I'm creating an actions on google smart home app. I need to use a server that lets me make external (to Google) calls. I've already tried it with Firebase, but it's not possible unless you upgrade your account. What platform could I use to accomplish this task?

I have already searched for alternatives to Firebase, and came up with platforms such us parse, back4app or horizon, but I don't actually know if they are suitable for my purpose. Does anyone know which one could I use and how can I link it with my actions on google app?

    You may consider to use Blaze plan on Firebase. It has same free limit as Spark plan and it will be enough for development. – hfurkanvural May 31 '19 at 12:50

There are many different ways you could go.

  1. Upgrade to the pay-as-you-go Blaze plan. You can look at the pricing for the tier and see if it makes sense.

  2. As Actions on Google has fulfillment that is at its core a REST API call, you can host the fulfillment directly on your server and respond using one of the libraries or directly through JSON.

  3. As the platform is basically a REST API call, you can use any server / cloud function service to generate calls. I don't know anything about the three suggestions you make, but as long as you can run code on them they should work.
