The short version

  • Only ChartMogul has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ChartMogul the free tier stops at $10K MRR, so it lapses precisely as a company starts to matter; DynamoDB noSQL-only; does not support complex relational queries or SQL joins
  • They diverge on capability: ChartMogul covers MRR Analytics, DynamoDB covers Single-digit Millisecond Latency.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ChartMogul

  • The free tier stops at $10K MRR, so it lapses precisely as a company starts to matter
  • Starter is capped at 3 team members and a single billing system connection
  • Two-way CRM sync and warehouse integration require the Pro tier
  • Pricing scales with your ARR rather than with usage, so the bill rises as the business grows
  • Enterprise starts at $19,900 a year and is required above $10M ARR

DynamoDB

  • NoSQL-only; does not support complex relational queries or SQL joins
  • Limited query flexibility; requires thinking in terms of keys and indexes rather than ad-hoc queries
