Found Elasticsearch vs Qbox.io: What are the differences?

Developers describe Found Elasticsearch as "Hosted Elasticsearch". Create your own fully managed and hosted Elasticsearch cluster. You get a dedicated cluster with reserved memory, giving you predictable performance. There are no arbitrary limits on how many indexes or documents you can store. Scale your clusters as and when needed, without any downtime. On the other hand, Qbox.io is detailed as "Dedicated cloud hosting for Elasticsearch on Amazon EC2, Rackspace, and SoftLayer". Qbox is supported, dedicated, hosted Elasticsearch - the bleeding edge of full-text search and analytics. We provide an intuitive interface to provision, secure, and monitor ES clusters in Amazon EC2 and Rackspace datacenters everywhere.

Found Elasticsearch and Qbox.io can be primarily classified as "Search as a Service" tools.
