I want to make a chat app. So,is clouddb and tiny db free and which is better.

Are they both free?

If you want to make a chat app you have to use clouddb because cloud db is online storage, while tinydb is offline storage so you can't create a chat app using tinydb.

For more information, you can see here

Yes Free as long as you use a server from MIT. If you want to use your own server you have to pay

Yes, of course. But you can only store text data

You can store binary files to cloudDB, it automatically converts them to base64 on assignment

Using the MIT provided cloudDB is only provided for testing and development, It should not be used for production apps. The server is not continually monitored and can be unreliable/down on occasion.
