Every category where a model named MongoDB for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“If you need a quick start with flexible JSON documents and strong consistency: MongoDB Community Edition self-hosted, or Atlas Free/Flex for a managed free tier.” Muse Glimmer 30B · NoSQL · budget prompt · first choice
“Often the default choice for B2B applications... For most mid-market B2B companies without extreme scale requirements, MongoDB ... are safe bets.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · NoSQL · direct prompt · first choice
“MongoDB Community Edition is often considered the most popular choice for budget-conscious companies due to its balance of features and ease of use.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · NoSQL · budget prompt · first choice
“If you need a general-purpose NoSQL database, MongoDB Community Edition is a good budget default when your team can manage hosting” GPT-6 Luna · NoSQL · budget prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Avoid: Ingesting high-volume time-series data into general-purpose document stores like MongoDB solely because it accepts JSON easily.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Telemetry pipelines · negative prompt · hard negative
“MongoDB's Change Streams to act as an event pipeline ... databases are not optimized for this pattern” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Streaming · negative prompt · hard negative
“MongoDB's own docs warn that sharded clusters require careful planning and that poor shard-key choice can hurt scalability and performance.” GPT-5.4 mini · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative
“The most popular document database and production-ready, but with a long history of internet-exposed instances and NoSQL injection risk.” Muse Glimmer 30B · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named MongoDB. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 192 of the 236 answers that named MongoDB and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page mongodb.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.
Names read as MongoDB
What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as MongoDB; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?
Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when MongoDB's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as MongoDB, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for MongoDB by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where MongoDB is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name MongoDB, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
