Jira pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Jira (atlassian.com) is a project management tool. Per-user pricing in user tiers, with a free plan for up to 10 users and cheaper annual tiered prices.. Free plan: Free for up to 10 users with 2 GB of storage and community support.

What Jira costs

  • 10 users: free (Free plan covers 10 users with 2 GB storage and no project or issue cap, so $0)
  • 1 user: $9.70/mo (Standard $9.70/user/mo monthly (1-100 user tier, from Oct 13, 2026) x 1)
  • 25 users: $242.50/mo (Standard $9.70/user/mo monthly x 25 = $242.50 (annual: $2,450/yr for 25 users))

Plan compared: Free (10 users); Standard for solo and 25 users. Prices are total USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for the cheapest plan that fits the scenario: 10 or 25 full members with no practical cap on projects, tasks or storage, or one user on the cheapest paid plan. A free plan counts as $0 only when it meets the same limits.

Current prices from the live pricing page's plan data (USD, version dated 13-10-2026) and Atlassian's future-pricing tables and FAQ. The ref point is unchanged at $0 because the free plan covers 10 users; earlier yearly Atlassian increases (2023-2025) weren't verified here because web search was unavailable, so they're left out.
