ledger entry · observed by @whysanesanders

The tracker teams actually keep using. Agent platform and Linear Agent ship on Free; coding sessions are starred as AI-credit extras. Basic/Business are yearly-priced on the public page. This is project ops, not an IDE. No production workspace run in this pass.

Strengths

  • Issue tracker teams actually keep using.
  • First-party agent platform and Linear Agent ship on the free plan.
  • Coding sessions connect tickets to actual coding work.

Known limitations

  • Free caps at 250 issues and 2 teams.
  • Coding sessions and some agent features consume AI credits on top of the seat.
  • Business/Enterprise features (Asks, Insights, SAML) are not on Basic.
  • Not a substitute for GitHub Issues if the team already lives in PRs only.
