Hi all,

I’m a student and have been working on my side-project, an application which uses a MongoDB database to store user information. I’ve set up a custom database connection on Auth0 so that Auth0 would handle the authentication through MongoDB. While I was reading the guide on custom databases, I saw the ‘Your Auth0 subscription plan affects the availability of some features’ notification.

As I’m on the free plan, what I would like to know is whether this feature is also available on the free plan or if it requires a pro plan. I watched osme YouTube videos and it looks like there used to be a notification about this feature being restricted to Enterprise, but I didn’t see that notification when setting up my own custom database, so I’m not sure.

Thank you for your help!

Hi @pouria,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Custom Database connections start at the Pro plan. If you go to our [pricing page](https://auth0.com/pricing) and click the _Compare Plans_ button you can see the breakdown.

Depending on your situation, you could potentially apply for the startup plan, but that has some additional requirements.
