Linear vs Notion 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. Both pages read on 11 Nov 2026.

We check each page about once a week, so this is a weekly 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

The two entry tiers carry the same figure: $10/user/mo on Linear's Basic, and $10/seat/month on Notion's Plus.

Both figures are charged per person, per month, so they are 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 pricing page layout simplified with visual formatting changes to plan pricing display.

    Linear11 Nov 2026

    Linear pricing page layout simplified with visual formatting changes to plan pricing display. Why it matters: • The core pricing ($10 and $16 per user/month) remains unchanged, indicating no revenue strategy shift. • Visual presentation of pricing was restructured but messaging and tier positioning stayed consistent. Pricing: - $10 per user/month pricing display reformatted (removed and re-added with cleaner formatting). - $16 per user/month pricing display reformatted (removed and re-added with cleaner formatting). What to do: • No competitive pricing action required; monitor for future substantive plan or price changes. • Continue with existing positioning relative to Linear until material changes emerge.

  • Notion shifts to seat-based pricing and introduces credit-based AI consumption model with Standard (1,500/mo) and Select (500/mo) credits per user.

    Notion8 Nov 2026

    Notion shifts to seat-based pricing and introduces credit-based AI consumption model with Standard (1,500/mo) and Select (500/mo) credits per user. Why it matters: • Notion fundamentally changed billing from per-member to per-seat architecture, directly impacting how enterprises budget and scale-competitors should clarify their pricing model clarity advantage. • AI features now require separate credit consumption tracked per user, creating new revenue levers and potential lock-in; competitors offering unlimited or simpler AI pricing may have messaging advantage. • Removal of 'Chat with us' and shift to explicit 'Contact sales' for Enterprise signals Notion is tightening sales motion-watch for acceleration in land-and-expand tactics. Pricing: - Free plan: $0/member → $0/seat (terminology shift to 'seat') - Plus plan: $10/member → $10/seat - Pro plan: $20/member → $20/seat - Enterprise: Added explicit 'Custom pricing' label with Contact us CTA Plans & Features: - Removed 'Unlimited charts' and 'Unlimited collaborative blocks' from feature list for Plus/Pro tiers - Added 'Collaborative blocks' to Plus tier (not unlimited) - File uploads: Plus/Pro now cap at 5GB per file (previously unlimited) - Free plan file cap remains 5MB per file AI & Credits: - Introduced dual-credit system: Standard Credits (1,500/month per seat) and Select Credits (500/month per seat) - Standard Credits: used for Notion-picked models (Notion Agent on Auto, AI Meeting Notes, Database Autofill) - Select Credits: used for user-selected models and Custom Agents owned by user - Custom Agents moved from pilot/freemium to credit-based pricing ($10 per 1,000 credits previously mentioned, now seat-allocated) - Workers (Beta) now consume credits starting October 15 - Removed 'Meeting Notes Beta' and 'Research Mode Beta' labels; both now credit-based features Features Removed: - Removed 'Chat with us' support CTA - Removed 'Unlimited charts' from plan features - Removed 'Unlimited collaborative blocks' from plan features - Removed 'Unlimited guests' feature call-out - Removed 'Unlimited published pages' call-out (now listed as 'Published pages' without limit qualifier) Developer & Advanced: - Added explicit 'Skills library' feature: reusable instructions for agents, shared with teams - Developer platform and CLI remain but less prominently featured Integrations: - Customer logos (OpenAI, Figma, Volvo, Ramp, Cursor) updated/refreshed but same count What to do: • Audit pricing positioning: If your product uses unlimited AI or simple per-feature pricing, emphasize transparency and simplicity vs. Notion's new dual-credit complexity in marketing. • Competitive battle-card update: Document Notion's seat-based model and credit consumption limits-sales teams need clear messaging on when per-seat or consumption-based pricing becomes disadvantageous vs. your model. • Monitor Enterprise motion: Notion removed self-service 'Chat' and pushed to 'Contact sales' for Enterprise-expect aggressive sales outreach; ensure your sales team is prepped with differentiation on flexibility and onboarding speed.

    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

  • Notion adds live chat support widget to pricing page

    Notion3 Sept 2026

    Notion adds live chat support widget to pricing page Why it matters: • Notion is optimizing conversion funnel by reducing friction for pricing inquiries, particularly for enterprise/custom deals • Live chat on pricing signals confidence in plan positioning and willingness to engage prospects in real-time Positioning: - Added live chat widget to pricing page with custom avatar branding - Chat option available during pricing evaluation to handle objections or custom plan discussions What to do: • Audit your own pricing page engagement tools-if you lack live chat or comparable conversion optimization, implement similar friction-reduction mechanics • Monitor whether Notion's chat volume increases and track common questions to identify competitive weaknesses in your positioning or plan clarity

  • Notion removes live chat widget from pricing page

    Notion15 Aug 2026

    Notion removes live chat widget from pricing page Why it matters: • Reduces direct contact friction for pricing inquiries-sales conversations may now route through contact form or demo requests instead • Suggests Notion may be optimizing support cost structure or shifting sales motion for enterprise deals Positioning: - Removed live chat widget from pricing page (previously featured Notion chat avatar) - Direct messaging capability no longer prominently available at point of purchase consideration What to do: • Monitor whether Notion redirects pricing inquiries through alternative contact channels (form, calendar links, or dedicated sales email) • Assess if this signals a shift in Notion's sales strategy-could indicate they're concentrating support on higher-value deals or reducing real-time support overhead

Both pages were read on 11 Nov 2026 by the same reader, so the figures above are two prices from one day rather than two prices from two moments. 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.
