The Verdict
Everhour is built for project teams and agencies, with a focus on in-app-timer and project-budgeting. Linear targets developers and engineering teams and leads with issues and cycles.
Pricing is close: Everhour starts at $8.5/mo versus $10/mo for Linear — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Linear edges out on user ratings (4.8 vs 4.4). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
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.
