Is BlueMix a Heroku competitor or compliment? I want to develop on the Watson API but I also want to use a stack I'm familiar with. Also, do you have range estimates for the price of accessing the Watson API?

I went for an info session and a few events for Watson a couple of months ago at the IBM office in NYC. They are doing pricing with revenue shares. A lot of devs, including myself, were not happy about this. They basically were not open to projects that weren't directly making money off of Watson...
Yes BlueMix is a Heroku competitor. It is the easiest way to consume Watson APIs but won't be the only way. I can't disclose pricing yet.
BlueMix is based on Cloud Foundry and is very easy to use. Pushed an app there yesterday as a test.
