   Appwrite is awesome, free and open-source!

   I've use it instead of Firebase on a 15$ DigitalOcean droplet and saved around ~$150 a month. Managing my own infra does take some extra time, but definitely worth it. The APIs and SDK are also surprisingly much easier to consume than Firebase. Waiting for the cloud version.

   Competitors: Firebase

   Pros:    Easy to use|Cost effective|Open-source|Great user experience|Super simple|Self hosted

   Cons:    Self hosted
