What it actually costs to run a Linear-style issue tracker for a small team (I built one to find out)

Disclosure: I built the tool mentioned at the end. Our five-person team was paying per seat for an issue tracker, and I wanted to know what the same thing costs to run when you strip out sales and marketing. So I built one with the same shape: issues, projects, cycles, triage, saved views, documents, inbox, board and timeline, GitHub PR linking, Slack notifications, keyboard-first. Numbers so far, hosting a few workspaces on one small server: about $20 a month for compute an

AI 分析

痛点:小型团队使用 Linear/Jira 等按席位收费的 issue tracker,成本与实际基础设施成本严重脱节,团队人数增加时被迫支付高额订阅费。

目标用户:5-50 人的小型软件团队、初创公司和独立开发者团队

证据:Our five-person team was paying per seat for an issue tracker... Per-seat pricing at $8 to $14 would be charging that thousand-workspace base over a million a year for the same infrastructure. Seat pricing is a sales model, not a cost model.

变现:按工作区收取固定月费(如 $10-$20/workspace/月)或一次性买断/自托管授权,避免按席位收费;可加 SSO、审计、企业支持等高级功能。

MVP:2 周内做出极简 issue tracker:issues/boards/cycles、GitHub PR 链接、Slack 通知、CSV 导入,按工作区固定收费;先服务 5-20 人小团队,验证 flat pricing 付费意愿。

竞品:Linear、Jira、Shortcut、Height、Plane、GitHub Issues、YouTrack、Notion

摘要:发帖人因 5 人团队按席位付费而自建 Linear 风格 issue tracker,并估算少量工作区月成本约 $20,1000 个工作区约 $300-$800;按 $8-$14/席位收费会达到年收入百万级别,与实际成本脱节。作者认为席位定价是销售模型而非成本模型,因此提供免费且不限席位,未来可能按工作区固定收费。
