Linear subscription tracking.
Linear's pricing is clean — per-user-per-month, no hidden add-ons, no contact tiers. The leak is straightforward: members who left aren't always removed because their issues are still referenced. Linear bills you for them anyway. Audits typically recover 10–25% of a Linear workspace's spend just from member-list hygiene.

Hidden renewal patterns for Linear.
- Pattern
Departed-member seats
Members appear billed until manually removed. Issue authorship reassigns automatically; nothing breaks if you remove an ex-employee. The friction is purely administrative.
- Pattern
Annual contract paid monthly
Annual plans are billed monthly on the bank statement but locked in for 12 months. The single 1/12-of-annual charge each month obscures the contract length.
How to find your hidden Linear renewal date.
Workspace settings → Plans & Billing. Renewal date and seat count show at the top. Annual subscribers also receive a renewal email roughly 30 days ahead from billing@linear.app.
What Linear looks like on a bank statement.
Spendrein matches the following descriptors and routes them to the Linear vendor record:
- LINEAR

Linear subscription questions, plainly.
How do I find unused seats in Linear?
Workspace settings → Members lists everyone. Filter by last activity — members with no activity for 60+ days are removal candidates. Linear preserves their issues and comments; only the seat goes away.
Will Linear refund a cancellation mid-contract?
Annual contracts run to the end of the contract period regardless of when you cancel — no proration refund. You keep paid features until the renewal date and then drop to Free. Set the cancellation date as your reminder, not the cancel-now date.
Does Spendrein recognize Linear on a bank statement?
Yes. Descriptors LINEAR, LINEAR.APP, LINEAR HQ, and Stripe-routed LIN*LINEAR all match. The audit flags Linear when the line-item amount implies more seats than your active engineering headcount.
Is Linear's Free plan usable for a real team?
For very small teams or single-product workspaces with low issue volume, yes — the 250-issue cap is the limiting factor. Active teams typically exceed it within a quarter. The Standard plan at $8/user/month is the realistic floor for ongoing use.
Tired of manually managing Linear?
Drop your bank statement into Spendrein. The audit catches every recurring Linear charge, every duplicate seat, and surfaces the renewal date so you can stop the auto-renewal before it locks in. Free plan, no card, no bank linking.
