I don't think it's the same. BizSpark is the equivalent of Google given you free access to their entire Cloud Platform, e.g. Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud SQL, free upgrades of OS X and free copies of of IntelliJ IDEA... for three years.

Agreed. It is not a fair comparison, BizSpark probably provides a lot more.

But for a startup with only developers and zero capital, App Engine still provides a great platform to get started. And also, there is no need to apply and get accepted, everyone gets the free quota.

Let me change my initial comment - for those who didn't get into BizSpark and who have run out of their free AWS quota can consider Google App Engine for their experiments :-)
