How much is Rovo Dev and what do the 2,000 Rovo Dev credits cover?
Rovo Dev Standard is $20 per developer per month and includes 2,000 Rovo Dev credits for terminal AI, AI-powered code review, and context from the Teamwork Graph. The included allowance resets monthly rather than rolling over. Atlassian documents a default extra-usage limit of 2,000 more Rovo Dev credits per user per month, billed at $0.01 per credit. That makes the published default planning ceiling $40 per user per month before tax: $20 for the seat plus at most $20 in extra credits, unless an admin changes the cap.
How many code reviews or CLI tasks do 350 and 2,000 Rovo Dev credits cover?
Atlassian says the eligibility-dependent Rovo Dev Free allowance of 350 credits typically covers about 2–8 code reviews or 1–10 Rovo Dev CLI tasks. Its 2,000-credit Standard allowance typically covers about 20–75 code reviews or 5–50 CLI tasks. These are planning ranges, not guarantees: a complex review or task consumes more credits, so run a small pilot and inspect the per-feature usage view before setting a team-wide limit.
Is Rovo Dev free, and is there a trial?
Atlassian's public Rovo Dev pricing FAQ says there is no broadly available free tier and that limited monthly credits may be offered gradually to selected qualifying Jira Cloud sites that already use Rovo. Separately, its current billing and usage documentation names that site-level path Rovo Dev Free: 350 credits per user per month per activated Jira site, no paid extra usage, and access pauses at the limit. Treat it as eligibility-dependent rather than a universal free plan. Rovo Dev Standard has a 30-day trial, then costs $20 per developer per month for 2,000 credits plus any approved extra usage. The trial does not include the CLI or Rovo Dev in the IDE, so it cannot by itself validate every developer surface.
What can the 30-day Rovo Dev Standard trial actually test?
Atlassian says Rovo Dev CLI and Rovo Dev in the IDE are not available during the Standard trial. Trial users retain access to other generally available Rovo Dev features, including code reviews in Bitbucket and GitHub. A team must switch to paid Standard to validate terminal or IDE fit, so use the trial to test the code-review workflow, credit allocation, and billing setup instead of assuming every developer surface is available.
What changed for Rovo Dev in Jira?
Atlassian's current trial documentation says Rovo Dev in Jira is transitioning to Jira Coding Agent starting June 22, 2026, and that Jira Coding Agent is available with all paid Jira editions. CLI, IDE, and AI code review remain Rovo Dev Standard capabilities. Keep a Jira Coding Agent evaluation separate from a Rovo Dev Standard CLI or IDE rollout: existing Jira agent activity does not prove that the paid developer workflow fits your team.
How much does Atlassian Rovo actually cost if we already use Jira and Confluence?
Rovo Search, Chat, Agents, and Studio are included at no extra seat cost inside eligible paid Standard, Premium, and Enterprise Cloud plans. For Jira, Confluence, and Service Collection / JSM, the allowance scales from 25 credits on Standard to 70 on Premium and 150 on Enterprise, with indexed-object caps of 100, 250, and 625 per user. Teamwork Collection has larger allowances: 250, 700, and 1,500 credits plus 1,000, 2,500, and 6,250 indexed objects per user.
Will Atlassian bill us for core Rovo credit overage?
Atlassian says core Rovo extra-usage billing takes effect on December 3, 2026. Extra usage is enabled by default, with a current list price of $0.01 per Rovo credit; organization and billing admins can disable it or set spending limits. Rovo Dev Standard already has its own $0.01-per-credit extra usage after the included 2,000 credits.
When is Rovo pricing worse than a Glean or ChatGPT Business contract?
Rovo becomes a weaker buy when the real knowledge problem spans far beyond Atlassian or when the team needs a simple unlimited-style AI seat without credit accounting. Glean is easier to defend for open cross-stack enterprise search, and ChatGPT Business is simpler when one seat should cover general research, writing, and code-adjacent work rather than Jira-and-Confluence grounded answers.
Do Atlassian Remote MCP Server calls use up Rovo credits?
Connecting the Rovo MCP Server is free, but enriched Teamwork Graph context retrieved through MCP consumes Rovo credits. Teams extending Atlassian context into external assistants should therefore test the real credit burn and set a cap before broader rollout.
