What makes Webscript better than other BaaS providers that have more advanced functionality available?

Hm; to me personally, one advantage is that I immediately understand the idea and usage method of their service, while reading the links you provided I can't grasp what they're trying to communicate, unfortunately.

Also, I know Lua and value it very highly, so seeing it mentioned immediately focused my attention.

Thirdly, "free" "unlimited" "renewable 7-day" trial sounds great, and $5/month for persistent does too.


I agree - the simplicity of the service is great. Can immediately see what it does.

For example do those other services come with storage? I can't tell.

For parse, it looks like you need to install a command line application. Not useful if your desktop is Windoz.

I doubt anyone is going to be building huge applications on webscript.io (yet!) but for simple little things (aka weekend projects) it should work great.
