At 50 seats on the Basic tier with annual billing, Linear costs $400 per month, or $4,800 per year. Higher tiers and monthly billing change the math; the full per-tier breakdown is below.

Recommended tier for a 50-person team
Basic is the cheapest tier with a real published per-seat price, landing at $400 per month for 50 seats on annual billing.
Stay on Basic only if all 50 members are in one engineering team. The moment you have two or more squads with separate intake queues, Business pays for itself in PM time recovered from manual triage routing.
