LinearB

Engineering intelligence for DORA metrics and workflow automation

freemiumupdated Apr 21, 2026

LinearB is a software engineering intelligence platform trusted by over 3,000 engineering leaders to track DORA metrics, cycle time broken into four phases (coding, pickup, review, deploy), and developer workflow patterns. It connects to Git repos and project management tools, benchmarks team performance against 8.1M+ pull requests from 4,800 organizations, and automates workflow improvements via gitStream — a policy-as-code engine for PR routing, labeling, and review automation.

LinearB provides real-time visibility into engineering delivery performance by connecting to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, and other development tools. The platform tracks all four DORA metrics — deployment frequency, change lead time, change failure rate, and mean time to restore — alongside more granular metrics like cycle time decomposed into coding time, pickup time, review time, and deploy time. This breakdown helps engineering managers pinpoint exactly where work gets stuck rather than just seeing that delivery is slow. The 2026 Software Engineering Benchmarks Report, built from analysis of over 8.1 million pull requests across 4,800+ organizations, provides industry-standard comparisons for every metric.

The platform goes beyond passive dashboards with active workflow automation. gitStream is a policy-as-code engine that automates repetitive PR tasks: routing reviews to the right code owners based on file paths and change patterns, applying contextual labels, auto-approving low-risk changes like documentation updates, and enforcing team working agreements around PR size and review time. The WorkerB bot handles routine notifications — reminding developers about stale PRs, tracking code review SLAs, and flagging blockers. AI-powered iteration summaries generate retrospective discussion starters, and the platform now includes AI code review automation and GenAI impact measurement to track how tools like Copilot and Cursor affect team metrics.

Pricing starts with a free tier for up to 8 contributors with 45-day data retention, connecting to 50 repos with basic DORA metrics and goal tracking. The Pro plan at $420/contributor/year extends to 19 contributors with 100 repos, six months of data retention, and advanced features like the feature tracker and team pipeline acceleration. Enterprise at $549/contributor/year removes all limits and adds three years of data retention, custom integrations, and dedicated support. LinearB positions itself as a team-focused tool — it deliberately avoids individual developer ranking to protect engineering culture while still providing the data needed for continuous improvement.
