I don’t know how many users Coghead had and what kind of apps they’ve developed, but what I can say for sure, is that the migration to other systems won’t be an easy affair, especially for those who have sophisticated business process and workflow logic. The specifics of each business, reflected in the app structure, should be taken into account.Coghead customers with really complicated applications should consider QuickBase or TeamDesk. As these services satisfy the most sophisticated requirements and don't require any coding or scripting.
In case javascript or deluge script programming doesn't scare you, Caspio Bridge or Zoho Creator are there for you.
If you had relatively simple single table application, apart from the above mentioned solutions, one can take a look at Dabble DB or TrackVia.
Did you like Coghead because of Adobe Flex? Then Blist can be considered as Coghead substitution here. If you have a single table app - it should work well.
Well, Coghead users will be able to access and download their data through April 30, 2009.
So, who else is going to give Coghead customers a hand and help them with their app migration?

I would like to mention that IS Tools offers a PaaS solution that specifically targets enterprise customers -- avoiding some of the risks eminent with e.g. Coghead, and providing a solid foundation even for very complex PaaS-based business applications.
