StackMob makes API Calls FREE
You read right..
The company StackMob who provides an end-to-end platform for mobile apps is announcing today the launch of “StackMob Marketplace for third-party services, as well as changes to its pricing structure to API Calls.
StackMob has announced that API calls (as of today) are FREE.
Seeing as I just wrote an Article about a competitor to StackMob (Kinvey) just yesterday it’s worth saying that this will have a major impact on not just Kinvey but other start-ups as well like Parse, and others..
StackMob CEO Ty Amell said,
“It doesn’t matter to us whether someone’s making a million API calls or 20 million API calls – the cost is fairly manageable on our parts. So we felt like this was a blocker to innovation on the developer’s side,”
“And we feel like API calls are starting to become a commodity, where it’s really how can you provide value beyond that?”
StackMob is also launching a marketplace for third-party services. Here, the company is offering a one-stop shop for access to everything from analytics to ad networks, and even other back-end service providers like Urban Airship.
On this note Amell went on to say,
“the prices for the services are set by the providers, and are essentially the same as what developers would pay otherwise. StackMob earns a 20 to 30 perfect referral fee from the provider, but it’s adding its own margin on top of the prices the provider sets.”
So, that’s the skinny..

Way to go StackMob,
