Atlassian Rovo Dev vs Claude Code

Atlassian Rovo Dev is an AI agent for professional software engineers that supports code planning, generation, review, and bulk task automation. It creates code plans using knowledge from across the Atlassian platform and can help implement work items through refactoring, tests, and documentation. For code review, it analyzes changes, suggests improvements, and checks them against Jira acceptance criteria. Rovo Dev CLI understands repository code and acts on plans in Jira. The product describes workflows in Bitbucket Cloud and GitHub, as well as integration with VS Code; supported IDEs are VS Code and Cursor. It also lists chat assistance, codebase indexing, and terminal access. Atlassian says the agent respects existing permissions, so results can vary with the content each user can access. The Free plan costs nothing and provides 350 credits per user per month per Jira site. Standard costs $20 a month, billed per developer per month, and includes 2,000 credits per developer; extra usage costs $0.01 per credit. Changing from Free to Standard starts a 30-day trial. The standalone product is reaching end of life, with capabilities moving to eligible Jira and Teamwork Collection subscriptions; no final end-of-life date is stated. Atlassian's transition FAQ says all Rovo Dev tools, including Code Reviewer, remain active as of October 1, 2026.

Claude Code is a coding agent with chat assistance, terminal access, and codebase indexing. It supports VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Cursor, and Devin Desktop, with agent mode, desktop app control, browser control, screen understanding, and human approval controls. Listed platforms include web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and a Chrome extension; deployment is hybrid. A free Claude plan is available, but Claude Code is not part of it.

Max 5x is $100 a month and lists five times Pro's usage and higher output limits. Max 20x is $200 a month, with 20 times Pro's usage and higher output limits. The maker was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
