Pennys bedömning

Linear is the 'Formula 1 car' of issue trackers. It is built for speed, and its AI implementation reflects that. Unlike other tools that just slap a chatbot on the side, Linear uses AI to remove the friction of 'ticket hygiene'—the annoying stuff like writing titles or finding duplicates. It’s opinionated, meaning it forces you to work in a specific way, but if you’re building software, that way is usually the right way. Don’t buy this for your marketing agency or your retail shop; you’ll hate the lack of flexibility. But if you have developers who complain that Jira is where 'productivity goes to die,' Linear is the cure. The Plus plan is worth the extra £3-£4 per month just for the time saved on backlog grooming alone. It’s one of the few tools where the AI actually feels like it’s doing the boring part of my job for me.

Vanliga frågor

Can non-technical teams use Linear?+
They can, but I wouldn't recommend it. Linear is built around the 'Cycles' and 'Sprints' logic of software development. If your team doesn't think in terms of code commits and pull requests, you’ll find it too restrictive compared to something like Trello or Monday.com.
Does Linear work offline?+
Yes, and this is one of its best features. It’s a local-first application, meaning you can edit, create, and browse tickets on a plane or with bad Wi-Fi, and it syncs perfectly once you're back online.
Is the AI 'Linear Insights' worth the Plus plan cost?+
If you have more than 10 people, yes. The AI handles the 'invisible work'—summarising threads and identifying duplicate bugs—that usually eats up hours of a lead dev's or PM's week. For very small teams, the Standard plan is usually enough.
How does Linear’s Slack integration work with AI?+
It’s called 'Linear Asks.' When someone pings a request in Slack, you can react with an emoji or use a command, and Linear's AI will parse that messy conversation into a clean, titled, and labelled ticket in your backlog without you leaving Slack.
Can I import my data from Jira?+
Yes, Linear has a very robust importer for Jira and GitHub Issues. It maps your users, labels, and historical data quite cleanly, though you’ll want to do a 'spring clean' of your backlog before you move it over.
Does Linear have a free version?+
Yes, there is a free tier for unlimited users, but it limits your total number of active issues. It's great for testing the waters, but any growing business will hit the limit within a month.
