Pay for the team you manage,
not the seats you buy
Kraken is priced like other Jira Marketplace apps — based on the number of users in your Jira instance. The more users you manage, the more admin work we save you.
| Users in your Jira instance | Monthly | Annual /mo | Annual total | vs. $100k admin |
|---|
Admin automation + reporting.
Included together, no add-on.
Most teams pay twice — once for the admin work, again for a charting add-on like Custom Charts for Jira (up to $303/mo at 100 users). Kraken does both: it automates your Jira admin and auto-generates branded, scheduled, AI-narrated dashboards. The full reporting suite is included free on every plan. Two products for the price of one.
| Jira users | Custom Charts add-on /mo | With Kraken | You save /mo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 | ~$10 | Included | ~$10 |
| Up to 25 | ~$76 | Included | ~$76 |
| Up to 50 | ~$152 | Included | ~$152 |
| Up to 100 THEIR SWEET SPOT | ~$303 | Included | ~$303 |
| Up to 250 | ~$455 | Included | ~$455 |
| Up to 500 | ~$365 | Included | ~$365 |
| Up to 1,000 | ~$730 | Included | ~$730 |
They're "no-code" — you still hand-build every chart. Kraken generates the whole dashboard from a ticket or a schedule.
Kraken emails the report Monday 9am and posts it to Jira. Theirs is view-only when you log in.
"Backlog growing +104 — triage the 19 Highest first." Theirs just draws the chart.
They report the backlog. Kraken grants the access, fixes the field, and runs the sprint.
Not ready to let a bot change your Jira? Connect Kraken with read-only access and use it purely for dashboards and reports — it analyzes every project and delivers the data, with zero automated changes. Turn automation on whenever you're ready: per action, per category, or all at once. You get the reporting either way.
The average Jira admin costs $100k/year.
Kraken costs a fraction of that.

Pricing FAQ
How do you count "users"?
We count the number of licensed Jira users in your instance — the same number Atlassian charges you for. You can find this under Jira Admin → User Management. We re-verify at each billing cycle.
What if my user count changes mid-year?
On monthly plans, you're automatically billed at the correct tier for your current user count. On annual plans, we bill at your starting tier and let you know if you grow into a higher tier.
Do I need a credit card to start a trial?
No. The 30-day free trial includes full features for up to 25 users — no card required. You'll only be asked for payment details if you want to continue after the trial.
Can I manage multiple Jira instances?
Yes. All paid plans include support for multiple Jira instances. Each instance's user count is billed separately — but contact us if you have several large instances and want a bundle discount.
Is there a discount for nonprofits or startups?
Yes — we offer 50% off for nonprofits and early-stage startups (under 10 employees). Email [email protected] with a brief description.
