Positioning	AI-native task manager positioned as the alternative to Linear for smaller product/eng teams that want autonomous task organization. Distinctive for its "Copilot" that auto-organizes tasks into projects and assigns owners — you don't manually triage. Priced free-$12/user/mo. Popular with early-stage startups and design-heavy teams. Facing existential pressure from Linear's aggressive AI features shipping in 2025-2026.	The dominant engineering project management platform from Atlassian, publicly traded (TEAM), ~$50B market cap. Distinctive for its deep customization (workflows, custom fields, JQL query language) that scales to enterprise engineering orgs but overwhelms small teams. Priced free (up to 10 users) then $8.15/user/mo (Standard) up to $16/user/mo (Premium). Real cost bloat comes from add-ons in the Atlassian Marketplace and Data Center licenses (which just got 15-20% price hikes from Appfire).
