Simperium, the company behind the stellar Simplenote suite of apps, just announced their pricing structure for their syncing service. The free plan lets you have 2,500 active monthly users. Looks like a great deal.
If you recall, Simperium offers a Core Data interface to their syncing layer, basically replicating the promises of iCloud but with a proven infrastructure and great support behind it. I’ve been seriously considering this as an option in place of iCloud Core Data.
The best part: Simperium is planning to open source their protocol and a server reference implementation so you can take the whole thing in house if you want. A great strategy. They make money running the service so you don’t have to think about it, but if you do want to think about it, grab the source and go.
