About Jira
Jira is Atlassian's issue tracker and agile project management platform — sprints, backlogs, roadmaps and deep reporting. It's the enterprise default for software teams, free for up to ten users.
About Linear
Linear is a keyboard-first tracker for issues, projects and roadmaps. It is built for software teams that want Jira-level structure without the configuration tax. Cycles, views and Git integrations stay out of the way so planning does not become a second job.
