Basecamp vs Linear pricing
Both of these are in Project management, and we read both pricing pages the same way, with the same reader. Everything below is what each page printed on the day we read it. Both pages read on 1 Sept 2026.
We check each page about once a day, so this is a daily reading, not a live feed. Prices are copied as printed, never converted and never averaged.
The two pages
Tier by tier
Rows are lined up by position on each page, not by tier name, because the names never match across two vendors. Row 1 is the top tier on each page, row 2 the one under it. Where one page has fewer tiers than the other, the row is left blank rather than paired with something it is not.

The entry tier
Linear is the cheaper of the two at the entry tier: $10/user/month on Basic, against $299/mo on Pro Unlimited. That is $289 less, 97 percent below Basecamp.
Linear charges per person and Basecamp charges for the whole account, so the two figures are not like for like. This is the cheapest paid monthly tier we can read on each page. Free tiers, quoted tiers and per-unit rates are left out, because none of those is a figure you can put next to another company's figure.
