A flat-rate Linear alternative

Looking for a Linear alternative?

Linear is a benchmark for high-performance issue tracking and developer workflows, yet it remains strictly focused on internal execution. Teams looking to bridge the gap between internal project management and public customer feedback often choose Planet Roadmap to avoid paying for multiple disconnected tools and rising per-seat costs.

Pricing without the per-seat tax

Linear

Linear utilizes a traditional per-seat pricing model, starting with a limited Free tier. The Basic plan is $10 per user/month (annual billing), while the Business plan, which adds features like Issue SLAs and private teams, is $16 per user/month. Enterprise-grade security like SAML SSO and SCIM are reserved for the custom-priced Enterprise tier, so costs scale directly with every new hire in engineering, product, or support.

Planet Roadmap

Planet Roadmap offers a more predictable flat-rate model starting at $19/month for unlimited projects. Our Pro plan at $49/month includes 10 team seats and bundles advanced OKR tracking and a public voting portal—features that would require additional paid subscriptions if using Linear. Additional seats are just $4/month, ensuring your tooling costs don't double just because your team did.

Why teams switch to Planet Roadmap

1

Close the Feedback Loop — Linear is built for internal speed, but Planet Roadmap connects your execution directly to a public voting portal and roadmap so customers feel heard.

2

Predictable Scaling — Eliminate the financial penalty of hiring with a flat-rate foundation that includes 10 seats in the Pro plan and thousands of tracked voters without per-user markups.

3

Strategic Alignment — Move beyond issue tracking to a unified system where your Kanban and Gantt views are directly tied to a dedicated OKR framework for better high-level visibility.
