Pricing

Using the Pricing Calculator

Templates are provided for ease of use and provide balanced resource allocations appropriate for general-purpose workloads. The Custom tab can be used to configure Disk, RAM, and vCPU, as desired.

For pricing estimation, use the Add to Estimate button at the bottom of the Databases for MongoDB catalog page. Input your total consumption across two data members into the calculator. This is roughly double the size of your data because your data is replicated to both members. For example, 10 GB of disk and 1 GB of RAM across two data members would be priced at 20 GB of disk and 2 GB of RAM respectively.

Backups Pricing

You receive your total disk space purchased, per database, in free backup storage. For example, in a given month, if you have a Databases for MongoDB deployment that has 20 GB of disk per member, and has three data members, you receive 60 GB of backup storage free for that month. If your backup storage utilization is greater than 60 GB for the month (in this scenario), you are charged an overage of $0.03/ month per gigabyte.

By default, Cloud Databases provides a daily backup that is stored for 30 days. These backups, and any on-demand backups you make, all count toward the allocation.

In the example, if your database contains 2 GB of data and you have not taken any on-demand backups, then your total backup size is 2 GB x 30 = 60 GB. Your backup costs are nil.

If your database contains 15 GB of data and you have not taken any on-demand backups, then your total backup size is 15 GB x 30 = 450 GB. In this scenario, your backup costs are (450 GB - 60 GB) * 0.03 = $11.7 per month.

Most deployments will not ever go over the allotted credit.

Dedicated Cores Pricing

You have the option of selecting the CPU allocation for your for Databases for MongoDB Standard Edition deployment, while dedicated cores are required for Databases for MongoDB Enterprise Edition deployments. With dedicated cores, your resource group is given a single-tenant host with a guaranteed minimum reserve of cpu shares. Your deployments are then allocated the number of CPUs you specify. The cost of dedicated cores is $45 per core per month for the Standard plan, and $60 per core per month for the Enterprise plan. Each member gets the selected number of cores. For example, if you provision a deployment with three dedicated cores per member on the Standard plan, that is a total of 9 cores, and billed at $405 per month.

The default Shared CPU setting provisions for your Databases for MongoDB Standard Edition deployment hosts with shared compute resources and incurs no additional charge.

Dedicated cores are an optional feature for Databases for MongoDB Standard Edition and required for Databases for MongoDB Enterprise Edition deployments.

Scaling per Member

Databases for MongoDB deployments have minimum and maximum allocation for disk and RAM as shown. Scaling deployments through the API/CLI provides more granularity and also allows a user to scale a database instance up to 4 TB of disk per member.
