    Estimate calculated from the displayed per-user price - check the official page for monthly/annual billing and any current promotions.

    Total cost = SaaS cost + (Setup time × Hourly rate) / 12 + Monthly maintenance × Hourly rate

    Concrete example: a small dev team billing $50/h that collectively loses 2h/month sorting tickets in a slower tool is losing $100/month in hidden time. Linear Basic at $8/month/user pays for itself once the speed gain clears that threshold — but the lack of monthly billing means committing for a year before even validating real usage.

    Linear's billing traps

    No monthly billing — annual commitment only

    Linear's paid plans (Basic $8/month, Business $14/month) are only available with annual billing, with no monthly option at all — unlike nearly every competitor.

    The strict 250 active-issue cap on free

    The free plan caps active issues at 250 and teams at 2. An active dev team blows past that ceiling within weeks.
