The short version

  • Only Jira has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CloudAMQP free shared RabbitMQ plan caps at 1 million messages per month and 20 connections, per cloudamqp.com/plans.html (Aug 2026); the next tier at $19/month raises the cap to only 10 million messages; Jira free tier strictly limited to 10 users with only 2 GB storage; unsuitable for growing teams

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CloudAMQP

  • Free shared RabbitMQ plan caps at 1 million messages per month and 20 connections, per cloudamqp.com/plans.html (Aug 2026); the next tier at $19/month raises the cap to only 10 million messages
  • Dedicated plans span $50 to $17,495 per month depending on throughput tier, per cloudamqp.com, so production-grade throughput above 500 msg/s requires the paid dedicated tiers rather than the shared plan

Jira

  • Free tier strictly limited to 10 users with only 2 GB storage; unsuitable for growing teams
  • Per-seat pricing ($7.91–$14.54/user/month) accumulates significantly for large teams; 50-person team costs £3,955–7,270 monthly
  • Enterprise tier requires annual billing and sales contact; no transparent per-user pricing available
  • Premium features (cross-team planning, advanced automation) available only at $14.54/user/month tier or above
