About DBPriceBook

DBPriceBook is an independent reference site for managed database pricing comparison. Managed database pricing, compared by engine and provider — MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, ClickHouse and Cassandra.

What we do

We compare managed database pricing across 6 non-Postgres engines — MySQL, Redis/Valkey, MongoDB, Apache Kafka, ClickHouse and Cassandra — and 20 offerings from AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, MongoDB, PlanetScale, Aiven, Upstash, Redis Inc., Confluent, ClickHouse Inc., Tinybird, DataStax and NetApp Instaclustr. Every offering has a page with its tier table, pricing model, free tier, cost pros/cons and a link to the vendor's own pricing page, plus same-engine head-to-head comparisons and a monthly cost estimator.

How we source pricing

Every figure is a dated snapshot taken from the vendor's own published pricing page, captured as of June 2026. Managed-database pricing changes frequently, so each page shows the snapshot date and a "verify on the vendor's pricing page" line. We do not fabricate numbers: unverified or usage-based values are labelled rather than guessed. See our methodology for the exact sources, formulas and exclusions.

Why not PostgreSQL?

We deliberately focus on non-Postgres engines. Managed PostgreSQL is covered by a sibling site, and on RDS, Cloud SQL and Azure it is priced almost identically to MySQL — so the MySQL figures here are a close proxy. Postgres appears only as an occasional comparison anchor.

Who it's for

Developers, founders and platform teams choosing where to run a managed database, and anyone researching "MongoDB Atlas pricing", "cheapest managed Redis" or "RDS MySQL vs Cloud SQL". This is informational only — not a quote and not financial advice.
