MongoDB at AWS re:Invent 2022
MongoDB Atlas Pricing on AWS
With MongoDB Atlas, start on the perpetual free tier, and after that pay only for what you use.
How much does MongoDB cost on AWS?
MongoDB Atlas offers a perpetual free tier and usage-based pricing for as little as $9/mo for a shared instance or $60/mo dedicated. You’re only charged per instance hour actually running and a flat rate for data transfer, so changing configurations is no big deal.
The actual costs are going to come down to your level of usage and overall AWS pricing in your chosen region. We also offer an optional MongoDB Atlas backup service for a fee.
To make it easy to compare, we put together a table.

Data transfer fees
For most Atlas customers, data transfer fees amount to less than 10% of their bill, but depend on your specific usage patterns. Note: Data transfer fees are not assessed on M0, M2, and M5 instances.
| Same region | $0.01/GB |
| Cross-region | $0.02/GB |
| Internet | $0.09/GB |
Backup services
Atlas offers fully managed, fully configurable backup services for your MongoDB cluster, starting at $0.14/GB/month, based on the size of your datafiles on disk.
MongoDB Atlas cluster backups utilize AWS snapshots of the underlying disks, and with Point-in-Time Restore (PIT) enabled, also backs up the cluster’s oplogs to enable fine-grained restoration. Because PIT Restore relies on continuously backing up oplog files, enabling it does increase the cost of backups for your cluster based on S3 pricing in the highest priority region for your cluster or shard.
