Some differences:

- Rich control panel, rich data model and powerful query engine. You can make complex data models and then you can view/edit the data and their relationships easily in the control panel. There are many data types including geolocations and rich text.

- The query engine includes joins, conditional joins, and full text queries.

- Files. You can crop/scale images on the fly. Just ask backbeam in which size and scaling policy you need it.

- Realtime API

- Email delivery integrated with well-known platforms such as Postmark, Amazon SES, etc. You can edit and create email templates right on the control panel.

- Full web development framework, right on the browser. You can create views and controllers in an online editor and test your webapp and get feedback of any errors without leaving the browser (you don't need a terminal to push your changes, just save and refresh).

- You can create many web versions, publish one of them and continue developing the others.

- Open Source SDKs.

- You have two environments: dev and pro by default.
