Engineer-speed UI. Every-team-friendly.
Linear is gorgeous — if you're an engineer. But marketing, ops and leadership never adopt it. Gryphin matches Linear's speed and keyboard-first polish, and every team in your company can actually use it.
Why teams switch from Linear
The differences that actually change how your team works — not the marketing fluff.
Not just for engineers
Linear is designed around engineering primitives: issues, projects, cycles. Your go-to-market team will never adopt it. Gryphin works for every function in one tool.
Views that match how you work
Linear's views are tight but narrow. Gryphin has kanban, list, calendar, timeline, dashboard, map — choose whichever fits the work.
Automation that ships
Linear automations are narrow — mostly status transitions. Gryphin has a full automation engine with webhooks, conditions, and multi-step actions.
AI that plans work
Gryphin AI breaks epics into subtasks with estimates. Linear AI is limited to auto-complete and search helpers.
Better pricing at scale
Linear Basic is $10/seat billed annually ($100/mo for 10 seats). Gryphin Team is $39/mo flat for 10 seats, and Pro is $79 with dashboards, timeline and a larger AI allowance.
Live cursors + board chat
Linear has great live sync. Gryphin has live sync plus live cursors, integrated board chat, and typing indicators.
