The Linear alternative
that just makes sense.
Linear's speed and polish — for your whole team, at a fraction of the price. Linear is beautiful, but it's built for software teams and priced like a premium tool. Magnifi brings the same fast, focused experience to your entire organization — design, ops, marketing, and engineering — for $3 a seat.
Free for teams up to 5 · No credit card
Is Magnifi a good Linear alternative?
Yes. Magnifi is a cheaper, simpler, all-in-one alternative to Linear: a flat $3 per seat each month (versus Linear's $8), free for teams up to 5, with no setup project or learning curve. A team of 10 saves about $600 a year while getting tasks, boards, timelines, teams, docs, and notifications in one workspace.

Why teams look beyond Linear.
Built only for software teams
Linear's model assumes engineers and cycles. Magnifi fits any team — with boards, tables, and timelines that suit non-technical work too.
Premium price as you scale
At $8+ per seat, a growing team adds up quickly. Magnifi is $3 per seat, with the first 5 members free.
Opinionated by design
Linear's rigid cycles and workflow are great until they aren't. Magnifi flexes to how your team actually works.
