I was thinking about how to be if I use firebase as my backend. It really looks cool to me. But Im confused about prices. What do you guys think about prices on the list. Are they normal for connections they handling?

I think it's relatively reasonable. At least it's not based off of month active users but concurrent users at any given time. 50 concurrent users is good to start off with and $150 for 750 users is reasonable at a business standpoint. 750 concurrent users would translate to over 1 million monthly visits according to their stats (In our experience, 1 concurrent corresponds to roughly 1,400 monthly visits.)
