I've looked, and looked, and asked people, and looked some more and I can only find five (5) published jiu jitsu magazines. At some point I'll give you my detailed thoughts on each of them (I subscribe to all 5), but for now, I am just intending to make a list, provide some real basics and make it easy for you to find them (and purchase them) online if you wish.
And please note, prices and options change. And I'm not able to keep up with all of the subscription options to each of these magazines. So what I've quoted below are those prices that I've either paid or noticed have changed if I visited their website and so became inclined to update this post. As such, please don't hold me to the prices that I've quoted herein. It's just a guide.
GracieMag
Website: http://www.graciemag.com/
They usually have a deal where when you subscribe for two (2) years (20-issues) you get a free kimono or other item(s). For a while it was a Storm kimono. When I got it they had changed to Vulkan, and after that it was a choice of Hayabusa or Koral.
So for $160 you could get 20 issues of GracieMag AND a kimono. Not bad if you ask me.
Now, they change this deal from time to time, so I have no idea what it is right now, or what it'll be next week. So please check it out for yourself.

JITS.
Website: http://jitsmagazine.com/
The first thing that I noticed about JITS. is that it is a physically smaller magazine. Not that that matters, but it is 2/3rds the size of a traditional magazine.
JITS. is printed quartly, so for a one year subscription you get four (4) issues. That is $36. However, you also get access to ALL of the past issues (and current ones of course) digitally. A nice bonus.

Jiu-Jitsu Magazine
Website: http://jiujitsumag.com/
This publication offers either digital only or both print and digital subscriptions. And you can pick a 6 month, 1-year or 2-year subscription. So there are a few choices to consider.
With a 2 year subscription you get a free tee shirt.
You can also order single back issues for $8 each.
The rates change from time to time and there are NUMEROUS options available. To check out what those options are and to subscribe:

(Note, this is my 2nd favorite of the group).
Jiu Jitsu Style
Website: http://bjjstyle.com/
Printed in the U.K., they have a variety of subscription options. The price depends upon where you are located in proximity to the U.K. As you would expect, the cost of postage is a factor.
For "the rest of the world" the cost is £39.00 for an annual subscription that includes 6 issues published bimonthly and includes postage and packing. For an additional £9.00 you can choose from any of three different shirts.
To subscribe: http://shop.bjjstyle.com/ and look for the drop-down menu under "Subscriptions" where you can select either: UK, Europe, Rest of the World, or Digital.
(Note, his is my favorite jiu jitsu magazine. It's really well put together).
Jiu Jitsu NERD
This is a new player in the Jiu Jitsu publication marketplace. But be aware, it is only in Japanese.Website: http://jiujitsunerd.wordpress.com/
Apparently this was an on-line only magazine since early 2012, but has added a print option as of sometime in 2013. Individual issues (except the 1st one which is sold out) are available on BudoVideos for $5 to $6 per issue. They are currently on issue #4 as of this writing (Nov. 2014).
To purchase one or more of the back issues: http://www.budovideos.com/search?q=jiu+jitsu+nerd+magazine&search-button=
That is it. That is all I could find. If you know of others, comment below and I will add them. Thanks.
