- Jan 2025 Rung 2 · Soft meter
- Oct 2025 → now Rung 4 · Metered overage Rovo Dev GA: $0.01/credit auto-billed overage above allotment
Moved across the continuum this window — pattern: Incumbent bolt-on.
The short version A usage meter was bolted onto a seat you already pay for — the subscription is no longer the whole bill.
The verdict
Atlassian's core Rovo sat at a soft meter in January 2025: a paid standalone add-on metered in pooled requests, with the note that usage beyond quota would incur charges — a meter that existed but did not bite. The 2025 moves were mostly commercial: in April Atlassian bundled Rovo free into Premium and Enterprise plans, retired the standalone price, and later renamed requests to a credits model. The genuine metered-overage mechanic arrived in a distinct SKU — Rovo Dev, GA October 8, 2025 at $20/seat with a credit allotment, then auto-billed overage at $0.01/credit and an admin-set cap. Core Rovo still does not bite, but the Dev SKU pushes the product line into auto-billed overage.
