## Specific feature Plans

**Warning:**

**NOTE:** The MongoDB® engine has different plan names. See [this guide](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/databases/mongodb-capabilities-limitations.md#plans) for more information about MongoDB® plans.

#### Essential/Discovery

The Essential/Discovery plan typically offers the basic features and functionalities required for managing an engine. It is designed for test and development environments or non-critical projects.

 

#### Business/Production

The Business/Production plan is more comprehensive and suitable for organizations with higher engine demands. This is the first production-ready offering.

 

#### Enterprise

The enterprise pricing plan is the most advanced and robust option available for managed engines. It is dedicated to organizations with complex and high-performance engine requirements.

 

#### Plan capabilities overview

Here is an overview of the various plans' capabilities:

|                   |                         |                         |                |
