Atlassian Intelligence and Rovo pricing explained

Atlassian Intelligence and its Rovo offer impressive AI-driven tools for productivity, workflow integration, and centralized knowledge. For large teams juggling tasks across platforms, these solutions provide advanced tools to streamline operations. But there’s one critical factor to consider: the complicated pricing model.

Rovo, Atlassian’s core AI assistant feature, operates on a per-user billing model, meaning that each team member with access (even if they don’t use it) adds to the total cost. For teams with stable headcounts, this can be manageable.

However, for those with fluctuating sizes, seasonal projects, or cross-department needs, these per-user fees can stack up quickly. Additionally, Rovo’s usage quotas and potential overage fees can make budgeting tricky, especially when team usage varies significantly.

In this article, we’ll break down the pricing structures of Atlassian Intelligence and Rovo to show where costs can increase and how these tools may impact your budget flexibility. If you’re looking for a reliable AI solution, understanding these details will help you determine if these tools align with your goals. So, let’s dive in.

Atlassian Intelligence and Rovo pricing structure

Atlassian Intelligence is offered as part of the Premium and Enterprise plans for Atlassian’s product, so just using Atlassian Intelligence features, not Rovo, will not incur additional costs outside of making sure you’re at least on the Premium plan. This can be costly if your team doesn’t require anything more than the Standard plan.

Rovo pricing plan

Rovo is a different story entirely. It works on a per-user billing model, meaning that every person with access to Rovo capabilities adds to the total cost. This structure can work well if your team size is stable, but expenses may rise if your team grows or if more departments need access. It is approximately $16 USD per user, on a monthly basis, but incremental discounts are given for more users. For example, at 1000 users, it is $12 USD per user per month.

The per-user model means each team member with access incurs a cost, even if they use the AI tools only occasionally. For smaller or stable teams, this setup can be fairly predictable, allowing you to budget based on a set number of users.

However, if your team is expanding, includes temporary hires, or if multiple departments need access, those per-user fees can quickly add up, making budgeting harder as needs fluctuate.

Beyond per-user fees, high-volume usage of Atlassian Intelligence’s advanced features – such as automated summaries, natural language search, and task suggestions – can be a big problem.

For Atlassian’s Rovo, there are two types of quotas for usage, defined as Objects and Requests. Each quota type is determined by the number of billed user licenses your organization holds. Here’s how each works and may incur fees in the future:

1. Objects: These are individual items indexed by Rovo connectors, like a document in SharePoint or Google Drive, a chat thread in Slack or Teams, or a webpage. Each organization has a pool of objects they can index based on the number of billed user licenses. For example, if an organization has 200 billed users, they can index up to 300,000 objects (200 users * 1500 limit).
2. Requests: These are interactions sent to Rovo Chat or Rovo Agents, either by you or teammates. Similar to objects, requests are pooled across the organization based on the number of licenses. For example, with 200 billed users, the organization can make 50,000 requests per month (200 users * 250 limit). This limit resets at the end of each billing period or monthly for annual subscriptions.

Currently, Rovo usage is within Atlassian’s Acceptable Use Policy, meaning there are no additional costs for going over limits. However, in the future, going beyond these quotas for either objects or requests will result in additional charges based on actual usage.

Want something more flexible and cost-effective?

If you’re looking for a powerful AI tool without the hassle of layered fees and usage quotas, eesel AI is an option worth considering.

Unlike Atlassian Intelligence and Rovo, which rely on per-user fees and can have unpredictable costs, eesel AI keeps things simple with a flat-rate pricing model that’s built to scale with your team. And, here’s how:

Flat-rate, quota-free pricing

One of eesel AI’s biggest strengths is its flat-rate pricing. You pay a single, predictable rate that doesn’t change based on the number of users or the volume of usage. Instead, eesel provides a monthly interaction limit. When you reach the limit, you can choose to purchase more interactions. No automatic charges or fees.

• No surprises in your budget if your team size fluctuates or if you experience periods of high activity.
• Everyone can access AI features without added costs.
• Straightforward pricing for predictable budgeting

Unlimited integrations at no extra charge

eesel AI also connects smoothly with popular third-party tools, such as Google Drive, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, without adding extra fees for each integration.

• Integrate across any platform
• Centralized access, no extra costs per platform

Scalable for teams of all sizes

eesel AI’s pricing model is built to adapt as your team grows. Whether you’re a small team testing AI for the first time or a large organization with comprehensive AI needs, eesel’s flat-rate model provides a flexible solution.

• Add or remove users as needed without worrying about increased costs.
• Flexible customization for who has access to which information
• Multiple bots for Team plans and above.

This makes eesel AI ideal for teams expecting to grow or those with seasonal changes in user count. You won’t need to predict or limit user numbers to control your expenses – just add new members as you go.

Bottom line: finding the right AI fit for your team

Atlassian Intelligence and Rovo bring powerful tools to boost productivity and streamline collaboration, especially for teams already using Atlassian products. But their layered pricing – with per-user fees, usage limits, and extra costs for integrations – can make it tough to budget if your team needs more flexibility or plans to grow.

For teams deeply invested in Atlassian’s ecosystem, Atlassian Intelligence’s task automation and Rovo’s cross-platform search can be great for productivity – especially when usage is steady. But if you’re looking for a simpler, more predictable AI solution, eesel AI might be a better fit.

eesel AI offers flat-rate, quota-free pricing, and unlimited integrations, so you get robust AI features without any surprise fees. This makes it ideal for teams with changing needs or growing headcounts.

In the end, it all comes down to your team’s budget and growth plans. If you’re looking for AI-powered support without complex pricing, give eesel AI’s free trial  a go (no payment info required) and see for yourself how we can work for you.
