How much will Atlassian Data Center prices increase in 2026?
Atlassian raised Data Center list prices by 15% across all user tiers for Jira, Confluence and Jira Service Management, effective 17 February 2026. Customers on legacy "advantaged" pricing saw larger rises, around 25% on average for Jira and up to roughly 40% depending on user tier.
The upcoming pricing update effective October 13, 2026, hits Atlassian Cloud products, with standard list price increases generally ranging from 3% to 10%. This rollout affects all new purchases, renewals, and plan upgrades.
The new prices apply to renewals, upgrades and new purchases from that date, so any Data Center contract renewing after 17 February 2026 is quoted at the increased rates.
The increase also sits inside a fixed wind-down, because new customers can no longer buy Data Center subscriptions after 30 March 2026, existing customers can renew or expand only until 30 March 2028, and all Data Center licences stop working on 28 March 2029.
For budget planning that timeline matters more than the percentage itself, since each annual increase now buys a shorter remaining life.

Do we need to stop using Jira during migration?
Not immediately. During the test migration phase, Jira and Easy8 can run in parallel. This allows teams to validate the migrated environment and ensure everything works as expected.
A short usage freeze window is typically required only during the final production migration.
What is the difference between Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center?
Jira Cloud is a fully hosted SaaS solution managed by Atlassian, offering automatic scaling, built-in AI features like advanced automation and predictive insights, and zero infrastructure maintenance. Jira Data Center, by contrast, runs on-premises or in your own cloud infrastructure, providing active-active clustering for high availability, extensive customization, and full data control via multi-node setups.
Cloud prioritizes ease of upgrades and rapid feature releases but limits deep customizations, while Data Center excels in performance tuning and compliance for large enterprises yet requires IT overhead.
Note that Data Center faces end of life in March 2029 with no renewals after March 2028, lacking future support.
For secure on-premises continuity, Easy8 offers a self-hosted alternative with comparable scalability, encryption, and Jira migration tools.
