How much does MySQL cost?

For normal use MySQL costs nothing. When you sell MySQL directly or as a part of another product you have to pay for it. See section The MySQL server license.

The client access part of MySQL is in the public domain. The command line client includes parts that is under the GNU Public License (readline).

These are our current license prices. All prices are in US Dollars. If you pay by credit card, the currency is FIM (Finish Marks) so the prices will differ slightly.

Number of licenses Price/Copy Total
1 US $200 US $200
10 pack US $150 US $1500
50 pack US $120 US $6000
For high volume (OEM) purchases the following prices apply:
licenses Price/Copy Minimum at one time Minimum Payment
100-1000 $40 100 $4000
1000-2500 $25 200 $5000
2500-5000 $20 400 $8000
The OEM prices require that you act as a middle-man for eventual problems/extension requests from users. We also require that the OEM customer has a support contract. If you have a low-margin high-volume product, you can always talk to us about other terms (for example a percent of the sale price). If you do, please be informative about your product, pricing, market and any other information that may be relevant.
