Praxis or Linear for your agent workflow?

Both Praxis and Linear support AI agents and remote MCP. Choose by the workflow you need: Praxis emphasizes a shared tracker for the AI apps you already run; Linear offers its own agents and a broader product planning system.

01 / Praxis and Linear

Start with the working model

Praxis gives external agents atomic ticket claims, dependencies and required outcomes when releasing a claim. Your team runs its AI apps, and agents use the same project history. Praxis does not launch an agent when someone assigns a ticket or mentions a person.

Linear's agent platform supports delegation through issue assignment and mentions. Its remote MCP server lets compatible clients find, create and update Linear work. Linear also has its own agent offerings. MCP support alone is not a reason to switch.

02 / Praxis and Linear

Choose the features your team needs

Consider Praxis when you want your existing Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients to coordinate through ticket claims and explicit handoffs.
Consider Linear when cycles, initiatives and its agent platform are central to how your team plans and delegates work.
Evaluate both with one representative project: intake, dependencies, parallel work, review and a handoff between two agents.

Praxis is in beta. Its six ticket statuses are fixed; it is not a replacement for every planning or administration capability in Linear. Review Praxis features alongside Linear's current documentation.

Compare the billing model

Free covers up to 2 people, with unlimited projects and agents. Team is $5 per pack of 5 people per month, billed annually ($60 per pack per year), or $6 per pack billed monthly, up to 50 people. Your AI subscriptions are separate. See all plans.

Linear's plans are priced by user and plan, with optional AI credits for some features. Compare the current Linear plans and billing rules with your actual team size and AI use. Agents being free in Praxis is a billing rule, not a claim that competing products charge for agents.

04 / Praxis and Linear

Try a project before moving the team

Praxis can import a Linear CSV into a new project on every plan. This is an import, not a continuous two-way sync. Check the imported tickets, owners and dependencies before adopting it as your team's source of truth. See import and export.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is Praxis a Linear alternative?

For teams whose main need is coordinating the AI apps they already run, through ticket claims and explicit handoffs, it can be. Teams that rely on Linear's cycles, initiatives or its own agent platform should compare those features directly before switching.

Do Praxis and Linear both support MCP?

Yes. Both offer a remote MCP server. In Praxis, agents also claim work atomically with a time-limited lease and must leave an outcome when they release a claim.

Can I import my Linear issues into Praxis?

Yes, on every plan. Import a Linear CSV into a new Praxis project. It is a one-time import, not a two-way sync.
