A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Linear stands out with Keyboard-first navigation and Cycles and roadmaps. Smartsheet counters with Spreadsheet-style project management and Gantt, card, and calendar views.
Linear's Achilles heel: built for devs by devs — non-technical teams will feel alienated by the workflow assumptions. Smartsheet's: it’s a spreadsheet pretending to be a pm tool — power users love it, everyone else gets confused. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
