CloudBoost vs Parse: What are the differences?
Developers describe CloudBoost as "One complete database service that not only does data storage, but also search, real-time and more". CloudBoost.io is a database service for the “next web” - that not only does data-storage, but also search, real-time and a whole lot more which enables developers to build much richer apps with 50% less time saving them a ton of cost and helping them go to market much faster. On the other hand, Parse is detailed as "The complete mobile app platform". With Parse, you can add a scalable and powerful backend in minutes and launch a full-featured app in record time without ever worrying about server management. We offer push notifications, social integration, data storage, and the ability to add rich custom logic to your app’s backend with Cloud Code.
CloudBoost belongs to "NoSQL Database as a Service" category of the tech stack, while Parse can be primarily classified under "Mobile Backend".
Some of the features offered by CloudBoost are:
- Data-storage
- real-time
- notification
On the other hand, Parse provides the following key features:
- Store basic data types, locations, photos
- Update over the air
- Data browser lets you manage, search, and update content without writing a single line of code
"Good features, simple API, save a lot of time" is the primary reason why developers consider CloudBoost over the competitors, whereas "Easy setup" was stated as the key factor in picking Parse.
