Pillar-by-Pillar Breakdown
Project Management
Both offer task/issue management. Linear is optimized for software development with cycles, roadmaps, and Git integrations. Proman provides Kanban boards, sprint planning, and calendar views for broader team use.
Team Chat
Proman includes built-in chat with threads, @mentions, and file sharing — tied directly to projects. Linear has no messaging — teams use Slack or Discord alongside it.
Time Tracking
Proman has one-click timers, manual entry, billable/non-billable tracking, and weekly reports — included on all plans. Linear has no native time tracking.
Invoicing
Proman generates invoices directly from tracked time — hours auto-populate line items, payments via Stripe. Linear has no invoicing — it focuses purely on issue tracking.
Agentic AI
Proman includes AI that summarizes boards, extracts action items from chat, and reschedules tasks — 25 actions/day on Pro. Linear offers AI features like auto-labeling and writing assistance.
