Billing

Billing settings are configured at the organization level and apply to all projects within that organization. You can examine costs at the organization level or the project level.

To view and edit billing information, select the desired organization from the Context dropdown menu, then click Billing.

Atlas charges by the hour for your MongoDB clusters. Atlas tabulates costs daily and displays your current monthly costs in the upper right corner. To view line-item charges, click the details link to go to the invoice.

As you create or modify a cluster, you can compare the costs of different options before applying them. Atlas displays the costs, except for data transfer, in a Cluster Overview box.

Note

The Cluster Overview box does not display data transfer costs.

Billing Profile

Select your organization from the Context dropdown and select Billing from the left navigation bar. Edit your billing information from the Billing Profile panel of your organization’s Billing Overview.

Click the Edit button in the Billing Profile panel to add or update the following information for your organization:

Annual Commitment with Monthly Invoicing

If your subscription includes an annual commitment, you can view your month’s spending against your commitment in your organization’s Billing Overview.

At the end of the month, if your usage is lower than your prorated monthly commitment, you will be charged for the full commitment. Unused credits can be applied at a later date to cover overages.

Note

• If you do not add your subscription activation code within the first 30 days of use, MongoDB charges the credit card associated with the account. Credit card charges are non-refundable.
• If you lost your activation code, request support.

Subscription Level

If you have an upgraded MongoDB Atlas subscription entitling you to support or other capabilities, the total cost for the month is listed in the Summary section of your invoice. Line items are listed in the Details section.

Billing Quota Management

You can use billing alerts to help manage your billing quotas. Billing alerts notify a member or set of members of an organization or a project when a bill has exceeded a USD limit, or when a credit card is about to expire.

You can configure billing alerts at the project level to get alerts for a single project, or at the organization level to get alerts for some or all projects within an organization.
