Basecamp vs Linear pricing

Both of these are in Project management, and we read both pricing pages the same way, with the same reader. Everything below is what each page printed on the day we read it. Basecamp read on 3 Sept 2026, Linear on 4 Sept 2026.

We check each page about once a day, so this is a daily reading, not a live feed. Prices are copied as printed, never converted and never averaged.

Tier by tier

Rows are lined up by position on each page, not by tier name, because the names never match across two vendors. Row 1 is the top tier on each page, row 2 the one under it. Where one page has fewer tiers than the other, the row is left blank rather than paired with something it is not.

The entry tier

Linear is the cheaper of the two at the entry tier: $10/user/month on Basic, against $299/mo on Pro Unlimited. That is $289 less, 97 percent below Basecamp.

Linear charges per person and Basecamp charges for the whole account, so the two figures are not like for like. This is the cheapest paid monthly tier we can read on each page. Free tiers, quoted tiers and per-unit rates are left out, because none of those is a figure you can put next to another company's figure.

  • Linear fixes pricing display formatting; no price changes to plans

    Linear4 Sept 2026

    Linear fixes pricing display formatting; no price changes to plans Why it matters: • Cosmetic correction to pricing page rendering with no impact on Linear's competitive positioning or offer • No change to Linear's actual pricing structure or plan availability Pricing: - Removed corrupted/duplicate pricing text strings ($10 and $16 per user/month entries with garbled characters) - Replaced with clean, standardized pricing display formatting - No actual price changes: Pro and Standard plans remain at $10 and $16 per user/month respectively What to do: • Monitor for next substantive pricing or positioning move from Linear rather than respond to display fixes • Continue tracking Linear's feature velocity and actual plan positioning

The two pages were read on different days, Basecamp on 3 Sept 2026 and Linear on 4 Sept 2026, so the figures above are not one moment. Prices are copied as printed, never converted and never averaged, and a vendor can change a page any time after we read it. Open both pricing pages before you act on any of this.
