    Out of interest, is there any research to back the idea of selling your product at the same time as giving it away for free ultimately results in higher sales? A trade-off between exposure and "lost" sales I guess?

    I think this is a great call. I'll be investing time into trying your service out now that I know that if you guys ever need to disappear or your pricing model becomes incompatible I'll have another choice.

    I'm curious: How's Simperium different from Parse.com?
