Parse New Pricing (2014) is so much cheaper

OMG. Parse is already my favourite BaaS, now it is even more.

Parse announced a new pricing - cheaper and simpler.

They used to have 1 million free push messages in a month. Now, it is 1 million unique devices!

That means if you send lots of push, but have less than 1 million active users a month, then you don't have to pay a dime!

Google also jumped onto the BaaS bandwagon

Google has launched their own Backend-as-a-Service, like Parse (now belongs to Facebook) and Helios (Heroku).

They called it the Mobile Backend Starter.


As the creator of Android, it is no surprise they created a much needed service for mobile developers.

The question now: Would Apple be jumping onto the bandwagon?

We will find out in WWDC 2013.

Helios - Mobile Backend as a Service - by Heroku

Newly out of Heroku's owen. Meet Helios.io

Like Parse, Helios helps iOS developers build server-client app easily, without needing to write server side code, design API etc.

What makes helios stands out is that it is free, opensource, and can run on Heroku easily.

Get started now! It's definitely amazing gift for iOS developers.
