Linear

What it is for

Linear is a hosted issue-review desk: you open a review, and Free is $0. Use it when the job is PRs you review beside issues at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Linear review (Update project update placeholder copy, linear-app#85292, Ryan Delaney, Codex reviewer, 2 files changed) from the changelog still — not a pricing card. The panes themselves are ops of Reviews. Linear bills $0 or $10 / $16 per user / month, not a chat seat.

Key features

• Reviews — a Git review with diffs and reviewers (cover still; docs). One review. Cover linear-app#85292 and Codex sit here.
• Issues — a work item you track (docs). An issue, not a review. Status sits here.
• Projects — a group of issues you plan (docs). A project, not an issue. Milestones sit here.
• Triage — an inbound queue you accept or reject (docs). Triage, not a project. Intake sits here.
• Initiatives — a multi-project bet you roll up (docs). An initiative, not triage. Strategy sits here.

Loops / GitHub triggers on the official video are automations (not a sixth desk). Free / Basic / Business tiles are the meter. Agent platform on Free is a composer, not a desk we fold into Reviews.

Who it's for

Best fit: product / eng teams who will stay on Free at $0 (unlimited members, 2 teams, 250 issues) while they open a first review, then buy Basic at $10 / user / month or Business at $16 / user / month.

Limitations / costs

• Free caps at 250 issues and 2 teams. Crossing that is the $10 Basic seat.
• $10 / $16 are per user / month. Ten people on Basic are $100 / month.
• An issue-review desk, not a stacked-PR client. For Graphite see Graphite. For Plane see Plane.

Alternatives

• Graphite — stacked PRs when you want Graphite’s review desk, not Linear’s $0 / $10 review + issues.
• Plane — open-source issue tracking when you want Plane’s self-host, not Linear’s $16 Business seat.
• Jam — a bug report with a click timeline when you want Jam’s replay, not Linear’s Codex review.
