Grafizum vs Linear
Updated 10 November 2026
Short answer: Linear is the better tool for a product team that plans and ships together. Grafizum is the better tool when the "team" is mostly AI coding agents and you need one screen that shows what each of them is doing across your projects.
Side by side
| Grafizum | Linear | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | One person or a small team running many AI coding agents | Product and engineering teams |
| Agents connect by | Remote MCP with OAuth | Official hosted MCP server with OAuth |
| Who writes most updates | Agents, as they work | People, with agents helping |
| Planning features | Task queue, status, calendar | Cycles, roadmaps, triage and more |
| Agent-specific parts | Record per agent, review queue, project memory file, auto and manual sync | Depends on the agent and integration you use |
| Integrations | MCP clients | A wide range of team tools |
| Price | Free plan, paid plans from $9 per month, counted by update volume | See Linear's pricing page |
Where Linear is better
- Several people plan work together and need cycles, roadmaps and triage.
- You need many integrations with the tools a team already uses.
- Your company already runs on Linear and wants agents inside the same tracker.
Where Grafizum is better
- You work alone or in a small team and most of the hands are agents.
- You run several projects and want one overview without setting up a team workspace for each.
- You want agents to pick up context from a memory file at the start of every session.
- You want a free plan that does not limit how many agents connect.
What about Jira, Notion or a spreadsheet?
The same reasoning applies. Tools built for human teams work with agents, but they expect a person to keep them current. Grafizum is built so that the agents do that. The longer explanation is in AI coding agent dashboard: how to manage multiple AI agents.
Details about Linear are taken from its public documentation as of November 2026 and can change. Check Linear itself before you decide.
Questions
- Is Grafizum a Linear alternative?
- For a product team that plans cycles and roadmaps, no: Linear is built for that. For a solo developer or small team whose main need is to see what several AI coding agents are doing across projects, Grafizum is the more direct fit.
- Can AI coding agents use Linear?
- Yes. Linear has an official hosted MCP server, so an agent can find, create and update issues, projects and comments.
- Why not just use Linear with its MCP server?
- You can, and for a team already on Linear it is a sensible choice. Grafizum differs in what it is built around: agents writing many small updates, a record per agent, a review queue for finished agent work, a memory file agents read each session, and pricing by update volume with a free plan for one person.
