Comparison
Jonta vs Linear
Linear is a fast issue tracker for product teams. Jonta adds a client portal, incidents, uptime monitoring, release notes and a wiki at a flat price.
Quick answer
Linear is a fast, well-designed issue tracker for in-house product teams, priced per user. Jonta covers issue tracking and sprints too, and adds what client-facing teams need: a client portal, client-visible incidents, uptime monitoring, release notes for clients and a wiki, at one flat price for the whole team.
