Breaking Backend as a Service Myths

Since Kinvey posted this here: I can't stand the pricing model of Kinvey, at all.

Charging 'per active user' where an 'active user' is defined as a user who makes a single request per month is insane. Nearly every other provider charges on a volume request basis (i.e, 8 million calls per month). I use BaaS platforms in some of my apps, and I can't think of a single scenario for me where Kinvey is cheaper. And I guess this would be fine if there was some clear advantage for using Kinvey, but I just don't see it!
