Free for ten users or fewer. Then per user on your whole Jira site.

Past ten, every licensed user on the site is charged, the ten included, on a graduated scale: each band pays for the people inside it, so a large site pays the low rate on most of its headcount rather than the entry rate on all of it. Thirty days to try it, and no permanent free mode: what is free is the entry tier and the trial.

The bands, per user a month#

Per user a month: $0.45 up to 100, $0.30 from 101 to 250, and $0.14 from 251, falling further on larger sites. Every band, to the largest site:

Ten users or fewer pay nothing at all — that is a flat price for the whole site rather than the first band of this scale. From the eleventh person on, the scale is charged on every user, those ten included.

Who is counted, and why#

The count is your Jira site's licensed users — the number Atlassian already bills your Jira on, which includes everybody who will never open a dashboard. It is not the size of the team using the card, and it cannot be bought for one team: this is billed through Atlassian, against the site.

So a large site with one interested team pays on its headcount rather than on its use, which is why the rate per user falls steeply after 250 people and keeps falling. Worth knowing before you ask anybody for a budget, because it is the difference between quoting the rate and quoting the bill.

What a site pays, by the month and the year#

So a site of 15 people pays $6.75 a month, one of 50 pays $22.50, one of 120 pays $51, and one of 1,000 pays $195 — for the whole site, however many boards carry a card. Atlassian bills it with the rest of your apps.

Atlassian sells it on two cycles, and they are not the same arithmetic. Paid monthly, it is the scale above on the users your site has. Paid annually, it is a fixed tier rounded up: a site of 100 pays $450 a year, and a site of 120 pays $750, because the tier above 100 runs to 200 and the whole tier costs one price. So the rate here answers a monthly bill exactly, and an annual one only for a site that lands on a tier boundary — the calculator on the Marketplace listing is what answers for your own number. Check which of the two you are quoting before you send anybody a figure.

What needs an administrator#

A Jira administrator installs it once for the site. Adding a card to a dashboard after that needs nobody's permission: anybody who can edit a dashboard can add one.
