Con
•••
Not as usable as Parse
Parse had several SDKs available which made it a breeze to integrate it with any platform that you wanted.
See More
Top
Pro
•••
Good for sensitive data
Since Kinto is a self-hosted solution, it can be used to store sensitive data (emails, financial data etc...) safely, since only the developer has access to the backend.
See More
Top
Con
•••
No hosted version
In order to use kinto you have to download it and host it on your own server infrastructure. While it does help you avoid outsourcing your data to a third-party, it also adds the overhead of having to maintain a backend for your app.
