Atlassian Data Center Price Changes in 2026

Atlassian has announced pricing changes for its Data Center products starting February 17, 2026 (PT).

For many organizations, this update marks an important decision point. Now is the right time to prepare a move to the Cloud, and Valiantys is here to support you every step of the way.

If you run Jira, Confluence, or Jira Service Management in a Data Center environment, this update is worth a closer look.

If a Cloud move isn’t possible right now, or you’re approaching a renewal, we can also help you plan ahead and secure the best possible pricing for your next renewal.

What’s actually changing?

Beginning February 17, 2026, Atlassian will increase prices for the following Data Center products:

If you’re still on legacy Advantage pricing for Jira Software Data Center, the increase will be higher, approximately 18–40%, depending on your user tier, as those prices are brought in line with standard list pricing.

If you’re unsure which pricing model you’re on today, that’s something Valiantys can help you confirm quickly.

When does this take effect?

• Mid-January 2026 – Atlassian will begin notifying impacted customers by email
• February 17, 2026 – New pricing officially goes into effect

Note: Any renewals, upgrades, or new purchases completed after Feb 17, 2026 will reflect the updated prices.

Why is Atlassian making this change?

According to Atlassian, these pricing updates support continued investment in the Data Center platform, particularly in areas that matter most to enterprise organizations, including:

• Stronger security and access controls
• Better performance and scalability
• Ongoing reliability for complex, business-critical environments
  
  

What does this mean for your organization?

Every organization will experience these changes differently, depending on its Data Center setup and pricing model.

For many customers, this update marks a natural decision point. Now is the right time to prepare a move to Atlassian Cloud, where the platform continues to evolve rapidly. Starting the conversation early can help you assess readiness, timing, and long-term value.

If your organization needs to remain on Data Center for now, there are a few consistent impacts to keep in mind:

• Your next renewal may cost more than in previous years
• Customers on Advantage pricing should expect the largest increases
• Timing matters- planning ahead can help you avoid last-minute surprises

This is also a good moment to step back and confirm whether your current Data Center setup still aligns with your long-term goals, growth plans, and budget expectations.

How can you prepare?

You don’t need to overcomplicate this. A few simple steps can go a long way:

• Review your upcoming renewal or upgrade timelines
• Confirm which pricing model you’re currently using
• Consider expected user growth over the next year
• Revisit your broader Atlassian strategy and roadmap

Having these conversations early gives you more flexibility and better options.
