Why teams make the switch
Checklist for Jira is the newer app, and it does more of the daily work. Protected templates keep a standard in place. A workflow check can hold a transition until the list is done. An audit log shows who changed a list. A Rovo agent can apply your team’s template from the issue.
The price is simple, and it is lower. At 200 licensed users the public monthly price is $50. Smart Checklists is $160. Checked October 25, 2026. The comparison has every tier.
How to start
Run the import from the Import from Smart Checklists for Jira. Your checklists come with you. History and Smart Checklist settings stay behind. The docs name anything else the import skips. Then install Checklist for Jira. For a team that wants the lists, the lower price, and the newer app, this is the straightforward move.
Put this on the work item with Checklist for Jira
Templates, automation, workflow gates, and a Rovo agent — free for teams of up to 10 users.
