How does Linear pricing work?
The seat is the value metric. Basic is '$10 per user/month' and Business '$16 per user/month', each with a 'Billed yearly' switch under the price. Free is '$0 Free for everyone' with 'Unlimited members', '2 teams' and '250 issues', plus 'Agent platform', 'Linear Agent' and 'Loops', so the free plan limits how much work a team runs through Linear, not who can join, and it opens the agent layer from day one. Packaging steps up in scope and then in intelligence: Basic adds '5 teams', 'Unlimited issues', 'Unlimited file uploads' and 'Admin roles', while Business adds 'Unlimited teams', 'Private teams and guests' and the intelligence features, 'Triage Intelligence', 'Code Intelligence', 'Linear Insights' and 'Linear Asks'. Enterprise is 'Custom' and adds 'Invoice/PO billing', 'SAML and SCIM' and 'Migration & onboarding support'.
The motion runs self-serve through Business and sales-led at the top. Free and Basic carry one 'Get started' button each, Business pairs a white 'Get started' with 'Contact sales', and Enterprise routes to 'Contact sales' on 'Annual billing only', which leaves the sales team room to shape term and seat volume. The page itself is restrained: a one-word 'Pricing' headline, four dark cards, 'Trusted by more than 50,000 companies' with OpenAI, Vercel, Salesforce, Figma, Cursor, Coinbase and Ramp, then a comparison table grouped into Core, AI and agent workflows, Integrations, Team management, Analytics & Reporting, Linear Asks, Security and Support. It closes on 'Built for the future. Available today.' The shape signals a company that sells craft and lets the product carry the pitch.
Under the hood the model is a seat plus a meter. 'Coding sessions**' and 'Loops**' are marked 'Included' on every plan and resolve to '** Requires AI credits' with a 'View docs' link, which points to a credit balance that agent work draws down on top of the per-seat plans. Placing Loops on Free puts the meter in front of every team at $0: access to agents is packaged as a feature, and the work agents do is priced as usage. That blend is where work-management pricing is heading, with seats pricing access for people and credits pricing work done by agents. 'Salesforce integration' carries an 'Add-on' label and is marked 'Included' on Enterprise, so a heavier integration is priced on its own at the top of the ladder. The scope caps on Free are a land-and-expand design: a whole team joins at no cost, and the upgrade arrives with a third team or the 251st issue. Worth borrowing are the in-card billing switch and a table that prints limits as values, 'File upload 10MB', '15 pipelines' for Releases and sub-teams at '1 level' against '5 levels'.
What does Linear's pricing page do well?
- The 'Billed yearly' switch sits inside each paid card directly under the price, so the number changes where the buyer is already looking
- Free caps scope with '2 teams' and '250 issues' and keeps 'Unlimited members', letting a whole team adopt Linear before anyone pays
- Free lists 'Agent platform', 'Linear Agent' and 'Loops', so a team can try agent workflows on the $0 plan
- Business pairs a white 'Get started' with 'Contact sales', giving the mid tier a self-serve and an assisted path in one card
- The comparison table marks every cell 'Included' or 'Not included' and prints limits as values: 'File upload 10MB', '250 issues', '15 pipelines', '1 level' and '5 levels'
What does Linear's pricing page reveal about its pricing strategy?
- Seats price access for people and AI credits price work done by agents, a two-part model where 'Coding sessions**' and 'Loops**' draw on credits on every plan
- Putting Loops on the Free card makes the credit meter part of the $0 experience, so agent usage can grow inside a team before a seat upgrade
- Business gates the intelligence features, 'Triage Intelligence', 'Code Intelligence', 'Linear Insights' and 'Linear Asks', which places AI analysis value at the $16 tier
- Annual billing is the default state of every paid card, and Enterprise is 'Annual billing only', so the yearly term anchors the whole ladder
- Enterprise support rows list 'Custom terms' and 'Uptime SLA', the commercial levers the sales conversation works with
