Anyone thought through the advantages of using Parse vs. iCloud for sync? For a multi-platform app, Parse seems to be the way to go. The only disadvantage I can see is that I ( as a service provider ) have to pay the storage costs of parse, while Apple handles the storage costs for iCloud (including collecting expenses from users who opt for more than the free 5gb).


Parse does a lot more than iCloud. You can manage users and share data between users, facebook integration and push notification services.


I believe you can't do Pagination/Ordering just using iCloud?
