LinearB vs. Jellyfish
Jellyfish customers switch to LinearB because they have high-level visibility, but no way to actively improve their developer productivity.
Automated financial reporting is table stakes. AI-driven workflow automation is unique to LinearB.
Trusted by the teams transforming software delivery
Why companies choose LinearB
Jellyfish 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
Jellyfish helps you visualize basic engineering metrics via a basic 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
Jellyfish 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 Jellyfish 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 Jellyfish is noodling away on more ways to measure individual developers, 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.
