Linear offers a free plan [1], eliminating the cost barrier for evaluation, while Aha! requires paid subscription from the start. This gives Linear a significant advantage for teams with budget constraints or extended trial periods. Once you outgrow Linear's free tier, upgrading to a paid plan at approximately $16/mo provides substantial additional functionality. Compare this pricing path against Aha!'s tiering starting at $9/mo to assess total cost of ownership over 12 months. Linear's 4 tiers provide flexibility at different budgets, while Aha!'s 8 tiers structure may force you into higher-cost plans than necessary for your use case. If evaluation cost matters to your decision, Linear is the obvious starting point with zero financial commitment. Use the free tier to validate core functionality before committing to paid plans from either tool.
