  • Each has a real cost: Capacity two-part pricing, an annual platform fee plus usage, so the bill is not knowable from the tier alone; Jira Service Management the vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 28 December 2021 named four tiers, Free, Standard, Premium, and Enterprise; the Free tier caps at 3 agents per site with one site, five major incidents per month, and unlimited alerts capped at 100 emails and 200 SMS per day, while Standard, Premium, and Enterprise each cap at 5,000 agents per site, with Enterprise adding unlimited sites and requiring a Confluence subscription for some features; per-figure dollar pricing was not shown on this capture, only per-agent pricing structure
