Why Scrums.com is the Best LinearB Alternative

LinearB tells you what is wrong. Scrums.com tells you what is wrong and gives you the engineers to fix it.

Metrics That Come With a Team

LinearB gives you DORA metrics and cycle time data. When those metrics flag a problem, you still need to source, hire, and onboard engineers to address it. Scrums.com gives you the same metrics and 10,000+ AI-vetted engineers deployable in 21 days. The platform that shows the gap also fills it.

SPACE Metrics Included as Standard

LinearB tracks DORA metrics and PR-level cycle time. Scrums.com adds SPACE metrics: satisfaction, performance, activity, communication, and efficiency across your engineering organisation. A more complete picture of delivery health, in the same platform.

No Per-Developer Pricing as You Scale

LinearB charges per user on paid plans. Every engineer added increases the platform cost. Scrums.com's platform subscription is tiered, not per developer. Analytics costs do not automatically multiply with every hire.

What you get with Scrums.com that you won't find elsewhere

Engineering Intelligence

From Visibility to Delivery in One Platform

LinearB shows you where delivery is breaking down: slow cycle times, blocked PRs, missed deployments. What it cannot do is give you more engineers. Scrums.com's engineering intelligence platform tracks the same signals and connects them to a talent marketplace of 10,000+ AI-vetted engineers. If your metrics flag a problem, you can address it in 21 days, not after a separate six-week hiring process.

DORA and SPACE: A Wider Diagnostic Picture

LinearB's metrics layer is built around DORA: deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and MTTR. Scrums.com tracks those and adds SPACE metrics, which cover satisfaction, performance, activity, communication, and efficiency. You get a broader read on your engineering organisation's health, not just the deployment pipeline.

Compliance & Scale

Delivery Intelligence Beyond Internal Trends

LinearB tracks how your team performs relative to its own history. Scrums.com's engineering intelligence platform gives you real-time DORA and SPACE metrics, sprint forecasting, and CI/CD data across every engagement. You see delivery health as it happens, not just as a trend comparison against past performance.

Scrums.com is made for...

CTOs and VPs of Engineering

LinearB gives you the signal. If your DORA metrics are deteriorating, you know it quickly. What you still need is the capacity to respond. Scrums.com connects that signal to 10,000+ AI-vetted engineers deployable in 21 days, so the gap between the data showing a problem and people fixing it closes fast. Add SPACE metrics and the platform tells you more and does more than LinearB alone.

Engineering Managers

LinearB's WorkerB AI reduces friction in the PR review process. Scrums.com combines AI-assisted code review with a full engineering team already integrated into your sprint cadence. If you are running a LinearB engagement today and finding that the data surfaces problems you cannot resource, Scrums.com replaces the analytics layer and adds delivery capacity in one engagement.

Procurement and Finance Leaders

LinearB's per-user pricing means your platform cost scales with your engineering headcount. A 50-person engineering team pays more than a 20-person team, without any additional delivery capability. Scrums.com's platform subscription is tiered rather than per-developer. View current rates.
