| Free tier | Up to 10 users, 2 GB storage and 100 automation rule runs/month | unlimited members, 2 teams, 250 issues total, 10 MB uploads, and 15 release pipelines |
| Additional costs | The per-user rate changes with team size, so the bill is not a simple headline-price multiplication. Marketplace apps, Guard beyond included entitlements and other Atlassian products add cost. Rovo credits currently do not incur automatic overage charges; Atlassian says it will provide notice before changing that. | Every unsuspended workspace member is billable; annual plans receive monthly seat true-ups and removals create invoice credits rather than cash refunds. Linear's AI agents use separately prepaid credits: ad-hoc purchases start at $10 and auto-reload starts at $50. |
