When we started to evaluate MongoDB hosting, I tweeted about our initial results (DB size was reported differently) and whilst MongoHQ replied on Twitter to explain the differences in reporting, the MongoLab folks reached out to me directly and asked about our business needs and seemed to genuinely care about working with us.

We continued our initial tests against the free accounts on both hosts for a while but MongoLab's ongoing engagement and interest in our data volumes and patterns made us feel much more comfortable with using them for our business so we now have a dedicated two server (+ arbiter) replica set hosted at MongoLab.

MongoLab staff also spent time on conference calls ensuring everything was set up the way we wanted and helped us do extensive failover testing before we went live. We were very impressed.

For a fully managed solution, backed by enthusiasm, expertise and a demonstrated willingness to engage and assist their customers, we think the pricing is very competitive (compared to managed data center servers which cost us about double).
