It's a progressive discount.
The term "regressive" attaches negative emotional connotations. Marketing would never sign off on such language.
It's just a matter of PoV, isn't it?
Maybe the per-user cost of 5,000-user contract is lower than a 25-user contract.

No. Regressive means it reduces as the quantity increases. Regressive pricing is a good thing for products. Progressive pricing like progressive taxation would suck!
I see your point. Thanks for the clarification.
Progressive is something like income tax. If you earn more than $X, you will pay more than base rate on what's more than $X. Like US tax brackets - 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, and 39.6%.
Atlassian pricing is the inverse of that, if the US does that, it will be like 39.6% for income up to $9000, then 35% up to $37000 etc.
Our monthly pricing is progressive, meaning that we offer volume discounts as you add more users"
Just to nitpick: It's actually regressive pricing. The larger your corporation, the less you'll pay per user.
