The Verdict
Everhour is built for project teams and agencies, with a focus on in-app-timer and project-budgeting. Linear targets software teams and startups and leads with issues and cycles.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($8.5/mo for Everhour, $8/mo for Linear), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Bottom line: Linear has a slight overall edge — but if native integration with pm tools matters most to you, Everhour may still be the right call.
