Linear vs Teamwork: Pricing Comparison (2026)
Linear starts at $10/mo. Teamwork starts at $13.99/mo. Linear is $3.99/mo cheaper on the entry tier than Teamwork.
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.
Work management platform built specifically for client services agencies. Positioned as the alternative to Asana and Monday for teams that bill hourly. Distinctive for built-in time tracking, billable rates, and profitability reporting on projects — features that generalist PM tools sell as add-ons. Priced $10.99-$25.99/user/mo. Owned by TA Associates (private equity) since 2019. Popular with digital marketing and creative agencies.
