Which is best for a mobile backend?: CloudKit or parse.com


I have seen both sites, which are CloudKit and parse, also i have been read the articles as well about the comparison. Still i am not clear of that which is the best backend platform for mobile apps. I am looking forward your answer only for mobile platforms, it can be android or IOS.

Also i need to know about the performance and capacity allocation on each level.


Solution

  • First and foremost CloudKit don't quite support cross-platform. It generally only works with iOS. On the other hand, Parse support cross-platform. From your question, you seem to want to go for both iOS and Android. So for me to answer this question I would say Parse. For deeper details, this link should tell all you need to know.

    UPDATE:
    ClouldKit now supports web services API.
