Is Jira Software Free? Free vs Standard vs Premium Jira Licenses

Is Jira Really Free? What You Get and When to Upgrade

Yes – Jira does have a Free tier, and it is far more capable than most people expect. Atlassian designed Jira Free so individuals and small teams can learn Jira, build real projects, and experiment with workflows and automation without paying anything.

What You Get with Jira Free

Jira Free supports up to 10 users. Every user automatically becomes a space administrator, which means there are no permission restrictions. Everyone can create workflows, fields, and automation rules. This makes the Free tier ideal for learning Jira, preparing for certification exams, and running proof-of-concept projects.

The Free tier includes:

  • 100 automation rule runs per month

  • 2 GB of file storage

  • Full access to Jira’s core project management features

Free Tier Limitations

Jira Free is intentionally limited for scale. Automation is capped at 100 rule runs per month, which restricts how much automation you can run. File storage is limited to 2 GB, so it is not suitable for large documentation repositories or heavy attachment usage. Jira Free also lacks advanced permission models, workflow approvals, multi-team planning, and advanced roadmaps.

Standard – For Growing Teams

Standard supports unlimited users, introduces role-based permissions, increases automation to 1,700 rule runs per month, and expands storage to 250 GB. It also unlocks AI-powered Rovo Search, Chat, and Agents.

Premium – For Multi-Team Organizations

Premium dramatically increases automation to 1,000 rule runs per user per month, unlocks unlimited storage, adds workflow approvals, and introduces advanced roadmaps and cross-project dependency planning.

Why Start Free

Jira Free is perfect for learning and certification study. When your team grows, upgrading is seamless and keeps all your data and configurations intact.
