  • Jamba Large is $2 per million input tokens and $8 per million output, so output-heavy work costs four times as much as input
  • Volume discounts, private cloud hosting and higher rate limits require a custom plan
  • Standard rate limits are not published

Roadmunk

  • Starter plan at $19/editor/month allows only 3 reviewers; additional reviewers cost $5 each per month
  • Enterprise plan requires custom pricing contact; feature scope and support terms not published
  • Two-way Jira and Azure DevOps sync available only on Business tier and above at additional $9/collaborator/month
  • Pricing model based per-editor seats rather than per-organisation, scaling costs significantly for larger teams
