Surprised by a Broadcom AutoSys Renewal?
AutoSys customers tell us the same story since Broadcom took over: the renewal jumped, job definitions are still JIL scripts with no visual designer, and AutoSys competes for roadmap attention with seven other Broadcom schedulers. Compare that to JAMS Scheduler. Pricing is on this page and JAMS ships new capability every quarter.
Do not take our word for it. Read the reviews. Our CEO reads and responds to every one.
“The Price Is on This Page.”
We are proud to be the value leading job scheduling and orchestration tool on the market and we don’t shy away from it. Our starting price is on our homepage for a reason! You can purchase on fixed (agent) or usage (per job) based pricing. You pick what’s best for you.

Built for Visual Workflows, Not JIL Scripts, Out of the Box
AutoSys job definitions live in JIL, a text-based scripting language, with no native graphical workflow designer, which reviewers say makes it hard to visualize or debug complex job chains. AutoSys is also one of eight overlapping Broadcom workload automation products competing for the same roadmap attention. JAMS gives every job and dependency chain a visual, drag-and-drop workflow view from day one, on a single, focused roadmap.
Visual workflow designer for every job chain, no JIL required
JAX, our AI agent, builds and repairs jobs in plain language
One roadmap, one console -- not one of eight overlapping Broadcom schedulers
Ask When Your Scheduler Last Shipped Something You Noticed
JAMS 7.9 shipped a new web client, a full REST API, an MCP server, and JAX, our AI agent that builds (coming soon!), runs, and repairs jobs on command. Connect your own AI tools to JAMS through MCP and pull the reports and dashboards you always wanted. The roadmap moves fast, and customers steer it — three virtual customer summits a year with direct input on what ships next.

“Migration Is Our Job, Not Yours.”
1 · Extract
Send us an extract of your AutoSys job definitions. You get a conversion assessment back within 5 business days.
2 · Plan
You get a tailored migration plan with named owners and dates.
3 · Convert
Our converter translates AutoSys job definitions automatically and carries roughly 75 percent of the heavy lifting.
4 · Finalize migration
Your team validates converted jobs and approves the plan. Nothing cuts over until your sign-off.
5 · Cut over
JAMS runs alongside AutoSys until your team trusts what it sees. Then you cut over.
Is it risky?
Our team and our premium partners do these migrations for a living. The converter carries most of the load up front, nothing cuts over before your team trusts what it sees, and you can test it on your own export today.
Will it distract my team?
Switching schedulers off AutoSys was likely not on your strategic priorities list this year. Many people read this page because a renewal number SHOCKED them, not because they went looking for this project. We take on as much of the lift as we can, and we carry the heavy end.
What does it really cost?
Migration services are fixed bid, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Some environments qualify for a free migration. Ask us if yours does.
See it before you talk to anyone.
Free converters for Windows Task Scheduler, SQL Agent, Cron, and Airflow. Send us an AutoSys extract and get a converted sample back in less than a week.
How to Buy JAMS
Most teams know exactly where this ends: a signed contract and a migrated environment. Here is the path to get there, start to finish.
Twenty-two days from first call to signed contract. Most of it is you deciding, not you waiting on us.
