Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
Issue tracking and agile project management for software teams: sprints, boards, backlogs, releases and deep reporting, with heavy customisation.
Who it is for
Larger development organisations, particularly where process and traceability are requirements.
Where it is strongest
Software delivery at scale with accountability. When you need to trace a requirement through to a release across several teams, this is what it was built for.
Where it falls short
Slow and heavy, and it makes simple things take several clicks. Configuration becomes a job of its own. And small teams adopting it inherit process they do not need.
Our verdict
Recommended for large development organisations. For a small team, Linear does the same work in a fraction of the time.
