What It Could Cost You

Run the Numbers on Your Automation.

Automation is where we see the biggest surprises. Plug in your monthly step count and your organization's allowance to see what December could look like.

Find both numbers in Atlassian Administration under Insights, then Platform usage. Not sure where to look? We'll pull them for you.

Automation steps per month 20.0M

Your pooled monthly allowance 5.0M

Estimated monthly overage$7,500

Estimated yearly overage$90,000

Estimate only, at Atlassian's list price of $0.50 per 1,000 steps above your allowance. Every 1 million steps you remove saves about $500 a month.

The Missing Piece

Atlassian Shows You the Bill. We Show You What's Behind It.

Atlassian's Platform usage page tells you how much your organization used against its allowance. It doesn't tell you which rule, user or team is responsible, or what to change. That's the part that saves you money.

Stop Rules Early

Add a single check at the top of high-volume rules so irrelevant changes stop after one step instead of running through every condition.

Consolidate Duplicate Rules

Add a single check at the top of high-volume rules so irrelevant changes stop after one step instead of running through every condition.

Trim Wasted Steps

Remove wrappers and conditions that add steps without changing the outcome. Same result, smaller bill.

Right-size Your Plan

Compare a tier change, a collection, pre-purchased usage packs and pay-as-you-go against your real usage, and choose with the numbers in hand.

Set Smart Limits

Use alerts and caps where they make sense. We help you avoid caps that pause automations your teams depend on mid-month.

Keep it Lean, Every Month

Usage grows as teams adopt more AI and automation. Our Managed Services team monitors, forecasts and tunes your environment so costs don't creep back.

Praecipio Intelligence

Now With Usage and Cost Intelligence.

Praecipio Intelligence already analyzes Atlassian environments for migration readiness and Cloud health. Now its report reads every Atlassian usage meter, traces each charge to its source and shows you what to change.

Connect

Read-only access to your Atlassian Cloud site. Nothing is changed while we look.

Step 2

Trace

Every charge is placed on the rule, user, team or business unit that carries it.

Step 3

Model

We project the months ahead and test proposed fixes before anything is touched.

Step 4

Prove

After an approved change, we check the next month's reading against the prediction.

CASE STUDY

A 68% Cut, Before the Bill

Ahead of December 3, a global cybersecurity company faced a projected $35,000 to $37,000 a month in automation overage. Our read-only analysis found that 96% of its automation runs checked their conditions and then did nothing, yet every check was billed. Upgrading tiers would have saved only about $2,000 a month. Instead, Praecipio recommended one early check at the top of each high-volume rule, so irrelevant changes stop after a single step. The result: a modelled 68% drop in automation usage and about $26,400 a month in projected savings, with every rule still doing exactly what it did before.

Will this change what I pay right away?

Not necessarily. Most paid plans include a monthly allowance at no extra cost. You only pay more if your organization goes over it, and billing for usage above the allowance starts December 3, 2026 for most meters.

Does unused allowance roll over?

No. Allowances are pooled across your organization, refresh every month and any unused amount expires.

What happens if we go over our allowance?

Atlassian sends alerts at 80% and 100%. From there you can upgrade your plan, move to a collection, buy usage packs or pay as you go. We help you work out which option costs least for your real usage, and whether reducing usage beats all of them.

Are all Atlassian AI features billable?

No. Search, summaries and inline suggestions stay free. Rovo Chat, Agents, Think Deeper, the Coding Agent and third-party API calls use credits.

Can't we just cap our usage?

You can, but when a meter hits its cap, those automations stop until the monthly reset, and anything that happened during the pause isn't replayed. We help you decide where caps are safe and where it's cheaper to fix the rule.

Will you change our automation rules?

Not without your approval. The analysis is read-only. Any change is approved by a named person on your team, applied safely with a snapshot of the original, and can be rolled back.

Is this a one-time project?

It can be. Many teams start with an assessment and a pilot, then add Managed Services so usage is monitored and tuned every month as AI and automation adoption grows.
