# Linear, Shortcut and Jira pricing roundup

> A comparison of Linear, Shortcut and Jira through the limits built into their free plans. Linear now permits unlimited members but caps free workspaces at 250 issues and two teams; Shortcut offers a free plan for teams of up to 10 people; Jira is free forever for up to 10 users with 2 GB of storage.
