How billing works for Rovo Dev
Rovo Dev is an intelligent, context-aware agent for professional software engineers. It understands natural language and code, integrates with Atlassian tools, and accelerates the software development lifecycle by handling planning, code generation, reviews, and allowing you to bulk automate tasks. It’s available as a paid Standard subscription, or as a free extra for some existing Jira and Bitbucket subscriptions. Both versions of Rovo Dev provide an allowance of Rovo Dev credits per user.

What’s the difference between the paid and free versions of Rovo Dev?
Rovo Dev as a free extra
For a limited time, some existing paid Jira and Bitbucket subscriptions will provide access to a free version of Rovo Dev. This means that for some customers, as part of your existing Jira or Bitbucket subscription, you’ll receive a set limit of 350 Rovo Dev credits per user, per month. Once a user has used up their free limit, they can’t use anymore until their usage renews at the start of the next billing cycle. You won’t be charged extra for Rovo Dev on Jira or Bitbucket, and it won’t appear on your invoice. For more Rovo Dev credits, organization admins can also upgrade users to Rovo Dev Standard.
Rovo Dev Standard
If you sign up to Rovo Dev Standard, each user will have an allowance of 2,000 Rovo Dev credits per month. They’ll be allowed to go over this amount for an additional charge — unless an organization admin has set an additional usage limit which prevents them from using extra. Any additional usage charges will be added to the next invoice.
| Rovo Dev as a free extra | Rovo Dev Standard |
|---|---|---|
Cost | Free with Jira | USD 20 per user per month, plus any extra usage charges |
Rovo Dev credit allowance | 350 per user/month | 2000 per user/month |
Additional usage | Not available | Available for an additional charge (up to the limit set by an admin) |
Usage limits | Not applicable | Available for organization admins to set |
What’s the difference between Rovo Dev credits and Rovo credits?
Rovo Dev credits can only be used for Rovo Dev functionality, and are tracked separately. Rovo credits are used for interactions across Rovo and Rovo Agents, which can be used across a number of Atlassian apps.
Billing for Rovo Dev Standard
Your bill for Rovo Dev Standard is made up of your subscription charge per user (USD 20 per user/month), plus any additional usage charges (charged at USD 0.01 per additional Rovo Dev credit). Additional usage isn’t charged for straight away — it’s added to the next invoice which is issued and charged for at the end of the billing cycle. More about how usage affects your bill

Monitoring usage and setting limits
If you’re a billing admin, you can view the total additional usage and charges in your billing account. To do this:
Select your Rovo Dev Standard subscription from your subscription list or billing preview screen.
Select the Usage tab.
Organization admins are also able to monitor and view a detailed breakdown of their team’s usage in Atlassian Administration. Billing admins will be able to see the number of users who have used additional Rovo Dev credits, plus the total additional usage across the site.
Monitoring usage in Atlassian Administration
From Atlassian Administration, go to Insights
From the Platform usage drop-down, select Rovo Dev credits
Select the Users tab.
Updating the additional usage limit in Atlassiab Administration
By default, each user will be able to use an additional 2,000 Rovo Dev credits, which means users will be able to use more than their Rovo Dev credit allowance by default. Organization admins are able to disable or update the extra usage limit. To do this:
From Atlassian Administration, go to Insights
From the Platform usage drop-down, select Rovo Dev credits
Select the Credit settings tab
Either turn off the Enable extra usage limit toggle, or edit the default limit by selecting the edit icon next to the existing limit.
Enter the updated number of Rovo Dev credits you’d like each user will be able to use in addition to their allowance of credits
Select Save.
Any amount that is used by any user over their allowance will incur additional charges. We recommend that organization admins review this setting and the default additional usage limit once the subscription is up and running to ensure they’re aware of any potential bill impact.
Once a user uses their usage limit of Rovo Dev credits, Rovo Dev functionality will be disabled until their usage resets at the next billing cycle.
Additional charges
Additional usage is charged at $0.01 per Rovo Dev credit over the allowance. This means that, for example, a Rovo Dev Standard user who uses an additional 500 credits will incur an extra charge of USD 5 (0.01 x 500).
Billing example:
You have a Rovo Dev Standard subscription with 100 users across your site. As part of the subscription, each user has an allowance of 2,000 Rovo Dev credits. Your organization admin has updated the additional usage limit to 500 credits.
Over the course of the month, 50 users use their allowance of Rovo Dev credits, and no extra. The other 50 use up their limit of 500 additional Rovo Dev credits.
Assuming the user count doesn't change:
Base subscription charge (price per user x number of users): 20 x 100 = USD 2,000
Total additional usage charges (additional usage charge x additional usage amount): (0.01 x 500) x 50 users = USD 250
Total bill estimate (base subscription charge + additional usage charges): 2,000 + 250 = USD 2,250
Additional usage charges are added to the next invoice at the end of the billing cycle.
Switching to Rovo Dev Standard
If your team runs out of Rovo Dev credits on your Jira site, organization admins can switch individual users to Rovo Dev Standard.
If users have requested Rovo Dev Standard:
From Atlassian Administration, head to Apps > User requests > Access requests tab.
You'll see a list of users who have requested a Rovo Dev Standard seat.
Select Approve to grant access.
From the existing Rovo Dev app:
From Atlassian Administration, go to the Rovo Dev app in the App list.
Select Manage app from the three-dot menu
Add users to the relevant group to upgrade them to the Standard plan.
Once given a Rovo Dev Standard seat, users will get a larger allowance of 2,000 Rovo Dev credits, replacing their existing 350 credit allowance.
