FAQs
Is MongoDB Compass free to use?
Yes. The full Compass edition is free, and MongoDB also offers a read only edition and an isolated edition that limits network connections to MongoDB only.
Can Compass connect to MongoDB Atlas?
Yes. You can paste an Atlas connection string into Compass and sign in to browse cloud databases in the same visual way as local ones.
Do I still need the MongoDB shell?
Not for most daily work. Compass covers browsing, queries, pipelines and index tasks visually, and it also includes an embedded shell for moments when typing a command is quicker.
