Accelerating the future of engineering
Why companies choose LinearB
DX is a self-proclaimed research organization that sells frameworks and a survey tool.
LinearB is an end-to-end engineering productivity platform that actually improves your developer experience, efficiency, and effectiveness.
Orchestrating and Measuring AI Workflows
DX helps you send your devs a survey via a simple Slack bot. LinearB allows you to control how AI is applied to your team workflows, quantifies the impact of your AI investment, and ensures your team maintains standards and compliance without getting bogged down by process.
Developer Productivity Insights
DX is a consulting firm with a survey tool and a black-box, proprietary research methodology. When you ask them for quantitative insights, they give you an API key and tell you to build it yourself (or pay for services, because that's how consultants make money).
Companies like IKEA, Expedia, and Adobe choose LinearB over DX because our platform provides deep, quantitative insights, the most comprehensive benchmarks (based on 3rd party frameworks used by leading companies), and the tools you need to actually solve problems for your developers. And if you want a custom survey for your organization, weāll set you up for free - no strings attached.
Team Coaching, Forecasting, and Executive Support
While DX is noodling away on yet another framework to justify their exorbitant fees, LinearB is giving engineering leaders the ability to forecast project delivery, automate cost capitalization, coach developers, and allocate their resources to deliver better outcomes for the teams that they serve.
Stop buying snake oil. Start helping your developers do more.
