Comparison

All Do vs Linear and Monday for small design teams.

All Do answers the one question neither Linear nor Monday is built to answer for a team of two to ten: who is overloaded, who is free, and what actually ships by the date you promised — on one timeline, with time off in the math, free. Linear is a superb issue tracker with no capacity view at all; Monday has one, but parks it behind its Pro tier and a 3-seat minimum. Here's the honest comparison, including the cases where you should keep the tool you have.

Two different questions

Most tool comparisons pretend everything competes with everything. These three don't. A tracker answers "what is the state of the work?" — which issue is active, what's in review, what shipped. A capacity board answers "what is the state of the people?" — who has room this week, whose deadline just broke because of a vacation, what slips if Tuesday's priority flip sticks.

Small design and product teams usually have the first question covered and the second living in the lead's head. That second question is the entire reason All Do exists — and it's where Linear has nothing and Monday charges most.

Linear: the best tracker, and that's the point

Linear has earned its reputation: fast, keyboard-driven, opinionated issue tracking that engineering teams genuinely enjoy. If your team runs cycles and triage, keep it. All Do doesn't track issues and isn't trying to.

What matters for this comparison is what's not there. As of June 2026, Linear's features page covers planning, issue tracking, cycles, analytics, and AI tooling — and lists nothing for per-person workload, capacity, resource allocation, or time off. The vocabulary is issues, cycles, backlog → active → done; people appear as assignees, not as calendars. Reviewers also tend to note the workflow reads engineering-first — design, marketing, and ops teams often find the model built for someone else's work.

The free tier is generous but work-item-shaped: unlimited members, capped at 250 non-archived issues and 2 teams (as of June 2026). Paid starts at $10 per user per month billed annually.
The honest setup is both, not either: issues in Linear, the people-and-time picture on an All Do board above it. Tasks carry links, so a bar can point straight at the Linear project it stands for.

Monday: the capacity view is there — behind the Pro gate

Monday.com is a general-purpose work OS, and a genuinely flexible one: boards, automations, forms, dashboards, several products on one platform. It also actually has a Workload view — per-person load with capacity bounds. The question is what it takes to reach it.

The free tier doesn't plan: 2 seats, 3 boards, and no timeline view (as of June 2026).
Every paid plan has a 3-seat minimum. Basic is $9 per seat per month billed annually — but Basic has no timeline either. Timeline arrives at Standard ($12).
Workload arrives at Pro — $19 per seat per month, per Monday's own support docs. With the 3-seat minimum, the per-person capacity picture starts around $57 a month even for a duo, and the deeper resource tools sit in Enterprise.

None of that is unfair — Monday is priced for the breadth it offers. But a small design team buying it for the workload view is paying for a work OS to get one screen. That trade is a recurring complaint among small teams, including in Monday's own community forum: the headline price and the price of the plan you actually need are different numbers.

What All Do does instead

All Do is one shared board where the capacity picture is the product, not a tier:

One timeline, one row per person. Tasks are bars with honest lengths; today is a line; status is a small shape on the bar.
Capacity in plain language. Per-person verdicts ("32% load · free Jun 24," "fully booked"), a team-level rollup, and per-week hot spots — no report builder, no widget setup.
Time off that reshapes the plan. PTO is drawn on the same timeline; any task crossing it splits and lands later, visibly, the moment it's booked.
Replanning is a drag. Move a bar to another day or person; the end date recomputes around weekends, holidays, and that person's time off; teammates see it live; Cmd+Z undoes it.
A deadline you can see. The cutoff line marks the promised date; work past it dims and counts its overflow plainly.
Honest ways out. A read-only link with names reduced to initials, a clean dated PDF, CSV in and out.
Free — the full product, no card, no seat minimums. Sign in with Google; nothing to install; works as a PWA.

Open All Do

When you should NOT switch

Issue tracking is the job. Linear is best-in-class at exactly that; All Do sits above a tracker, it doesn't replace one.
You're invested in Monday as a work OS. If automations, CRM, and cross-department dashboards already earn their seats, adding one more view there beats adding one more tool here.
You're past ten people. One swimlane per person is the clearest picture a small team can have, and it stops being clear at scale — then you want dedicated resource management.
Your current picture is trusted and current. The win is one true view of people and time; if you have that, switching buys nothing.

Trying it costs an afternoon

Open alldo.app, sign in with Google, and you land in a sample board. Add teammates, import this quarter's plan from CSV (a column-mapping step matches your export's fields), mark known time off, and read the verdicts. If the board doesn't earn its place by Friday's review, export to CSV or JSON and walk away — nothing is held hostage.

Frequently asked questions

Is All Do a replacement for Linear?

No. Linear is an issue tracker — arguably the best one — and All Do doesn't track issues. They answer different questions: Linear knows the state of the work (backlog, active, done, cycles); All Do knows the state of the people (who is loaded, who is free, what lands by the date you promised, with time off baked into the math). Plenty of teams run both: issues live in Linear, the people-and-time picture lives on the All Do board above it.

Does Linear have capacity or workload planning?

As of June 2026, no. Linear's own features page lists planning, issue tracking, cycles, analytics, and AI tooling — and nothing for per-person workload, capacity, resource allocation, or time off. That's not a gap in Linear so much as a different job: it models work items, not people's calendars. If your daily question is "can Maya take this without working the weekend," you need a tool that models working days and PTO.

Monday has a Workload view — why not just use that?

Because of where it sits. As of June 2026, Monday's Workload view is available from the Pro plan up — $19 per seat per month billed annually, with a 3-seat minimum on every paid plan. So the per-person capacity picture starts at roughly $57 a month even for a two-person team, on top of learning a general-purpose work OS. In All Do the capacity picture IS the product: per-person load verdicts, a team rollup, and PTO-aware deadlines — free.

Is All Do free?

Yes — free: the full product, no card, no seat counting. Paid plans will come for teams that need more, and the free tier for small teams is intended to stay. For comparison, as of June 2026 Linear's free tier caps at 250 non-archived issues and Monday's free tier caps at 2 seats and 3 boards, with no timeline view.

Can I move my plan into All Do?

Yes. All Do imports tasks from a CSV file with a column-mapping step, so an export from Monday, a spreadsheet, or any tracker drops onto the timeline without retyping. Boards also export back to CSV and JSON at any time, so the plan is never locked in.

When should a team stay on Linear or Monday?

Keep Linear if issue tracking is the job — engineering teams with cycles, triage, and a real backlog are exactly who it's for, and All Do happily sits above it rather than replacing it. Keep Monday if you're already invested in it as a work OS — automations, CRM, forms, dashboards across departments — and the seat math works for you. And past roughly ten people, All Do's one-swimlane-per-person view stops being the clearest picture; at that size you want dedicated resource management.
