At Studio 3T, we’ve always built our tools with one goal in mind: helping you get the most out of MongoDB. As the MongoDB ecosystem continues to evolve, so do the needs of the individuals and teams working within it.
Over time, we’ve heard directly from our users that your work has become more mission-critical, deployments more complex, and expectations for tools more sophisticated. Your feedback has been invaluable in shaping where we go next. It’s clear that as your MongoDB usage matures, you need solutions that can grow with you.
That’s why, as of June 2, 2025, we’re introducing thoughtful changes to our pricing and packaging. These changes are designed to better reflect how you’re using MongoDB today and to support you as your projects scale.
We remain committed to offering solutions for every stage of your MongoDB journey. As you tackle larger, more complex projects, we’re focusing on delivering secure, efficient tools that help you manage and scale MongoDB with confidence.
What’s changing?
To better serve you and reflect how you’re using Studio 3T, we’re introducing a simpler product lineup.
Here’s what’s changing starting June 2, 2025:
- Studio 3T Free becomes Studio 3T Community Edition: a free, non-commercial tool designed for students and hobbyists starting out with MongoDB. You can connect to up to three MongoDB clusters, and our friendly Community Forum is always available to help and guide you.
What this means for current Free users: Accept the new End-User License Agreement (EULA) in the app. You’ll be prompted to do this when you update Studio 3T.
- Studio 3T Basic merges with Studio 3T Pro to become Studio 3T Professional: a productivity powerhouse designed for individuals scaling their MongoDB projects and workflows.
What this means for current Basic users: With your next Studio 3T update, you’ll get access to Professional, unlocking advanced capabilities like translating aggregations into application code, analyzing schema structures, syncing collections, connecting to SQL databases, and more. When it’s time to renew, you’ll need to upgrade your license to keep using Professional.
Existing customers can purchase additional Studio 3T Professional seats at their current Basic price until July 31, 2025 using the License Manager.
- Studio 3T Pro and Studio 3T Ultimate remain the same, you’ll just notice that ‘Pro’ is now called ‘Professional’.
We’ve put together some questions and answers at the end of this post to explain these changes and their impact in more detail. Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like to discuss anything further.

FAQs
Studio 3T Free becomes Studio 3T Community Edition, and remains a free tool with a limited feature set designed for students and hobbyists new to MongoDB. It is not intended for commercial use. If you need a commercial solution, you can try out the full capabilities of Studio 3T.
Yes. The only difference is that it supports up to three connections, which aligns with how most Studio 3T Free users typically connect – usually one or two connections.

As your projects grow and evolve, our paid plans offer premium features, unlimited connections, and dedicated support to help you scale your work with confidence.

Yes. You can continue using your current version, but it will no longer be supported or updated after June 2, 2025. If you choose to update in the future, you’ll need to accept the new, simplified EULA and transition to Studio 3T Community Edition, which offers ongoing updates.
We’ve updated our EULAs to make the terms simpler and clearer, so they better meet the needs of both our free and commercial editions. When you next update, you’ll be prompted to review and accept these updated terms within the application.
If you’ve been using Studio 3T in a commercial setting, you’re not alone – we’ve spoken to many users in a similar position. However, we’ve found that people using the tool professionally typically require advanced features, greater user control, security updates, and responsive support. That’s exactly what our Professional and Ultimate editions are built to do.
We also know how important your data is, and want to make sure it’s handled with the best tools possible. Our paid editions are purpose-built for production environments, helping you manage growing MongoDB projects in a secure and efficient way.
