Linear ships Coding Sessions with prepaid AI credits

Linear pricing

Linear launched Coding Sessions (June 11, 2026), its first usage-metered feature — billed from a workspace-level prepaid AI-credit balance shared across AI tools.

Before

Per-seat only; AI agents bundled into seats with no usage meter

After

Per-seat plans plus a prepaid AI-credit balance for Coding Sessions

Coding Sessions is the first crack in Linear’s otherwise meter-free, per-seat model. Credits are pooled at the workspace level and shared across AI features; workspaces on Basic, Business, and Enterprise received a promotional balance ($20 × unsuspended users) at launch, and the default model is Claude Opus 4.8. Linear still charges no per-seat AI surcharge — Coding Sessions is the single place where spend can drift via usage.
