Syncano helps developers build serverless apps. It’s a complete platform to create connected realtime apps without managing a backend or server.

Our goal is to give the hands back to the creator. Instead of spending time writing redundant code and scaling and provisioning servers, we hope developers can now focus on problems specific to their apps.

We offer developer-friendly pricing based on API calls and CodeBox runs, including a free 6 month trial. When your free trial is up or your app is in production, plans start as low as $25 per month. Start your free trial today!
