Linear Basic

15 people at $10 each, billed annually — every hire adds another.
Elean Pro
$39/mo
Flat, with 15 members included — hiring doesn't move the price until you pass 15.
What Elean does better
3.8× cheaper for 15 users
Linear Basic charges $10 per user, billed annually — $150 a month for 15 people. Elean Pro is $39 flat for up to 15.
Insights without the Business plan
Throughput, workload and project health come with every Elean plan, Free included. Linear keeps Insights on Business at $16 per user, which is $240 a month for 15 people.
More than one assignee
Linear gives every issue exactly one assignee, by design. In Elean a task can have several people on it on every plan, for work that really is shared.
