Hi, I'm the real-time guy at Baqend and I'd like to object.
Baqend has streaming queries whose results stay up-to-date over time; purely push-based, no pulling involved. You just have to register your query as streaming query and receive relevant events or the updated result every time anything of interest is happening. In our opinion, this is not only comparable, but goes beyond the synchronization feature of Firebase, because our real-time queries can be pretty complex. A Baqend streaming query can look something like this:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE forename LIKE 'Joh%'
AND age > 23
ORDER BY surname, job DESC
We are going to publish this feature during the next weeks. But you can already read the API docs here to get a feeling for the expressiveness of the feature: https://www.baqend.com/guide/#streaming-queries
