MongoDB reframes plans and adds features.
What happened
Between the Mar 9, 2026 and Mar 16, 2026 captures of MongoDB's pricing page, Pulse recorded 3 changes: Starter Scale M10 vCPUs now labeled as 'Burstable' to clarify CPU performance characteristics; Complete pricing restructure: Flex and Dedicated replaced with Starter Scale M10 and Production Grade M30 tiers [Flex removed; Dedicated removed; Starter Scale M10 added at $0.08/hr; Production Grade M30 added at $0.54/hr]; Production Grade M30 tier offers 40 GB storage and 8 GB dedicated RAM [M30 positioned as high-performance production option vs M10 entry-level]. Pulse files it as a packaging change (feature added, package change, limit increase) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Flex at $0.01 per hour, Dedicated at $0.08 per hour and Atlas Infinite at $0.09 per hour.
MongoDB's previous recorded change was "MongoDB launches Pricing Calculator and cost optimization tools for Atlas" (Week 10, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "MongoDB removes interactive cluster sizing tool from pricing page" (Week 7, 2026). MongoDB has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Elastic and Couchbase also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
