https://retentioncheck.com/grade/linear-rcteam
Summary
Linear is the rare SaaS product with a loyal vocal user base and a defensible product philosophy. Churn drivers are narrow: per-seat pricing pressure at 50 plus seats, concerns about becoming Jira through enterprise feature creep, and limited customization for teams whose workflows do not fit Linear's opinions.
Priority Action
Hold the line on opinionated UX. Publish a public commitment to never become Jira. Add usage-based billing option for orgs whose seat count outpaces their actual active users.

Fix: Introduce a usage-based ceiling above a seat threshold. Cap monthly cost at the equivalent of N active editors, not N total seats.
