Free Cloud Database

Fully supporting AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database that offers robust data management paired with the leading NoSQL database.

Is MongoDB Free?

You can get started with a MongoDB developer sandbox in MongoDB Atlas for free with basic configuration options. No credit cards are required to provision a cluster, and you can use it to explore and learn more about MongoDB Atlas, the database-as-a-service platform from MongoDB.

A community edition of MongoDB, with a limited set of features, can also be downloaded from MongoDB’s download page. This local installation will require you to configure and manage your MongoDB instance on your infrastructure. This free-to-use version of MongoDB is available under the server side public license (SSPL), which means you can use and modify the source code, but you can’t use the source code as a commercial SaaS offering.

How Much Does MongoDB Cost?

MongoDB has a flexible pricing structure. Starting with a free tier, MongoDB Atlas is the best way to learn and explore all the features the database-as-a-service platform has to offer. Once you are ready to go to production and require advanced features such as sharding or backups, you can explore the option to upgrade to one of the paid tiers. Pricing will vary depending on the size and resources required by your application. A serverless offering is also available for an even more flexible pricing option.

If you prefer to install, configure, and manage your instances of MongoDB, you can also download the community version. A commercial Enterprise Advanced license is available for on-premise usage to benefit from all of the features MongoDB offers by contacting our sales teams.

Where Can I Download MongoDB?

If you want to try out MongoDB for free, the easiest way is to use MongoDB Atlas, the database-as-a-service platform by MongoDB. Yet, you sometimes might need to install a local version of the database. If you want to download MongoDB to run it on your infrastructure, you can find a community edition available for download on the MongoDB download page.

Is MongoDB Compass free?

MongoDB Compass, the graphical user interface (GUI) for querying, analyzing, and managing your data on MongoDB clusters, is free to use. It is available for download on macOS, Windows, and Linux on the MongoDB download page.

Is MongoDB Ops Manager free?

MongoDB Ops Manager is a tool to help your operation team manage your MongoDB instances. Ops Manager is available as part of the MongoDB Enterprise Advanced subscription. It can be found on the MongoDB download page.
