LINEAR ALTERNATIVE

Linear is beautiful. But it's built for teams of 20.

You're a solo dev or a tiny team. You don't need workspace permissions, triage queues, or enterprise SSO. You need a board, a changelog, and a way to show users what you shipped. That's Version Pill.

What you get

Kanban board with drag-and-drop

Public changelog your users actually see

Public roadmap with feature voting

MCP integration for Claude & Cursor

AI-generated release notes

Epics, cycles, and sprint planning

Embeddable widget for your app

Free plan with unlimited tasks

Pro at $5/mo (Linear starts at $8/seat)

No per-seat pricing — ever

What you're probably using instead

Linear$8/seat/mo, designed for engineering teams of 20+

Linear ChangelogNo embeddable widget, no public voting

Linear RoadmapInternal-facing, not for showing users

Linear MCPNo native MCP server for AI assistants

Version Pill

Same kanban + releases workflow. But with a public changelog widget, roadmap voting, and MCP built in. $5/mo flat, not per seat.
