2 more ways to get MongoDB Compass
About MongoDB Compass
Compass is the official MongoDB interface. It browses databases and collections, runs queries with a visual builder, and has a dedicated aggregation pipeline builder that shows the output of each stage as you add it, which is far easier than writing a long pipeline blind.
It also explains query plans so you can see whether an index is being used, manages indexes, imports and exports data, and can export a query or aggregation as code in several languages. Being the vendor's own tool, it tracks new server features as they ship.
Strengths
- Aggregation pipeline builder shows the result of each stage as you build it
- Explain plans make it obvious whether a query is using an index
- Exports a query or pipeline as code in several languages
- Published by MongoDB, so it keeps pace with new server features
Limitations
- Not open source under an OSI-approved licence despite the public repository
- MongoDB only; it will not connect to anything else
- Electron, so it is heavy for what it does
- Some capabilities push you towards MongoDB's hosted Atlas service

Alternatives to MongoDB Compass
Compare allSoftware that can replace MongoDB Compass for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.
DbGate
One database client for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, SQLite, Redis and a dozen more, on desktop or as a web app.
DbGate connects to MongoDB alongside SQL databases and Redis, is open source under GPL-3.0 and runs as a web app, but lacks Compass's pipeline builder.
DBeaver Community
One database client for more than a hundred databases, with a proper SQL editor and ER diagrams.
DBeaver Community handles many databases in one open-source client, but its NoSQL support, needed for MongoDB, is reserved for the paid edition.
