    Linear is particularly well suited for teams that need a fast, intuitive way to organize and prioritize work across multiple projects. In my experience, it's been especially useful for tracking client work by priority, assignee, and project, while providing clear visibility into ownership and progress. Its clean interface makes it easy.

    Unfortunately, Trustpilot's disingenuous pricing habits and communication methods are the reason we ultimately ended our 3 year relationship with the company. In 2023, we signed a 1 year agreement for their basic plan (product reviews, Q&A, etc) at $3,800/year... Fair enough. In 2024, the price jumps to $5,040/year... Okay, steep - but we're still seeing good use of the tools, sort of justified? For 2025 it skyrockets to $8,976/year (+78% from prior)... But, after a month of haggling and threats to cancel, they 'graciously' drop it to $7,569/year. Now for 2026, Trustpilot is demanding $9,576/year for the EXACT SAME PLAN. That's a 152% increase since we started, with zero added value.

    Cons
    Linear
    • Linear is missing documentation features like Jira Confluence. We can use Notion but it would have been great if Linear offered more comprehensive solution
    • Eventhough we can manage releases with projects, it is hard to manage them when there are multiple projects being released at the same time. The initiatives feature kind of handles this but if we can assign tasks to a release that would be awesome
    • Being able to invite guests without costing extra money. Platforms like Clickup allow you to invite a limited no of guests without costing extra money.
    • Linear is not good if you are software services company and want to manage multiple client projects. Linear is built for product teams.

    Usability
    Linear
    I already spoke to this in a previous question but, if you've ever used Jira, Linear should feel quite natural. It is a project management tool rooted in issues/tickets to which you can also add sub-tasks and various details. There is some customization but Linear has attempted to shape its offering as the most essential features necessary for this type of work.

    Simple user interface - easy to understand with high level overviews, but also getting into the detail with questions for those who want it. The only issue I have is the connection with LinkedIn - sometimes it fails and makes you re-enter details again which can be a bit frustrating!

    I've rarely had issues and needed support. During the implementation phase we relied on their support heavily and they were very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. Any questions I've had have been answered promptly by my account manager. They also have a great knowledgebase for self-service support.

    When we are using jira it felt light the application itself is very heavy usage and the UI feel like boring and features were not good as compared to Linear. As QA when shifted to Linear i felt huge difference in process of ticket creation and tracking compared to jira and sometimes Jira would get stuck, but Linear didn't.

    Selected Trustpilot because of superior integration with the website and Google SERPS. Again, my only complaint would be Trustpilot was relatively more expensive than the other technologies.
