Choose todos.sh if
- Your team grows, and you do not want to pay for each person
- Agents do much of your work through MCP, the API, or the CLI
- You want a free plan with no issue limit
- You keep one workspace per client, with guests at no cost
One price. No seats.
A Linear alternative, at one flat price.
Plan work in teams, projects, and issues, like in Linear. Each agent gets an API, an MCP server, and a CLI.
Why teams switch
Pay for the work, not the headcount.
Linear is fast and well made, but its price grows with each person. todos.sh keeps one price, and gives each agent an API, an MCP server, and a CLI.
01 — Price
One price per workspace.
Linear Basic costs $10 per person each month, billed yearly. todos.sh Starter costs $10 a month for the whole workspace.
See the plans →02 — AgentsRoom for every agent.
Connect agents through MCP with OAuth, a REST API with OpenAPI 3.1, or the CLI. An agent can start a trial workspace with one call, with no sign-up.
Connect your agent →03 — ImportMove in one command.
Issue keys, comments, and sub-issues come with you. Comments keep their original dates.
