Sprint Track vs Linear
The keyboard-first developer experience you love, with time tracking, docs, and stakeholder views your PM and ops teams can actually use. Same speed bar, wider surface.
Seeded issue with module, cycle, label, state, and estimate data for analytics testing.
No description provided.
Why teams switch from Linear
What we hear from engineering managers and CTOs running Linear for two years and counting.
Product, ops, and client teams end up in a second tool because Linear's UX is built for developers. The handoff cost catches up around the 20-person mark.
Linear has no native way to log hours or estimate against actuals. Agencies and any team running billable work end up in Toggl or Harvest alongside Linear.
Specs and decisions sit in Notion or Confluence. The context switch you came to Linear to escape just moved one app over.
Gantt, Calendar, and a real spreadsheet view never shipped. Sharing a project with a client or exec means screenshotting the board.
Side-by-side comparison
Thirteen rows that cover what teams compare. Linear deliberately leaves things out. Sprint Track ships them without sacrificing the developer experience.
Comparison reflects publicly published features and pricing as of June 2026. Competitor capabilities verified against their own documentation.
Where we are different
The gaps Linear left on the table by design, filled without losing the speed.
One workspace for everyone
Engineering runs a keyboard-first sprint board. Product runs a Gantt roadmap. Ops runs a table. Nobody is forced into a tool that does not match their work.
Time tracking developers actually use
Click play on an issue. Mark the entry billable. Done. No third-party app, no separate browser tab, no manual reconciliation at the end of the week.
Docs next to the issues
Write the spec where the work happens. Link it to the module, the cycle, and the issues that ship it. No more two-tab life with Notion or Confluence.
Client-shareable views
Share a project status link with a client, an exec, or a board. Guests do not need an account, do not see the workspace, and cannot edit anything.
Move from Linear
The Linear importer brings across issues, cycles, teams, labels, priorities, comments, and attachments. The keyboard-first muscle memory carries over.
Authenticate Sprint Track with your Linear workspace over OAuth. Linear teams map cleanly to Sprint Track projects.
Issues, cycles, labels, priorities, statuses, and comments all auto-map. Linear shortcuts are preserved in Sprint Track's command palette.
Run a dry-run first to verify the mapping. Then kick off the real import. Most Linear workspaces finish in under fifteen minutes.
Verify the imported workspace, run both tools in parallel for a sprint if you want, and cut over when the team is ready.
Linear stays read-only during the import. The whole process can be rolled back per-team at any point. Bring teams across one at a time if you prefer to validate as you go.
Cost comparison
Linear Plus alone is reasonable. Add the time tracker and the docs tool your team also pays for, and Sprint Track closes the gap by an order of magnitude.
Based on published per-seat list pricing as of June 2026. Contracted volume rates vary. Sprint Track pricing reflects the AI tier with everything bundled.
What Linear switchers say
We kept Linear for eighteen months but our PMs were always in a separate tool. Sprint Track gave us Linear-quality UX with enough structure for the rest of the team.
Our engineers were skeptical. After a week they stopped asking when we were going back to Linear. The command palette and shortcuts hit the bar they expected.
Frequently asked questions
Speed is a core design principle, not an afterthought. Keyboard shortcuts cover every common action, the command palette opens with Cmd-K, and instant search is wired across the whole workspace. The bar Linear set is the bar we hold ourselves to.
Yes. Cycle automation rules cover unstarted-issue rollover, scope-change alerts, and end-of-cycle archive. Configure once per workspace and let the cycle close itself.
Sprint Track is configurable, not mandatory complexity. The defaults are minimal. Hide what your team does not use, keep what matters, and the interface stays as quiet as Linear's while letting your PM and ops teammates do their work in the same workspace.
The most common shortcuts (Cmd-K for command palette, C to create, Cmd-Shift-P to navigate) work identically. Custom shortcuts can be remapped per user.
Insights map to Sprint Track dashboards with a custom widget builder. Saved views carry across during import and continue to filter the same way.
