GoInstant vs Simperium: What are the differences?
What is GoInstant? The realtime app development stack. It is a service for building web and mobile realtime apps easily. Simply add its library to your application to gain access to shared data storage, pub/sub messaging and more.
What is Simperium? Move data everywhere it's needed, instantly and automatically. Simperium is a new kind of data layer. As your app reads and writes data, Simperium circulates that data everywhere it's needed. You add a Simperium library to your app and initialize it. This library keeps a persistent connection to the Simperium hosted service. The Simperium libraries and service work together to efficiently move data around for your users.
GoInstant and Simperium belong to "Realtime Backend / API" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by GoInstant are:
- Shared data storage
- Pub/sub messaging
- REST API
On the other hand, Simperium provides the following key features:
- Data transparently moves across mobile, web, and desktop versions of your app
- Your users can read and write data even when they're offline
- Multiple users can collaborate with the same data at the same time
"Easy to integrate" is the primary reason why developers consider GoInstant over the competitors, whereas "Simple and useful data model" was stated as the key factor in picking Simperium.
