If I understand Realm is linked to MongoDB and is not free to use?

[mongodben]

Realm database is free, open source software. You can perform database operations like CRUD, migrations, define schemas, etc without payment (as it's open source). However Realm has some built in integrations with MongoDB for BaaS and sync which are paid.

[Solido]

But you have a paid model and

I'm trying to avoid products using the list as a funnel for paid services but does not participate or help financially as they ask for traffic.

[mongodben]

that link you provided is for a deprecated product. you can find the current docs for the Realm Database SDKs here - https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/sdk/

i think we're confusing MongoDB Realm, which is a freemium backend-as-a-service (like Firebase), and Realm database, an open source mobile database (like SQLite). Admittedly, it's very confusing naming.

There is a tight integration between Realm database and MongoDB Realm, but Realm database can be used (and often is used) separately from the MongoDB Realm BaaS. In fact, right now the Realm Flutter SDK only has functionality for the mobile database, not the BaaS.

Hi,

I can not accept this link as it is linked to a commercial entity.
It has to be official when promoting any form of company and providing them visibility and traffic. Like we are doing with Stream.

Best regards,
