Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: The billing descriptor LINEAR* APP appears on corporate or personal credit card statements when Linear Orbit, Inc. processes subscription dues for its popular issue tracking and project management software. Designed specifically for software development teams, Linear bills workspaces on a per-seat monthly or annual cadence. Charges typically range from $8 to $16 per user per month depending on whether the team uses the Standard or Plus tier, scaling automatically based on the active number of workspace members.
Unreviewed registry note: If you notice this charge unexpectedly, it usually means a developer, product manager, or team lead linked a credit card to upgrade a project workspace from the free tier. Workspace billing managers sometimes add new team members mid-cycle, which triggers prorated charges or shifts monthly invoice totals. Reviewing your organization's software tooling budget or checking with engineering leads will quickly identify which workspace initiated the subscription.
Unreviewed registry note: To inspect past invoices, check active seat counts, or downgrade your workspace back to the free plan, log into the web application and navigate to the billing settings menu. If an unauthorized charge occurs or if subscription renewals happen without proper team notification, you can contact Linear support or reach out to your card issuer to secure your account and resolve billing inquiries.
