# Linear pricing

Engineering-first issue tracker positioned as the modern alternative to Jira for small-to-mid engineering teams. Distinctive for its opinionated speed (keyboard-first, obsessively fast) and clean design that engineers actually like. Popular with venture-backed startups and design-conscious engineering orgs. Priced $8-$16/user/mo. Series B in 2024. Not a direct Jira replacement at enterprise scale (weaker admin controls) but eating Jira's mid-market share aggressively.

## Current entry price

**$10/month** billed monthly. **$8/month** billed annually (save 20%).

| Business | $16 | $14 | per user, unlimited teams + guest access |

## Recommendation

In other words, Linear is worth it for engineering teams (5-100 developers) that want fast, opinionated issue tracking + sprint planning — the anti-Jira for teams that value speed and design polish over configurability. Free covers small teams; Basic adds more features; Business adds advanced permissions and admin. Extremely easy — setup takes an afternoon. Native integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Figma, Slack, Notion, and 100+ dev tools. Downside: less powerful for cross-functional (non-engineering) teams than Asana/ClickUp, and per-user pricing scales fast at Business tier.

## Alternative to consider

Cross-functional team wanting Kanban + docs? Pick Asana or ClickUp. Enterprise Jira replacement? Jira Cloud or GitHub Projects.
