It has been an incredible journey for us during these 30 months when a small internal tool has become an independent Jira application. Today, on Dec 11, 2022, Magic Estimations for Jira ends its free path and switches to the paid model, while keeping the free access for the next ~3 months.

UPDATE Mar 19, 2023: old clients can use the app for free until Apr 16, 2023 + free Magic Estimations Lite app is planned for release in April 2023
UPDATE Apr 16, 2023 : https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1230637/magic-estimations-lite-free-async-and-planning-poker-sizing?tab=overview&hosting=cloud has been released; older versions of Magic Estimations have been deactivated.

 

Free → Paid

First of all, we need to explain why we have to enable monetization:

  1. Our infrastructure bills are steadily increasing with product growth. Currently, we see more than 10k monthly active users with more than 100 active instances daily, and this is when it becomes hard to finance the project from our own pockets.

  2. We’re getting more feedback and requests with potential improvements (thank you for that!). We hope that the monetization will allow us to focus on swiftly delivering shiny new features to Magic Estimations instead of spending after-work hours.

Still, we’ll try to keep the Free version of the app available to as many users as possible with a lower-than-market price for everyone else.

 

Secondly, let’s talk about available free plans. Here are the ways you can use the app for free:

  1. All the Jira Cloud instances with 10 or fewer users can use the full version of the app for free.

  2. Older versions of Magic Estimations can be used for free until Apr 16, 2023

  3. A free Magic Estimations Lite version is planned to be released in April 2023 to support small teams in big organizations. You can find more details below.

Magic Estimations Lite

Magic Estimations Lite and Freemium statement
Magic Estimations team has been planning to allow our clients to use a limited version of the app in case the license is absent. Unfortunately, during the app submission process, Atlassian representatives highlighted that any operation inside an unlicensed app is forbidden.

However, following our vision, we plan to introduce a separate free marketplace app “Magic Estimations Lite” with the following limitations:

  • number of active sessions = 1;

  • number of active users = 5;

  • number of issues in the active session <31.

The release is planned for April 2023. Check this page or Atlassian marketplace for details and updates.
UPDATE Apr 16, 2023 : https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1230637/magic-estimations-lite-free-async-and-planning-poker-sizing?tab=overview&hosting=cloud has been released.

Our goal is to make the app accessible to many users. This is why Magic Estimations is cheaper than competitors while providing a wider range of features.
