Considering LinearB? See how DevPerform compares
LinearB is a solid, established engineering-metrics platform. Here’s what DevPerform does, and where our approach is different, so you can decide what fits your team.
Metrics and surveys, in one loop
Delivery metrics tell you what is slow: cycle time, review turnaround, deployment frequency. They rarely tell you why. DevPerform pairs the metrics with lightweight developer surveys (DX Core 4, eNPS, full engagement) in the same product, so when a number moves you can ask the team about it, and see both answers side by side. Then close the loop for real: mark survey dimensions as focus areas the whole team can see, set a goal on them, and the next wave shows the follow-through. Metrics-first tools like LinearB start from the data; we close the loop with the people behind it.
- DORA + delivery metrics from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, with no agents and no CI changes
- Developer surveys delivered by email or Slack, aggregated with an anonymity threshold and rolled into a composite Experience Index (0–100) you can trend wave over wave, on every tier including Free
- One dashboard where the “what” (metrics) and the “why” (survey sentiment) live together
- Everything ships on two public tiers (Slack digests, opt-in personal PR/CI notifications, goals, investment views with custom categorization rules, cost caps) with no enterprise gate, no seat minimums, and no annual-only contracts
Try it before you talk to anyone
Evaluating platforms in this space typically means a sales conversation with demos, quotes, and calls, especially for the higher tiers. DevPerform is self-serve end to end: an instant interactive demo with no signup, a free public benchmark for any repo, public pricing, and a 14-day free Pro trial. You can go from curious to looking at your own team’s data in minutes, without ever booking a call. Even the benchmark data itself is open: where industry benchmark reports are typically annual and gated behind a form, the Open Benchmark publishes live delivery percentiles from 200 open-source repositories, refreshed daily and free to cite.
Data your team won’t game
Engineering metrics are only useful if the underlying behavior stays honest, the moment people feel personally scored, they game the numbers and stop answering surveys candidly. So DevPerform aggregates at the team level, keeps survey results behind an anonymity threshold, and frames individual signals protectively (burnout and overload alerts). AI adoption and impact follow the same rule. The payoff is data your engineers trust enough to be honest in, which means numbers you can actually stand behind in a retro or an exec review.
Transparent pricing, self-serve start
Free for up to 5 team-assigned engineers. Growth at $25 and Pro at $45 per team-assigned engineer per month, and every new account starts with a 14-day free Pro trial. No credit card, no sales call required.
