    1. 1

      Bad · The hero carries no button. The one way to sign up is a small pill in the navigation. We rated it high, not critical, because that pill stays in view.

    1. 4

      Good · The next feature card peeks in from the edge, so you can tell the row scrolls.

  3. Linear’s Pricing: arrival screen, captured 3 July 2026. Pins: 2, Bad.

    03Pricing: arrival

    1. 2

      Bad · On the pricing page, a very large heading, with its white space, takes about half the opening screen. The free plan’s features sit below the fold, its button too.

  4. Linear’s Pricing: the Business plan screen, captured 3 July 2026. Pins: 3, Bad; 5, Good.

    04Pricing: the Business plan

    1. 3

      Bad · The plan price on show is the yearly rate, with “Billed yearly” switched on. A monthly buyer sees their real price after switching it off, not before.

    2. 5

      Good · Each plan has a full-width “Get started” button, easy to tap.

  5. Linear’s Sign-up screen, captured 3 July 2026. Pins: 6, Good.

    1. 6

      Good · Sign-up is one decision: 3 sign-in options in a clear order, the terms shown up front.

What works

The score

95 out of 100

no critical finding

Every mark that counts names its rule. One critical finding caps the whole rating. The score assesses the site against those rules. It is not a sales forecast.

We show what is good, what is bad, never the fix. The fix is what clients pay for.
