Jira pricing overview

Jira helps teams plan, track, and manage work using customisable workflows. It was originally designed for software development with agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban but now serves various industries for task management, issue tracking, and process automation.

Jira’s pricing model has always been flexible and customisable. As of 2025, however, Atlassian has implemented several pricing changes that Singapore businesses need to be aware of. Current plan options are based on deployment type (Cloud or Data Centre) and team size. For the purposes of this article, we’ll focus on the most popular and most convenient deployment type, Jira Cloud.

The pricing model includes four plans, tiered based on features. The more users, the higher the overall price, but the cheaper each individual user becomes.

Here's a breakdown of Jira plans:¹

Plan	Monthly price per user (billed monthly)	Monthly price per user (billed annually)	User limit
Free	USD 0	USD 0	Up to 10 users
Standard	From USD 8.60 (Up to 10 users)	From USD 7.29 (Up to 10 users)	Up to 50,000 users
Premium	From USD 17.00 (Up to 10 users)	From USD 14.17 (Up to 10 users)	Up to 50,000 users
Enterprise	Contact Sales	Contact Sales	Unlimited

What is the pricing currency for Jira?

Atlassian prices Jira in USD, which means Singapore businesses will need to consider currency conversion rates. All quoted prices in this guide are in USD, so the actual amount you pay will depend on:

• Current exchange rates
• Any foreign transaction fees from your payment provider
• Potential pricing adjustments for the Singapore market

This is where having a multi-currency account can be beneficial. With a Wise Business account, you can hold and manage 40+ currencies and pay for subscriptions like Jira with minimal conversion fees at the mid-market exchange rate.

It's important to note you might encounter a couple of other scenarios where your business in Singapore gets charged Jira fees in a foreign currency rather than SGD. By understanding these scenarios, you can take proactive steps to manage your billing effectively and avoid unnecessary foreign transaction fees.

💡Considerations for Cross-Currency Billing:
Centralised Payment Systems: If your business (eg. a Singapore subsidiary) uses a centralised payment system or corporate credit card based in another country, your Jira account might be linked to this system, resulting in billing in the currency of the payment system rather than SGD. This can lead to additional currency conversion fees.
Initial Account Setup: If your Jira account was initially set up by your business in another country before establishing a branch in Singapore, the account might still be billed in the original currency unless updated. This is another scenario where you might incur cross-currency charges.

Free Plan Pricing

The Free plan is a permanent option designed for small teams and startups. It has all of Jira’s project management essentials. Many larger businesses use the Free plan as a kind of free trial.

Free Plan Features

The Free plan includes:¹

Is Jira Free Plan right for my business?

The Free plan is ideal for:

• Projects with basic requirements that don't need advanced features

If your Singapore business is small, budget-conscious, and doesn't require complex project management features, the Free plan offers unbeatable value - after all, it’s completely free. However, once your team grows beyond 10 users or you need advanced features like custom workflows or more storage, you'll need to upgrade.

Standard Plan Pricing

The Standard plan costs USD 8.60 per user per month (for up to 10 users) when billed monthly, or approximately USD 7.29 when billed annually (a rough saving of 17%). Bigger teams can expect to see bigger savings per user.

For example, a 200-person team would pay:

• Monthly billing: USD 7.95 per user per month (USD 19,080 annually)

• Projects requiring more complex permission settings and security

If your Singapore business has more than 10 team members, needs customisable workflows, or requires professional support, the Standard plan provides good value while remaining cost-effective for small to medium-sized businesses.

Premium Plan Pricing

The Premium plan costs USD 17.00 per user per month (for up to 10 users) when billed monthly, or approximately USD 14.17 when billed annually (again, a rough saving of 17%).

How much do Jira add-ons cost?

Jira's functionality can be extended through various add-ons and integrations available in the Atlassian Marketplace. Pricing for these add-ons varies widely, with many apps offering free roll-out for up to 10 users. All of these apps offer a 30-day free trial for all businesses.²

• Free add-ons: Many basic extensions cost nothing
• Paid add-ons: On average range from USD 0.50 to over USD 10 per user per month, depending on functionality and business size
• Popular add-ons include Power BI Connector, Tempo Timesheets, and ScriptRunner

How to save on your Jira bill next month

Jira pricing isn’t going down any time soon, but smart planning can significantly reduce your Jira expenses. Here are some practical tips:

1. Choose the right user tier: Jira's pricing increases with user count, so regularly audit your active users and remove accounts that aren't needed.
2. Opt for annual billing: Save approximately 17% by paying annually instead of monthly.
3. Start with a smaller plan: Begin with the Free or Standard plan and upgrade only when necessary, rather than overpaying for features you don't use yet.
4. Regularly audit app usage: The cost of Marketplace apps can add up quickly. Review and remove those that aren't providing value.
5. Minimise currency conversion costs: Use a Wise Business multi-currency card to pay for your Jira subscription at the mid-market exchange rate, avoiding the hidden markups typically charged by banks.
6. Optimise your site: Regularly clean up old projects, issues, and workflows to maintain performance and reduce the need for early upgrades.

Jira vs. Asana - price comparison

When comparing project management tools, Asana is one of Jira's main competitors. Here's how their pricing compares:

Free/ Personal	Free (Up to 10 users)	Free (Up to 15 users)	Jira: Project overview, backlog, basic roadmaps. Asana: Unlimited storage, project overviews
Standard/ Starter	USD 7.75	USD 10.99	Jira: Scrum/Kanban Boards, backlog management, basic roadmaps, and 250GB storage, and standard support. Asana: Unlimited tasks, projects, messages, activity log, and file storage (100MB/file). Basic workflows and integrations.

*Details accurate as of March 20, 2025

Jira and Asana structure their pricing tiers differently.

Jira reserves advanced development features for higher-tier plans, ideal for larger teams needing scalability. Asana spreads its collaboration tools more evenly across tiers, focusing on usability.

Tldr: Singapore SMEs might find Asana's lower tiers better value initially, but Jira becomes more cost-effective as teams grow and need specialised development capabilities.
