Looking for a alternative?

GitDailies is the strongest LinearB alternative for small and mid-sized GitHub teams: digests, PR and DORA metrics, and alerts from $59 a month in flat team-size bands, with bots never counted and Slack, Telegram, and email delivery on every plan. LinearB remains stronger for enterprise rollouts that want gitStream automation, investment allocation, and a certified per-seat platform; Swarmia and Jellyfish compete at that depth.

What it costs

Per-seat pricing punishes you for hiring.

LinearB, and most of the category, charge for every developer on the team. GitDailies charges a flat price for up to 15, 60 or 200 contributors, so the bill only moves when you cross a band. Move the slider to see where the two models diverge.

Where LinearB is genuinely stronger

  • SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001 certified
  • SSO/SAML via Okta, Azure AD, JumpCloud, OneLogin, any SAML provider. (GitDailies covers this indirectly: sign-in is via GitHub, so your org's SAML SSO on GitHub applies automatically.)
  • gitStream PR automation: auto-assigned reviewers, PR classification, CI orchestration
  • Developer satisfaction surveys included on both plans
  • Investment allocation and R&D cost capitalization reporting (Enterprise)
  • Public REST API (measurements, deployments, teams, incidents)
  • In-app benchmarks from 8.1M+ pull requests across 4,800+ organizations
“GitDailies is one of the most customer-obsessed vendors we work with - clear communication, killer features.”

Questions

What people ask before switching

LinearB publishes two plans, both billed annually. Essentials is $29 per user per month with a 30-billable-user minimum, so 50 developers cost $1,450 per month - $17,400 per year - on GitHub Cloud only, without Jira, Slack, or Teams integrations. Those arrive with Enterprise at $59 per user and a 50-user minimum, roughly $35,400 per year. GitDailies prices in flat bands of active contributors instead: 50 developers fit the Team plan (up to 60) at $149 per month, or $1,490 per year billed annually.

LinearB has no free tier - only a 45-day trial, after which the smallest purchase is a 30-user annual contract. GitDailies has no free plan either: Pro and Team start with a 14-day free trial, with full history backfilled from day one. After that, Pro covers up to 15 contributors at $59 per month, billed monthly with no annual commitment and no seat minimum.

No. LinearB’s security page states that it performs a shallow clone of repositories to extract Git metadata and deletes the clone once processing finishes. GitDailies never clones repositories at all and does not read or store source code - it works from pull request metadata through a GitHub App whose every permission scope is read-only. Both approaches avoid keeping your code; GitDailies simply never takes a copy in the first place.

Per-seat tools charge for every developer on the team, so the bill grows with every hire. GitDailies charges a flat price per band of team size: up to 15 active contributors on Pro ($59 a month), 60 on Team ($149) or 200 on Max ($349), with unlimited repos and pull requests on all three. A 50-person team pays $149 a month whether it has 40 or 60 contributors. An active contributor is anyone who opened or reviewed a pull request in the last 30 days; bots are never counted.

No. GitDailies never clones repositories and does not read or store source code. It works from pull request metadata - titles, reviewers, timestamps, status checks - through a GitHub App whose every permission scope is read-only. It also does not use your data to train AI models.

Yes. Deployment Rate, Lead time for changes, Time to restore service, and Change failure rate. Deployments come from a nominated GitHub Actions workflow or from external CI/CD through an incoming webhook, and incidents arrive on the same webhook, so all four charts run on your actual delivery path.
