| Monthly Pricing (per user) | $27 (monthly) | Professional Cloud: $38/month; Enterprise Cloud: $74/month | Standard Cloud: Starts at $10/month (for up to 10 Jira users), scales up based on Jira users. Enterprise Cloud: Starts at $15/month (for up to 10 Jira users), scales up based on Jira users. |

| Key Differentiator | Simple, all-inclusive pricing, unlimited projects & tests, 24/7 support. | Enterprise-level options. | Native Jira integration. |
| Considerations | Straightforward pricing without hidden fees. | 1. More complex initial setup for some users. 2. Pricing can be higher for larger enterprise needs. 3. Server option available for on-premise deployment. |
1. Pricing tied to Jira user count, meaning you pay for all Jira users, not just Xray users. 2. Each Xray entity creates a Jira issue, which can lead to a large number of issues. 3. Performance can be impacted as it uses Jira storage. |
Important Notes:
- Tiered Pricing for Xray: Xray’s pricing for Jira is often tiered, meaning the per-user cost decreases as the number of users increases. However, you pay for the number of Jira users you have, regardless of how many actively use Xray.
- Enterprise Plans: For all three, enterprise plans often involve contacting sales for custom quotes, especially for larger teams or specific requirements. These plans typically offer advanced features, dedicated support, and higher service level agreements (SLAs).
- Additional Costs: Be aware that some tools might have additional costs for add-ons, premium support, or specific integrations beyond the base pricing.
- On-Premise vs. Cloud: TestRail offers both Cloud and Server (on-premise) options, with different pricing structures. Testuff is primarily cloud-based. Xray is a Jira app, so its deployment aligns with your Jira deployment (Cloud or Data Center).
