TaskLoco and Linear solve completely different problems. TaskLoco turns digital sticky notes into a productivity system. Linear builds sleek issue tracking for software teams.
If you're organizing personal tasks or simple team workflows, TaskLoco's sticky note wall beats Linear's developer-focused interface. If you're managing software sprints and product roadmaps, Linear's purpose-built tools crush TaskLoco's simple approach.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.

Philosophy: Sticky Notes vs Issue Tracking
TaskLoco treats tasks like physical sticky notes. Write a task, stick it to your wall, move it around. The interface mimics the simplicity of paper notes but adds digital superpowers — reminders, file attachments, team sharing.
Linear was built specifically for software development. Every feature serves engineering workflows: issue tracking, sprint planning, release cycles, project dependencies. The interface feels like it was designed by developers, for developers.
TaskLoco works for anyone who thinks in tasks and lists. Linear works best when your work involves tickets, sprints, and product roadmaps.
Features: Simple Tasks vs Complex Projects
TaskLoco Premium gives you unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, calendar view, reminders, and team sharing. That's it. The feature set stays lean because complexity kills the sticky note experience.
Linear offers issue tracking, project timelines, roadmaps, sprint planning, release management, API access, and dozens of integrations. Linear Standard costs $8/month per seat and includes everything most teams need.
Linear excels at things TaskLoco can't touch: project dependencies, time tracking, custom workflows, and sophisticated reporting. TaskLoco wins at things Linear overcomplicated: quick task capture, visual organization, and getting started in under 60 seconds.
Team Collaboration: Different Scales
TaskLoco Premium handles team sharing through shared note walls. Team members see real-time updates, get email notifications for changes, and can attach files to shared notes. Every person needs their own Premium subscription.
Linear was designed for software teams from day one. Issues flow through custom workflows, team members get assigned specific roles, and everything integrates with GitHub, Slack, and your development tools. Linear's team features are significantly more sophisticated.
Linear handles complex project hierarchies, cross-team dependencies, and enterprise-scale collaboration. TaskLoco works better for straightforward task sharing without the overhead of formal project management.
Pricing: Simple vs Scalable
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Linear charges $8/month per seat for their Standard plan, which includes all core features. Their free tier supports up to 10 users but limits features significantly. Enterprise plans cost more and add advanced security.
TaskLoco's pricing is straightforward — everyone pays the same rate. Linear's pricing scales with team size and feature needs, which works better but adds complexity for smaller teams.
