Our monthly pricing is progressive, meaning that we offer volume discounts as you add more users"
Just to nitpick: It's actually regressive pricing. The larger your corporation, the less you'll pay per user.
The term "regressive" attaches negative emotional connotations. Marketing would never sign off on such language.
Maybe the per-user cost of 5,000-user contract is lower than a 25-user contract.
Atlassian pricing is the inverse of that, if the US does that, it will be like 39.6% for income up to $9000, then 35% up to $37000 etc.
So with the old model if you had 101 user, you would pay the same price as someone with 499 users. Thats unfair.
There needs to be a casual read access tier.
I experienced a case in which a customer, for which most of the projects of our company were done, was requiring us to use a particular tool with paid licenses. They provided 2 or 3 floating licenses for the entire team of 30+ people, making that tool a huge bottleneck for us. They kept arguing that licenses are like 1k EUR each, but I don't think they ever realized they were wasting more money each month by slowing our work down.
It's completely stupid that if you are one user over the limit, you have to pay for the next block of licenses. It's a huge cost increase for one more user.
Atlassian Cloud hosting is for small players.
I don't think making a comparison to the price for 11 users at $7/user is really fair.
How users are counted towards billing?
"Once users are created they are automatically counted towards billing even if they don't accept the invite or ever login. A user must be explicitly deactivated, deleted, or removed from a synced user directory (if you have Google sync) to not count towards billing. Learn how to add or remove users."
With slack, they are strongly incentivized to keep the product engaging enough to hold onto users.
If the license model decouples actual use / utility from revenue, then it has probably been designed that way and is targeted at enterprise.
Am I wrong?
> However, if you have 10 users or fewer, pricing will continue to be $10 for up to 10 users.
