People bring MonoGame in for cross-platform game development in c# and .net, shipping to windows, macos and linux from one codebase, mobile releases on android, ios and ipados, commercial indie titles with no royalty or runtime fee. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to MonoGame are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for MonoGame
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
MonoGame runs on windows, macos, linux, ios, android, playstation, xbox, and is published by MonoGame Community of Community-driven. The full record is on the MonoGame review.
