Linear Pricing & Billing History
The engineering-first project tracker — fast, opinionated, increasingly loved
What Linear costs, how it compares to similar Project Management & Collaboration tools on price positioning, and every documented billing complaint that's shaped its reputation.
Current pricing
Linear is a project management tool built for software teams, known for its speed, keyboard-first UI, and opinionated approach to issue tracking and roadmaps. Pricing includes a free tier, Plus at $8/user/month, and Enterprise at custom pricing. Founded in 2019, it has grown rapidly as a Jira alternative.
Linear is one of the more universally praised project management tools in recent years — the speed and UX are genuinely excellent, and engineering teams that have used it describe it as one of the rare 'it just works' tools. The complaint record is modest and concentrated on feature gaps rather than trust issues.
