I have an iPhone app that must use external cloud db to sync data between users. Data is structured, so BLOB storage will not do. So far the only alternatives that i see are

• Amazon SimpleDB
• MS Azure Storage (Tables). I didnt get if i could use just Storage and no Azure instances.

Are there any other similar providers?

You can absolutely use Azure Storage (which includes tables, blobs, and queues) with no compute instances. Storage costs $0.15 / GB $0.11 or less / GB depending on quantity, and you'll pay for bandwidth usage ($0.10 free inbound, $0.15 $0.12 / GB outbound). And you'll pay $0.01 / 10,000 100,000 storage transactions.

Regarding Azure tables specifically, you can have as many tables as you'd like within your storage account. Tables are schema-less, with up to 100TB per storage account.
