Linear is great for small, senior teams. When you add timelines, roadmaps, RBAC, or multiple sub-teams — you need Projiq.
Linear has no built-in Gantt or timeline view. Roadmap planning requires workarounds or third-party tools, creating a disconnect between issues and long-term plans.
Linear offers Admin and Member roles — no project-level RBAC. When you need to give a contractor read-only access to one project, or restrict junior devs from certain boards, Linear can't do it.
Linear's Teams concept works well for 1–2 teams. Managing 5+ teams with different workflows, sprint cadences, and access levels becomes fragmented in Linear's workspace model.
Linear charges per member at ~$8/month each. As you scale from 10 to 30 to 50 team members, costs grow linearly. Projiq's org-level pricing keeps costs predictable at any size.
Linear's opinionated defaults are great at small scale but can become limiting. Custom issue statuses, complex workflow states, and org-specific processes are harder to configure.
Linear is optimized for individual engineers, not engineering managers or executives who need cross-team visibility, roadmap progress, and delivery tracking across multiple projects.
