Allure TestOps vs Xray

From $39 per user/month (volume pricing for larger teams)

From $10 per month flat for up to 10 users ($100/year)

Self-hosted and cloud options; the underlying Allure Report remains free open source.

Priced through the Atlassian Marketplace by Jira user tier. Above the 10-user flat tier it works out around $6.07/user/month (e.g. $7,280/year for 100 users) and falls to roughly $3/user/month by 500 users. It bills for every Jira user, not just testers.

Free tier for small teams; Allure Report itself is open source.

30-day trial via Atlassian Marketplace.

• Best-in-class handling of automated results — live ingestion, history, flakiness tracking.
• Builds on Allure Report, which many teams already generate.
• Self-hosting available for regulated environments.

• Complete requirement-to-test-to-defect traceability without leaving Jira.
• No second tool for the team to learn or license separately.
• Strong BDD support with Gherkin scenarios stored as Jira issues.

• Manual testing features are weaker than in manual-first tools.
• Requires an existing automation culture to deliver value.
• Smaller vendor and community.

• Inherits Jira's performance characteristics; large test executions are slow.
• Billing per Jira user means non-QA staff inflate the cost.
• Test case authoring in Jira issue screens is clumsy compared to purpose-built editors.

Automation-heavy teams that want test management shaped around CI rather than manual cases.

Organisations standardised on Jira that want a single system of record.
