Best Spatial Databases in 2026
Updated
In short: MySQL is ranked #1 of 32 as of 4 October 2026, ahead of RavenDB and Teradata VantageCloud. The best-ranked option with a free plan is RavenDB. The lowest first paid tier on this page is Google Cloud SQL at $0.04/mo.
A spatial database needs to suit both the data you work with and the way you query and deploy it. Compare spatial data types with 3D geometry and raster support, then consider coordinate transforms for handling spatial information. Query interface and deployment model describe other dimensions of working with a database, while free-plan availability and paid-from pricing help frame cost. MySQL, RavenDB, and Teradata VantageCloud are among the entries, alongside CockroachDB Cloud and Supabase. The listed capabilities give you practical points of comparison for deciding which database merits a closer look for your spatial workloads.
32 spatial databases ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
