Klarora vs Linear: the issue tracker and everything around it

Linear is the fastest issue tracker for product teams and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Klarora is for the company around the engineering team: goals, docs, chat, customers, money and hiring, with engineering linked in through GitHub and Sentry.

The short version

1For engineers filing and triaging issues, Linear is faster and more opinionated: cycles, triage, keyboard-first, Git-driven status.
2Linear has project documents and initiatives, but no wiki with databases, no team chat, no whiteboards, no forms. Those are Standard on Klarora.
3Linear has nothing for sales, bookkeeping or hiring. Klarora has a CRM in Standard and Finance and Recruitment as add-ons on the same records.
4AI: Linear's AI triages and summarises issues and supports coding agents. Klarora's assistant works across projects, mail, CRM and the ledger, with budgets and approvals; Deep Research is an add-on.
5Many teams keep Linear for engineering and run the rest of the company on Klarora. The Engineering tab on a goal links the GitHub repo both tools already watch.

Pick Linear if

Your company is mostly engineers and the tracker is the system of record
You want cycles, triage and keyboard speed above everything
Docs, chat and customer data already live elsewhere and you like that

Pick Klarora if

Sales, operations, finance and hiring need to work in the same place as product
Goals should show progress from tasks and the ledger, not only from issues
You want one assistant that can answer about customers, cash and candidates
You want EU hosting and end-to-end encrypted chat without a separate tool

Using both

Goals above, issues belowCompany and team goals live in Klarora with key results and check-ins. Engineering issues stay in Linear. The goal's Engineering tab watches the same GitHub repository, so merged pull requests show up on the goal.

Sentry to bothSentry issues can open a Klarora task for the customer-facing follow-up while the fix is tracked in Linear. The autofix loop proposes a pull request for review either way.

Moving over laterLinear exports issues as CSV with labels, cycles and estimates. The import maps them to tasks under goals, keeping assignees and dates. [LINEAR IMPORT: confirm scope]

Questions people ask when comparing

Is Klarora as fast as Linear for filing issues?

No. Linear is built for that single job and it shows. Klarora is fast enough for product work, and much faster for the question “how is this goal going across sales, support and engineering?”

Does Klarora have cycles and triage?

Sprints with net capacity cover cycles. Intake goes through a backlog view and forms; there is no dedicated triage inbox yet. [ROADMAP: confirm]

Can coding agents work in Klarora?

Yes. Automations have a coding-agent connection, the goal's autofix loop opens pull requests for review, and external agents connect through the OAuth MCP server.

Is there a free plan?

Both have one. Linear's free plan is capped at 250 issues; Klarora Standard is free for up to 100 members and 100 goals with unlimited tasks.

Keep Linear. Give the rest of the company a home.

Standard is free for 100 members. Link your GitHub repo to a goal in five minutes.
