What Linear + Notion does well

Linear is built for speed

Linear has single-key shortcuts for almost everything, a triage queue for incoming issues and a polished interface for teams that work from the keyboard.

Notion is the better writing tool

Notion has flexible databases, synced blocks, public pages and a large template gallery. Teams use it for wikis, handbooks and published documentation.

Each has docs and links of its own

Linear has project documents with real-time editing and version history, and Notion shows live previews of Linear issues, projects and views inside a page.

What Shaire does well

One product instead of two

Tasks and docs share one workspace, one search box and one member list. There is one tool to sign in to, one to learn and one subscription to manage.

One bill for the whole team

Shaire is €20 a month for up to ten people and €59 for up to twenty-five, for the workspace, instead of a price per seat in each tool.

Tasks inside the docs

A page can hold a live list of tasks filtered by list, milestone or assignee, and a checklist line becomes a task with a link back to the page.

The pair many product teams run

Linear and Notion are a popular combination for product teams. Linear tracks issues, cycles and projects, and it is fast. Notion holds the specs, the handbook and the meeting notes, and it is flexible. Each one does its half well.

The pair still means two products. People sign in to two tools, search in two places and manage members twice. A spec in Notion shows Linear issues as previews that refresh when the page reloads, and the work that spec describes lives in the other tool.

Tasks and docs in one place

Shaire puts both halves in one workspace. A page can hold a live task list filtered by list, milestone or assignee, and it updates as the work moves. A checklist line becomes a task with a link back to the page. Tasks have sprints, a board and a timeline, and pages have real-time editing, templates and version history.

The price for ten people

For a team of ten, Linear Basic is $100 a month billed yearly and Notion Plus is €95 a month, on two subscriptions in two currencies. Shaire is €20 a month for the whole workspace, and €59 a month up to twenty-five people. The details are on the pricing page.

Both Linear and Notion have free plans. Linear Free takes unlimited members but stops at 250 issues, and Notion Free limits how much a team can add. Shaire is free for two people, with every feature.

Before you switch

Shaire has a command palette rather than single-key shortcuts. It has no databases, synced blocks or public pages, and no mobile app, SSO, export or AI features. There is no importer, so work moves from Linear and Notion by hand.

Closing a workspace

An owner closes the workspace from its settings. The subscription stops that day, and the data is deleted thirty days later. Until then, the workspace can still be recovered.

How to choose

Choose Shaire if

Common questions

What do Linear and Notion cost together for ten people?

Linear Basic is $10 per user per month billed yearly, so $100 a month for ten. Notion Plus is €9.50 per member per month, so €95 a month. They are billed in different currencies on separate subscriptions. Shaire is €20 a month for the whole workspace up to ten people.

Does Linear have documents?

Yes. Linear has project documents with real-time editing, version history and templates, and they can reference issues. They sit inside projects rather than forming a wiki for the whole company, which is why many teams add Notion. In Shaire, pages form one tree for the whole workspace.

Can Notion show Linear issues?

Yes. Paste a Linear link into Notion as a preview and it shows the issue's title, status and assignee, refreshed when the page reloads. Each person connects Linear to their own Notion account. In Shaire, a task list block shows a filtered list of tasks from the same workspace.

How is Shaire different from Linear and Notion?

Shaire is one product for tasks and docs, priced per workspace. A page can hold a live list of tasks, and a checklist line becomes a task that links back to the page. Linear focuses on fast issue tracking, and Notion on flexible documents and databases.
