Jira prices: how they are calculated<\/h2>\n

For Jira Software,<\/strong> license costs depend on the number of users for which the software is unlocked. In addition, the prices change depending on the hosting variant (Server, Data Center or Cloud). The license price increases as soon as the number of users exceeds a certain level. A company with 100 Jira users pays the same price for the Jira license as a company with 480, because the next higher (and more expensive) tier starts at 501 users.<\/p>\n

You should know exactly how many Jira licenses you really need \u2013 and when it is time to move to the next user tier.<\/p>\n

Minimize Jira license costs: our tips<\/h2>\n

The graphs just shown illustrate the differences in licensing costs for varying hosting options. Therefore, the first tip:<\/p>\n

Choose the right Jira hosting option<\/h3>\n

To ensure that your Jira pricing meets your needs, it is important to choose the right hosting variant.<\/p>\n

Jira Software Server, <\/strong>for example, will only be supported by Atlassian until February 15, 2024. Accordingly, purchasing new Jira Server licenses in order to operate in the long term is not worthwhile. Also keep in mind that the average lifespan of a server is three to five years. Physical servers also take up quite a bit of space \u2013 which in turn shows up in your budget.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”info-box-general”]Do you already own a Jira Server license and want to continue to benefit from ongoing innovations and bug fixes beyond this date? Then migrate to <\/strong>Data Center <\/strong><\/a>or <\/strong>Cloud <\/strong><\/a>now! <\/strong>We will be happy to support you in your migration decision.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

With Jira Software Data Center,<\/strong> you host the products either on your own infrastructure or through a Cloud provider. As a result, you must have the internal resources as well as the technical expertise to effectively run and maintain Jira.<\/p>\n

Jira Software Cloud<\/strong> is ideally suited for many organizations. This is because you reduce operating costs and benefit from the latest features first. In addition, you enjoy real-time software maintenance and 24\/7 support.<\/p>\n

Keeping an eye on Jira user tiers<\/h3>\n

As mentioned earlier, Jira prices increase immensely once the next user tier is reached. It often happens that you reach a new level even though you don’t have that many active users. How do you go about minimizing license costs here?<\/p>\n
