Apps Best Cloud Database For Apps?

Hey folks,

Developing an app that stores user entered data. If the user were to login from another device, his information needs to come up, so obviously I need a database that's in "the cloud" (god I hate saying that).

So, my first thoughts are Amazon S3 for storing the data. My concern though is that Amazon charges by amount of data being transferred. If I charge say 2.99 for an app, if after 6 months that user has transferred enough data to cost 2.99, then after the first 6 months his app is costing me money every time it's run.

What do people typically do for simple apps and data storage? Can't imagine that ads are the best way to go? Is there a different provider other than Amazon that people typically use?

Thanks
 
Hi,
I know this is probably too late but I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm the founder of cloudbase.io - a cloud hosting service for mobile applications.

On top of the cloud database database service we also offer cloud functions, the ability to run your code on our servers. Multi platform push notifications and mobile application analytics.

Let me know if we can help you in any way.

Stefano
