LinearB vs. Swarmia

Swarmia customers switch to LinearB because they have high-level visibility, but no way to actively improve their developer productivity.

Accelerating the future of engineering

Why companies choose LinearB

Swarmia provides useful metrics and Jira reporting. LinearB does too. But LinearB goes much further as an end-to-end engineering productivity platform that actually improves your developer experience, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Orchestrating and Measuring AI Workflows

Swarmia helps you visualize basic engineering metrics via a dashboard UI. LinearB gives you control over 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

Swarmia automates financial reporting and project visibility. LinearB does too. These are minimum requirements for engineering intelligence platforms. Companies like IKEA, Expedia, and Adobe choose LinearB over Swarmia because our platform provides deep, quantitative and qualitative insights, the most comprehensive benchmarks (based on 3rd party frameworks used by leading companies), and the automations you need to actually solve problems for your developers.

Team Coaching, Forecasting, and Executive Support

While Swarmia is noodling away on more data visuals, 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 dashboards. Start helping your developers do more.
