MongoDB and MongoLab are the 2 main MongoDB hosted service providers who provide their servers within the AWS network and in all regions. For a startup just going live with a new product, volume is initially expected to be low but HA may also be a requirement. Obviously cost is also an issue.
With these in mind the shared instances sound like the way to go, unfortunately with MongoLab this option is not available in all AWS regions. It also comes at a big jump in price from the single server shared plan (i.e. $15 -> $89 for same storage). Bump up the budget to $200 a month and you can get a dedicated instance with much more storage and dedicated RAM. With MongoHQ it gets worse with no cluster / replica-set options available.
So moving on to dedicated instances, MongoLab provides cluster / replica-set options for as little as $200 a month, while MongoHQ doesn't do so until you reach the $1345 a month price plan. For a startup just starting out trying to save costs and not wanting to compromise on HA, seems like MongoLab is the obvious choice purely basing on the packages and price plans.
