Understand Your MongoDB Invoice
On this page
Your MongoDB Atlas bill includes key sections such as the following:
Section | Description |
|---|---|
Summary by Project | Shows the total monthly cost for each project. |
Summary by Service | Breaks down your total costs by the types of Atlas services
you use across all your projects. |
While invoices vary depending on consumption and feature usage, you can see how you incur costs for all of the possible Atlas services listed in the Summary by Service section.
Clusters
Atlas charges dedicated clusters on an hourly basis and you pay only for the time your cluster is active. The cost depends on factors like the region, cloud provider, and utilization (CPU, memory and storage). This estimated price of your cluster is available when you create or edit a cluster.
For example, if you run a M30 cluster on AWS with default
settings at $0.54/hour for 24 hours a day for 30 days, you can expect
to pay roughly $388/month. If you increase your base storage to 200 GB,
your price changes to $0.65/hour, or roughly $468/month. If you switch
to a more expensive region like Sao Paulo and do not change any other
settings, your price changes to $0.98/hour, or around $705 monthly. To
learn more, see Cluster Configuration Costs.
Atlas charges shared clusters monthly at fixed base rates. Flex clusters scale with your usage, with a maximum charge of $30 per month. For more information, see Atlas Flex Costs.
Storage
Atlas includes the cost of default storage in the cluster's hourly rate. However, if you customize storage capacity, Atlas charges for the full amount of storage without deducting the cost of the default storage capacity. If you enable Cluster Auto-Scaling, Atlas charges you based on the actual storage usage after you apply auto-scaling.
Backups
For Cloud Backups, Atlas charges for storage of data in your replica set, configuration server, and network transfer during snapshot restoration. If you enable Continuous Cloud Backups, Atlas charges you according to the continuous cloud backup rates.
To learn more, see Backups.
Data Transfer
Atlas calculates and updates data transfer costs daily based on the cloud service provider hosting your cluster and if you transfer data within the same region or different regions.
To learn more, see Data Transfer and Optimize Cluster Costs.
BI Connector
If you enable the Atlas BI Connector, Atlas charges as a daily uplift on the cluster's cost, which you can view in the cluster console. The daily rate follows sustained-usage pricing, meaning it is charged only up to a monthly maximum.
Premium Features
The Premium Features section of your Atlas bill includes additional features such as Advanced Security, Private Endpoints, Database Auditing, and Online Archive, with the costs based on usage, subscription, or resource consumption.
To learn more, see Additional Services.
Data Federation
Atlas Data Federation costs include data that your federated database instances process and return.
To learn more, see Data Federation Costs.
App Services
Atlas App Services applications incur data transfer and compute costs, which Atlas reflects as a line item on your monthly invoice for each project. All apps in a MongoDB Atlas project share a daily free tier, and Atlas bills only usage exceeding this threshold.
To learn more, see Billing.
Charts
Atlas bills Charts based on the data you transfer from the Charts web server to web browser clients, with the first 1 GB per month free, and additional data transfers beyond this limit at a fixed rate.
To learn more, see Atlas Charts Pricing.
Support
Atlas charges for support based on the selected support tier. Pricing details are available through the UI on the support plan page.
