What is the difference between MS 365 for Jira plan vs. the Jira Software plan?

[SMR-PC]

Hello! Super novice here-- I apologize for the seemingly straightforward question. What is the difference between Microsoft 365 for Jira - Outlook Email, Teams, Calendar Cloud and Jira Software? The former is significantly cheaper than the latter, despite it having several features across software applications. Further, is the pricing made per user in the team monthly? Thank you for any help that can be shared! I appreciate it.

Hi @SMR-PC welcome to the Atlassian community.

Please be informed that Microsoft 365 for Jira is a plugin that supports the Office applications sync with Jira software. While, Jira software plan is a flagship ecosystem on its own.

Hi,

I am planning to use MS365 at my work and using JIRA effectively. Being adapting to MS365, How much of work that I can simplify inside JIRA from MS365 vs using all the ticketing mechanism in MS365 itself?
