Linear vs Trello: our take

Linear and Trello tie at 72/100, so the decision comes down entirely to which axes you weigh most.

Linear pulls ahead on Power and Views (Power 8 vs 6), which makes it the stronger pick for teams.

Trello pulls ahead on Value and Platform (Value 8 vs 6), which makes it the stronger pick for undefined.

The clearest divide is Value (Linear 6, Trello 8). If that axis is central to how you work, let it settle the choice.

On price they're close: Linear is Free · $8/mo and Trello is Free · $5/mo, so cost is unlikely to decide it.
