MongoDB Pricing [closed]

Question

I can't find a good article with MongoDB pricings and I am trying to estimate how much it would cost for my company if we would use it in production environment.

Could you help me to estimate/provide MongoDB pricing links to understand approximetly how much it would cost? And should it be cheaper compared to SQL Server Enterprise edition?

1. MongoDB with AWS hosting - I found the pricing for it but if I use an AWS instance with MongoDB, should I pay for the license as well or just for the instance?

2. MongoDB License - I read that there is an Enterprise edition but couldn't understand what are the differences between the enterprise and not enterprise and what are the costs differences.

I should have:

• 2 MongoDB Licenses.
• MongoDB should be high-available (in SQL Server for example I had to purchase the enterprise edition in order to make it highly-avaialable, should I do it with MongoDB as well?).
• Each instance will use 500GB Volume space.
• Platform - Windows Or Linux (still thinking).

I asked many questions but even if you provide me some answers it would be greatly appreciated. If I need to add some more data, let me know and I will add.

You can use MongoDB Community Server, instead of MongoDB Enterprise Server, it does not have Licenses cost. This https://www.mongodb.com/download-center?jmp=nav#enterprise shows the extras that you get with Enterprise server.

MongoDB can be configured with replica-set config, which provides high-availability. This feature is part of both community & enterprise server, no need to pay anything extra for it.

If you host community server on AWS EC2, you would need to pay for EC2 instance (+ EBS volume) costs, no mongodb licenses cost.

For approximate idea on pricing you can also see: https://mlab.com/plans/pricing/ (they provide managed Database-as-a-Service for MongoDB on AWS).
