Linear vs Shortcut——哪个更胜一筹？
选 Linear，如果你: 想要市面上最快、最有态度的issue tracker的工程团队
选 Shortcut，如果你: 用Trello不够了但觉得Jira太窒息的软件团队——10-100人工程团队的甜蜜点
我们的看法: Linear is easier to pick up, but Shortcut is more powerful long-term.
| Linear | Shortcut | |
|---|---|---|
| 价格 | Free for up to 250 issues | Standard $8/user/mo | Free for up to 10 users | Team $8.50/user/mo |
| 功能 | Keyboard-first navigation, Cycles and roadmaps, Git and PR integrations, Triage and auto-assignment, Sub-issues and relations | Kanban and timeline views built for dev sprints, Deep GitHub, GitLab, and Sentry integrations, Docs and wikis inside the project tool, Iteration planning with velocity tracking, Milestones that group epics across teams |
| 最适合 | Engineering teams that want the fastest, most opinionated issue tracker on the market | Software teams that outgrew Trello but find Jira suffocating — the sweet spot for 10-100 engineers |
| 学习曲线 | 简单 | 中等 |
真正的区别
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. Shortcut counters with Kanban and timeline views built for dev sprints and Deep GitHub, GitLab, and Sentry integrations.
Linear's Achilles heel: built for devs by devs — non-technical teams will feel alienated by the workflow assumptions. Shortcut's: non-technical teams struggle with the developer-centric terminology and workflow assumptions. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
最终结论
If you value keyboard-first navigation and 想要市面上最快、最有态度的issue tracker的工程团队, go with Linear. If 用trello不够了但觉得jira太窒息的软件团队——10-100人工程团队的甜蜜点 matters more, Shortcut is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
