Hi Ian,
Thank you, we really appreciate you taking the time to review our App!
We're glad that you like the concept and its suitability. We're always looking to improve Approvals for Confluence and we've got several exciting features coming up that we can't wait for you to try out!
Regarding the reset, could you please open a ticket in our service desk with more details? We are keen to look into this for you.
Kind regards,
Himal


Hi Christine,
Thanks for your review!
We're at the final stages of testing the server version. It includes lots of new features which we can't wait for you to try out!
We expect this to be finished this week and released early next week.
Kind regards,
Himal

Hi S Stack,
Thanks for your review.
We're actively developing the Server version of Approvals for Confluence which includes many exciting new features and we can't wait to bring this out to you!
We are currently testing the release in preparation to launch the product very soon in the coming weeks.
Update May 2019: We've now released the Server version of Approvals for Confluence!
Kind regards,
Himal


Hi Misty,
Thanks for your review, I'm glad you like the app. I would like to provide some suggestions that could perhaps be of help relating to your review:
- The timestamp of when the approver approved can be checked by hovering over the status lozenge.
- This relates to point number 2 and the last paragraph that you wrote, the title of the macro can be used to describe what the item to approve is. Multiple macros can be added on the same page with different titles to specify different items to be approved.
- Relating to point number 3, would you be looking for, let's say, if one person approves then the rest does not need to? Or would you like more customisation that allows you to customise the condition for each specific person?
- Relating to point number 4, we completely agree that the email feature needs to have more control, customisation and transparency.
We are planning a new release and definitely would like to talk further about implementing these features as part of that. Please feel free to contact me on himal.gurung@automation-consultants.com to continue the discussion.
Thanks,
Himal

Pricing FAQ
- How does cloud app pricing work?
Cloud apps are sold as a monthly or annual subscription. You are eligible for support and automatic version updates as long as your subscription is active.
When your subscription renews each month, you are automatically billed for apps based on the number of users in your instance.
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my cloud pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. Confluence Cloud apps are priced based on the number of Confluence users on your instance. For example, if you have Confluence Cloud (25 users), you pay the 25-user price for apps.
The pricing structure for cloud apps is as follows:
- Monthly subscriptions with up to 10 Atlassian product users are billed at a flat rate price.
- Monthly subscriptions with more than 10 users are billed per user, starting at the first user.
- Monthly subscriptions with more than 100 users are billed per user. The table above provides example pricing at various user levels.
Annual subscriptions may offer a discount depending on the number of users purchased.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for cloud apps?
Academic, community and open source licenses are not available for cloud apps.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For cloud apps, you cannot extend your free evaluation period. All cloud apps are immediately subscribed by a user, and we provide a free evaluation period. This is a minimum of 30 days and ends on the second billing cycle after you first subscribe to the app.
Pricing FAQ
- How does server app pricing work?
Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. This app is sold as a perpetual license, and the purchase price includes 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your Atlassian product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. The app tier should match the licensed user tier of the Atlassian product. For example, if you have a Confluence license for 500 users, you should purchase the 500-user tier for apps. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Atlassian product license, the two licenses should match exactly.
- Can I install this app in a Data Center product?
Yes, this app has a Data Center approved version. If you're using a Data Center product, you should install the Data Center version of the app.
- What type of license do I need if I'm using this app in a Data Center product?
Because this app has a Data Center approved version, you should purchase a Data Center license for the app.
If you already own a server license for this app, you can continue using the server license in your Data Center product for a limited period of time.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for server apps?
For server apps, academic licenses are available at a 50% discount if you have an academic license for your Atlassian product.
Community and open-source licenses are available for server apps. Learn more about community and open source licenses.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian product, and you're all set.
- How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:
- Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.
