Trusted by Netflix, Snowflake, Roku & 600+ engineering teams
The Rovo alternative for engineering coordination in Slack
Rovo is bundled into every paid Jira plan and metered by credits. It searches Atlassian, catches you up on a thread, and drafts a ticket from a conversation. Troopr does the work that comes after: threads sync to Jira both ways, the standup writes itself, and nothing changes in Jira until the person who owns it taps Confirm.
Free for 10 seats. Flat per-seat pricing, no credit meter.
Trusted by 600+ engineering teams worldwide
Rovo and Troopr solve different problems, and plenty of teams run both. Rovo is Atlassian's AI layer across the whole suite, genuinely good at finding, summarizing and drafting. Troopr is built for one job: the Slack-and-Jira coordination workflow, running the issue lifecycle both ways in the channel, with a confirmation step before anything is written. Every feature, on every plan, including Free.
Two-way thread sync, comments in both directions
Confirm before write: the owner taps Confirm, the change runs as them
Scheduled Jira reports, nudges, and a standup that writes itself
Flat per seat, no pooled credits and no overage date to plan around
Why teams choose Troopr for coordination
A broad assistant, or a coordination layer
Rovo covers the whole Atlassian estate. Troopr covers one squad's work, all the way through.
The ceremonies, in the same app
The standup that writes itself
Troopr drafts each person's update from their own Jira and GitHub activity and posts it to the channel. It asks someone directly only when it genuinely can't tell what they're working on. Retros, planning poker and team mood run in the same app, on the same bill.
Two-way sync, not just search
Rovo can find a Slack thread and tell you what's in it. Troopr makes the thread a working surface: replies become Jira comments, Jira comments come back, and files move both ways. Friday's debugging session ends up on the ticket instead of scrolling out of reach.
Reports and nudges, built in
Burndown, velocity and any JQL you like, posted to the channel on a schedule with the action buttons attached. Stale and overdue issues get a nudge aimed at the one person who can move them. The board gets worked on a cadence, not just queried when someone remembers.schedules Jira reports, burndown, velocity, and JQL, and nudges on stale or overdue issues with one-click actions, so the board gets worked on a cadence, not just queried.
Confirmed writes, not guesses
Every Jira change Troopr proposes goes to whoever owns the work, gets revalidated against live Jira the moment they confirm, and runs under their own login. If it stopped being true while it sat there, it says so instead of writing. That is what keeps a board worth trusting.

Rovo capabilities verified against Atlassian's own Rovo documentation, the Jira for Slack announcement of 24 June 2026 and the Atlassian Rovo Slack Marketplace listing, 11 September 2026. "Not documented" means Atlassian's documentation does not describe the capability; it is not a claim the behaviour is impossible, and we will change any row Atlassian documents. Scoped to the Slack-and-Jira coordination workflow, so Rovo's broader search, chat and agent capabilities across the Atlassian suite fall outside this comparison. Troopr capabilities per Troopr product documentation.
On AI
Assist and draft, or run the work
Both bring a model to Slack and Jira. The question is what comes back: a suggestion you act on, or a change the board already reflects.
ROVO
Assists and drafts
This is where Rovo is strong. It surfaces the context you would have gone hunting for, summarizes the thread you missed, and composes a ticket from a conversation with the fields close to right. Since 24 June 2026 @Jira reads the thread, the conversation and the channel history to fill them in, and can hand the work to a coding agent. If what you need is an answer or a draft, it is already in the plan you pay for.
Troopr AI
Runs the work, with confirmation
Troopr forms its own view from each person's Jira, GitHub and Slack activity, writes the standup from it, and proposes the Jira changes that view implies. Each proposal is typed, routed to the owner, revalidated against live Jira at the moment they confirm, and written under their own login. Nothing a model decides reaches the board on its own.
Proof
What it looks like at scale
86%
of weekly status-meeting time eliminated
Snowflake's engineering teams run async Check-ins in Slack with Jira context compiled into the report, instead of context-switching to a status call.

less time finding and updating Jira issues
Netflix runs distributed engineering on hosted Jira. Their internal security team cleared Troopr before rollout, which is usually the longest part of any adoption.

Security & privacy
Built to clear your security review
The privacy posture is a precondition of the product, not a later add-on. It's what makes an AI-native model safe to put in front of your team and your auditors.
- No training on customer data. Your work never trains a model.
- No storage of raw messages. Troopr derives and persists a structured set of facts about how your team works, not the raw firehose.
- Clear scope. Team channels, connected work tools, and a person's own shared activity. Troopr does not read other people's private DMs.
- OAuth and Jira permissions. Troopr authenticates via OAuth and never bypasses your Jira project, issue, or field permissions.
Looking for employee or customer support automation? That's a different job, and a different product.

Troopr vs Rovo, answered
Can we run Troopr and Rovo together?
They solve different problems, so most teams treat them as complementary. Rovo is a broad AI assistant for search, summaries, and drafting across Atlassian. Troopr is the coordination layer for Slack and Jira: two-way sync, confirmed Jira updates, reports, nudges, and a self-writing standup.
Is Troopr a replacement for Atlassian Rovo?
Not a replacement, a different job. Rovo is Atlassian's AI layer across Jira, Confluence and Jira Service Management: it searches, catches you up on threads, and drafts work items. Troopr is the coordination layer for Slack and Jira: two-way thread and channel sync, confirmed Jira writes, scheduled reports, nudges, and a standup that writes itself from real activity. If the thing your team loses time to is finding information, Rovo already covers it. If it is the board never being true, that is the strip Troopr owns.
Is Rovo included in our Atlassian plan, and how many credits do we get?
It is included. Since 2026 Rovo credits come with every paid Jira, Confluence, Service Collection and Teamwork Collection cloud subscription rather than being sold as an add-on. The Jira and Confluence allowance is 25 credits per user per month on Standard, 70 on Premium and 150 on Enterprise, pooled across the organisation, reset each billing cycle, with no rollover. Search, definitions and summaries cost nothing. Chat, space creation and basic agents run about 10 credits per event and Deep Research is reported at 100, so a Standard seat contributes roughly two and a half requests a month to the shared pool. Extra usage is billed from 3 December 2026 at $0.01 per credit against an admin-set spending cap. Enabling Rovo also needs a verified business email domain.
What is the core difference for engineering coordination?
Rovo answers the question you asked. Troopr keeps the board true whether or not anyone asks. Rovo got materially better in Slack during 2026: Atlassian shipped a dedicated Rovo Slack app with DMs, channel mentions, thread summarisation and agents that answer on a keyword or emoji, and on 24 June 2026 @Jira gained natural-language creation that reads the thread, conversation and channel history, plus assignment to coding agents. What Atlassian's documentation still does not describe, as of 11 September 2026, is Jira comments coming back into the Slack thread, attachments moving both directions, a channel paired with a project, or people without a Jira licence taking part. Troopr does all four, and adds the standup, the ceremonies and the scheduled routines.
