Optimize Your Jira Investment
Unused Jira licenses, over-purchased Premium and Enterprise tiers, and duplicate Atlassian Cloud subscriptions are draining your development budget.
Common Jira Cost Issues
License Over-Provisioning
Development teams purchase Jira licenses for all engineers but many only need read-only access or use alternative tools, wasting $7.75-15.25/month per unused license.
Tier Over-Purchasing
Companies purchase Premium/Enterprise tiers for advanced features like roadmaps and automation but use less than 20% of available capabilities.
Duplicate Atlassian Subscriptions
Teams purchase separate Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket subscriptions when Atlassian bundles would be more cost-effective.
Inactive User Accounts
Former developers and contractors retain Jira access long after leaving, consuming licenses and storage quotas.

The Jira License Over-Provisioning

Additionally, Premium tier features like advanced roadmaps and automation are frequently purchased but rarely used.
