Background

We offer two ARNR apps on the marketplace. One is the free (Cloud) version, while the other is a paid version available for both Cloud and DC. The free app for Cloud hosting on the Atlassian marketplace mirrors the features of the standard edition of the paid app. In contrast, the paid app comes in Standard and Advanced editions. The Advanced edition is currently in its early stages and can be accessed on demand. To request early access to the Advanced edition, please visit our Service desk. Let's delve deeper into the apps and their respective editions.

Free Vs Paid app

Below are a few minor differences between the free app and the standard edition of the paid app that we highlight.

Rule execution limits for the free version

• UNLIMITED REMAINING - For 2 calendar months, free version offers unlimited actions to be executed.

  • For example, if you installed the app on 7th June you will have unlimited executions available until the end of July.

• 3 REMAINING - Post the unlimited rule executions period, every successfully executed action is counted as 1 and is deducted from the max allowed 5. This limit is at the instance level. Meaning, if you execute an action successfully on 2 different projects - they will count as 2. If a rule has 7 actions, then the limit will be exceeded in one single execution of the rule i.e. 5 actions will succeed and 2 will fail.

• EXHAUSTED - Once the max allowed limit of 5 is reached, this lozenge will be displayed within the top right corner of the free app. Sample below.

How are number of executions counted?

Every time any action included in a rule is executed - via automated or manual triggers is counted as an execution. Post the unlimited execution period, free version of ARNR allows 5 successful executions per month across given Jira instance. Once this limit is reached, all executions on this instance will be ‘Blocked’ from execution.

It is important to know that even if the execution limit is exhausted, users can still ‘preview’ the release notes directly from the templates & copy them. This way, the free version has more to offer than the out-of-the-box release notes available in Jira.

Standard Vs Advanced edition

The Standard version is the paid app option detailed in the previous section. It includes all the essential features. In contrast, the Advanced edition offers powerful enhancements that will significantly elevate your experience.
