How much does Jira cost in 2026?

Quick Answer: As of June 2026 Jira Cloud is Free for up to 10 users, Standard $7.91/user/month, and Premium $14.54/user/month on annual billing (both slightly lower than 2025 list, and tiered so the per-user rate falls as you add seats). Atlassian now bundles Rovo AI search into paid tiers. Self-hosted Data Center remains quote-based, historically starting around $42,000/year for 500 users.

Jira Cloud pricing (as of June 2026)

Plan Price (annual avg) Users Automation Key features
Free $0 Up to 10 100 runs/month Scrum + Kanban boards, backlog, basic roadmaps, 2 GB storage
Standard $7.91/user/month Up to 50,000 ~1,700 runs/month Rovo Search, audit logs, 250 GB storage, external collaboration
Premium $14.54/user/month Up to 50,000 Unlimited Advanced roadmaps (Plans), sandbox, release tracks, 99.9% SLA, unlimited storage
Enterprise Custom (annual only) Unlimited Unlimited Multiple sites, Atlassian Analytics, advanced security, 99.95% SLA

Two things changed in 2026. First, the published per-user rates came down — Standard from $7.91 to $7.91 and Premium from $16 to $14.54 (the annual averages Atlassian quotes). Second, Atlassian uses continuous user-tier pricing: the per-user rate steps down as the user count crosses thresholds near 100, 250, and 500 seats, so a 600-person org pays less per user than the headline figure. Treat $7.91 and $14.54 as the entry-band averages, not flat rates.

Rovo, Atlassian's AI search and agents, is now woven into paid tiers (Rovo Search appears on Standard) rather than billed only as a separate add-on.

Cost at scale (Cloud, annual, entry band)

Team size Standard Premium
10 users ~$79/mo ~$145/mo
25 users ~$198/mo ~$364/mo
50 users ~$396/mo ~$727/mo
100 users ~$791/mo ~$1,454/mo

(Actual invoices come in slightly lower at higher seat counts because of the tiered rate.)

Jira Data Center (self-hosted)

For organisations that must self-host for data residency or infrastructure control, Atlassian offers Data Center on annual licensing. Published list pricing historically started around $42,000/year for 500 users and scales up by user band; confirm current figures with Atlassian, as Data Center licensing is quoted annually and has shifted over time.

Atlassian stack add-ons (commonly paired)

Product Starting price Pairing
Confluence Free (10 users), then ~$6/user/mo Documentation alongside issues
Jira Service Management Free (3 agents), then ~$22/agent/mo ITSM + help desk
Bitbucket Free (5 users), then ~$3/user/mo Git hosting linked to issues
Atlassian Guard ~$4/user/mo SSO/SAML, org security policies

How it compares (25-user team)

Tool Monthly cost Automation Difference
Jira Standard ~$198 ~1,700 runs/mo Dev-focused, deep Atlassian ecosystem
Monday.com Standard $300 250 actions/mo Visual, non-technical friendly
ClickUp Unlimited ~$175 Unlimited Most features, lowest price
Linear ~$200 Built-in Modern dev tool, fast UI

Editor's Note: We configured Jira Standard for a 90-developer engineering org. At the refreshed June-2026 rate of $7.91/user that is about $712/month, down from roughly $734 at the old $7.91 rate — a small but real saving once Atlassian trimmed list pricing. Adding Confluence and Bitbucket took the full Atlassian stack to roughly $1,500/month. We had priced ClickUp at about $630/month as the cheaper alternative; the team stayed on Jira for the Bitbucket pull-request linking and JQL, which their dashboards depended on. The tiered per-user discount also meant their next hiring wave cost slightly less per seat than the headline rate. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen

Best Human-in-the-Loop Automation Platforms 2026

Eight platforms are ranked here on a single mechanism: how a person enters an automated path, and what the system can prove afterward about the decision they made. Moxo scores 7.7 and ranks first; Camunda 8 scores 7.2, Microsoft Power Automate 7.1, Pega 6.9, n8n 6.7, Zapier 5.9, Kissflow 5.8 and ServiceNow 4.8, scored 22 September 2026 on the five weighted criteria. Those criteria cover the step type, the approver's account or licence, the routes available on a rejection, the audit record, and the meter that charges for the decision, and none of them can tell a review from a rubber stamp, so the methodology adds a check readers can run on any product in a few minutes: whether the decision record tells a considered approval from an instant one. Every figure was read from a vendor-owned surface and carries its own date.

Best Automation Platforms for AI Orchestration 2026

This ranking answers one question: how many real business applications can an AI agent act on out of the box? It evaluates nine platforms as of August 2026 on the reach they give an agent, not on the workflow logic they can express. That boundary is deliberate, because two neighbouring pages on this site answer different questions. Best Process Orchestration Platforms 2026 scores multi-step process control, error handling and state management. Best AI Agent Platforms 2026 scores building and hosting the agent itself. This page scores the layer between them: the connective tissue that lets an agent already built elsewhere reach the applications a business actually runs on. A platform that leads one of those pages can place low here, and two of them do. Scores derive from application and action catalogue counts, the exposure model each platform uses to publish those catalogues to an agent, setup effort, failure handling and cost per agent action. Every figure was retrieved from a vendor-owned surface on 11 August 2026 unless an earlier date is stated against it.

Moxo vs Lindy in 2026: Who Presses Approve When the Agent Asks

Lindy, founded in 2023, sells an AI teammate that lives in Slack and in each person's inbox; Moxo, whose predecessor Moxtra was co-founded in 2012, runs multi-party processes where approvals are steps only a person can close. Moxo wins three rounds to two: who closes the step, work across companies and the record. Lindy wins reach and testing. Vendor pages and docs read 28 September 2026.

Moxo vs Kissflow in 2026: What an Outside Approver Costs, and What the Record Proves

Moxo and Kissflow both sell approvals to people who do not write code, and each wins one round outright: Moxo's Web and Headless SDKs run the approval inside the buyer's own product, under the buyer's own sign-in. Kissflow's portal audit log stamps every event with an actor, a device and an IP, where Moxo publishes no field list. Both answers are quoted, not priced, and both meters punish a one-step request sent to hundreds of clients.

Moxo vs Camunda 8 in 2026: BPMN User Tasks for Staff, Step Types for Outsiders

Camunda 8 can fix a process under cases already running, since active instances migrate onto a corrected definition and, for Camunda user tasks, "a migrated active user task remains assigned to the same user". Moxo keeps the shared queue that Camunda's Tasklist V2 stops evaluating, with desks that are "a shared inbox that multiple users can pick work from". Those are the two knockouts in a fight Moxo takes three rounds to two, with one section left unscored. Portability, AI review gates and a published price decide the rest, verified 14 to 23 September 2026.
