddenly found that it's plenty a lot more free Backend as a service (BaaS) out there with also provide not just million of push notification but also free cloud service and else!
| Provider | Push Noti per month |
API calls per month |
Storage | E-mails | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Appcelerator | 5M | 5M | 20GB | 100,000/month | unlimited |
| Kinvey | 1M | unlimited | unlimited | - | 100 |
| Stackmob | 1M | unlimited | Amazon S3 5GB | 200/day | unlimited |
| Parse | 1M | 1M | 1GB +500 images |
200/day | unlimited |
| Backendless | 200,000 | unlimited | 2GB | - | 100 |
I will collect all BaaS here for reference and compare, I did try all of them and my suggestion (for now) is Parse.com which is just has been take over by Facebook after I try it for 2 days ;p
The good thing for this all services is they all support REST/RESTful API and JSON which really mean Flash/AIR dude can be use their API without any headache.
And like always, any suggestion for other competitor is open and welcome! :)
PS : I'll try keep this table comparison accurate as possible, but for real life use please recheck for pricing plan at service provider page.
UPDATE 1 : as Nick Collins mention, I just add backendless to the list, if you didn't push notification that much and want minor adjust for each $ you spend, this one is perfect for you :)
UPDATE 2 : Thanks for correction via comment below, Kinvey has "unlimited" storage for free, so it's a good time for us to fill it up though! ;)
