How we score tools →

Linear is the issue-tracking and project-management tool built for high-velocity product teams. UK startups love its keyboard-first design, instant search, and opinionated workflows — issues, sprints, roadmaps, and insights without admin overhead. Free tier supports up to 250 issues for small teams; paid plans start at $8/user/month. It integrates with GitHub, Slack, and Figma. Linear is GDPR compliant with EU data processing terms. It's the modern default for UK SaaS product teams that find Jira heavyweight — fast, focused, and a pleasure to use daily.
