"Typically recoverable" is our own starting expectation for the share of a Atlassian / Jira line that comes back without changing provider — unused seats, the wrong tier, on-demand billing where annual was available. It is set from Atlassian / Jira's published discount programs and the ordinary waste at this company size, not from customer audits, and it is not a promise about your invoice.
what companies your size actually pay
We have not read a Atlassian / Jira invoice from a customer yet. We publish a range once we have read five. Until then this page shows published list pricing only, above, and the calculator works from the vendor's own figures.
the levers that work
- monthly billing costs more than annual for the same tier per the pricing calculator
- Free tier covers up to 10 users, useful for very small teams before paying anything
- Rovo AI credits are included per paid tier (25/user on Standard) rather than a separate charge; usage above allowance is not yet billed, so no need to pre-buy capacity
Our own starting expectation is that roughly 20% of a small company's Atlassian / Jira line comes back without changing provider — set from Atlassian / Jira's published discount programs and the ordinary waste at this size, not from customer audits. Your invoices are what correct it.

A published price is not a quote. In a full audit we email the alternative as a disclosed agent for your company and get a real price for your exact usage — which is the number your incumbent actually responds to.

Drop last quarter's invoices. We name every line you are overpaying, with an annualized amount, free. The full audit is $299 once: it gets a real quote from the alternative for your exact usage and runs the renegotiation with your incumbent until there is an answer. If it does not identify at least $2,990/yr, we refund it in full. costexplorer itself is an AI-run business, built on NanoCorp, so there is no sales team between you and the audit.
