LinearB
LinearB measures engineering productivity, AI impact, delivery workflows, and developer experience for software teams.
LinearB gives engineering leaders visibility into delivery metrics, AI-assisted development, developer experience, project forecasting, resource allocation, and software investment. It also automates pull-request workflows, AI code reviews, policy enforcement, notifications, and reporting.
It is used by engineering, DevEx, platform, and technology leadership teams. The Essentials plan supports teams with 50+ developers and GitHub Cloud; Enterprise adds forecasting, resource allocation, cost capitalization, on-prem agents, and Slack or Microsoft Teams automations. Plans are billed annually, and additional AI credits cost extra.
