Couchbase Mobile is open source. Couchbase only provides the data platform, but is significantly more sophisticated at it than Firebase. Firebase offers many other services, so you can't really make a direct comparison. In simple terms, the way I think of it, Firebase goes wide, offering a package with many elements, while Couchbase goes deep on one area, the data platform. (FYI I work at Couchbase.)
