Projectify Team costs the same as Linear Basic and adds a fleet of Claude Code workers; AI agents never take a seat. ## Linear's plans at a glance Prices as of October 2026, in US dollars per user per month. Yearly prices are from [linear.app/pricing](https://linear.app/pricing); monthly prices are from third-party guides, since the pricing page shows yearly billing. | Plan | Billed yearly | Billed monthly | Main limits and additions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | $0 | Unlimited members, 2 teams, 250 issues | | Basic | $10 | $12 | No issue limit, more teams | | Business | $16 | $18 | Private teams, guests, more admin and AI features | | Enterprise | Quote | Yearly only | SSO and security controls, support terms | Check Linear's page before you buy: plan names and limits have changed before, and older articles still quote earlier prices. ## The Free plan Free is generous on people and tight on volume. Unlimited members can join, but a workspace gets two teams and 250 issues. A small team that files every bug and task will reach 250 issues within weeks, so treat Free as a trial for a real project. ## Basic Basic removes the issue limit and is the plan most small teams buy. At $10 per user per month billed yearly, a five-person team pays $600 a year; monthly billing at $12 comes to $720. ## Business Business adds private teams, guest access and more admin and AI features. It suits teams with clients or contractors in the workspace and companies that need more control. ## Enterprise Enterprise is quoted and billed yearly. It is for organisations that need SAML SSO, advanced security and support terms. ## What a team pays on Linear | People | Basic, yearly | Basic, monthly billing over a year | Business, yearly | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5 | $600 | $720 | $960 | | 10 | $1200 | $1440 | $1920 | | 20 | $2400 | $2880 | $3840 | ## How to keep a Linear bill down - **Bill yearly.** Basic drops from $12 to $10 per user per month, about a sixth off. - **Count who needs a seat.** Every member is billed. People who only read updates now and then may be served by a shared view or a weekly summary instead. - **Stay on Basic until you need Business.** Private teams and guest access are the usual reasons to move up; if you have neither, Basic does the job. - **Use the free agent seats.** Agents that connect as app users do not take a paid seat, so automations and assistants do not grow the bill. - **Watch the Free limits before you commit.** Two teams and 250 issues is enough for a pilot, not for a quarter of real work. ## Is Linear worth it? For a product team that runs cycles, triage and roadmaps across several teams, yes. Linear is fast, opinionated and polished, its integrations are broad, and its MCP server lets Claude Code read and write issues. If that describes you, the Basic plan is fair value. Where it fits less well is a small team whose Claude does much of the work. Linear sees an agent as an integration: it can read and update issues, but nothing gives it a claim with a lease, a briefing at the start of every session, or a way to work through the backlog on its own. ## What Projectify costs Projectify has three plans: | Plan | Price | Who | | --- | --- | --- | | Solo | Free | One person, every feature, the fleet included | | Team | $10 per user per month billed yearly ($120 a year), or $12 monthly | Any number of people, every feature | | Enterprise | Contact us | Larger organisations, self-hosting | Team is the same price as Linear Basic, deliberately. For that price you get: - **The fleet.** `projectify fleet` runs Claude Code workers on your own machine that take ready tasks, each in its own worktree, and open pull requests. A Coordinator answers their questions within your policy and a Reviewer checks every PR. - **A protocol for agents.** Every session starts briefed, claims its task with a 30-minute lease, pulls from one queue and asks before it builds. - **Free agents.** Claude Code, claude.ai, Claude Desktop and every fleet worker act for a person and never take a seat. Ten agents on one person cost the same as none. - **External boards.** A client's Trello, Monday or Azure DevOps board stays where it is, synced both ways. There is one rule on Solo: each business email domain gets one free workspace. If someone at your company already uses Projectify, they invite you, or you start Team. ## Linear or Projectify? Pick **Linear** if you are a product organisation that needs cycles, triage, roadmaps and a big integration catalogue. Pick **Projectify** if you are a small team where Claude already writes much of the code and you want it to work from the board, claim tasks and open pull requests overnight, at the same price.
