# Agile Planning Pricing Roundup

> A pricing and product comparison of Jira, Linear, Shortcut and ClickUp finds that the meaningful divide is not access to a backlog or a single-team sprint board - all four cover those basics - but where vendors place cross-team planning, capacity, reporting and governance. Jira charges $14.54 per user per month for Premium, compared with $7.91 for Standard on its published monthly pricing, while Linear puts issues, projects, cycles and initiatives in its core feature set and charges paid customers mainly for scale, administration and advanced intelligence. Shortcut and ClickUp push iteration or sprint management into their free plans, though advanced reporting and portfolio controls still move upmarket.

## Achievements

- Jira makes backlogs and single-team timeline views available on Free, Standard and Premium plans.
