Use this page to choose how your team records actual hours for Linear cycle work. A cycle is a time-boxed team work period, and its issues carry status, assignee, estimate, project, labels, and priority. The comparison here stays on the time layer: Everhour on Linear captures hours against synced Linear work, and Clockify adds a browser-extension timer on linear.app pages.
The useful record ties each hour entry to the issue, project, person, date, and billing or cost context your review needs. That record supports three questions: which cycle issues consumed time, which work missed tracking, and which rates or budgets apply after delivery. Keep effort estimates separate from actual hours; Linear estimate scales are point or size values rather than clock time.
Start with the unit of work: the Linear issue. A defensible cycle record keeps the issue identity, project, cycle, assignee, status, tags or labels, date worked, person, and actual duration together. That structure lets a manager review cycle load without turning point estimates into hours. It also gives accounting or operations the fields needed to connect delivery work with client, cost, or approval context.
Clockify's Linear extension creates its timer button from the Linear page, uses the page title as the time-entry description and task name, and derives the Clockify project name from the Linear URL path. Treat project, task, and tag creation as a workspace governance choice. Clockify's extension can select matching items or create projects, tasks, and tags when the integration and workspace permissions allow it, and Clockify notes each integration differs.
Both options rely on a browser extension for Linear. The comparison starts after that shared setup requirement. Everhour embeds timers, manual logging, estimates, reported time, and a day or week Timesheet button in Linear, then syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, milestone, and tag data into reports. Clockify's Linear extension places a timer on linear.app and pre-fills entry details from the page and URL.
Plan gates change the workflow after time is captured. Clockify's Free plan covers unlimited tracking, timer, timesheet, tracking integrations, team activity, and reports for up to five users. Billable rates start on Basic, task rates and approvals start on Standard, and budgets, labor cost, forecasting, and alerts start on Pro. Everhour's native integrations, billing, budgeting, and invoicing are on its Team plan at $8.50 per seat per month when billed yearly; its Free plan excludes integrations.
A one-off review is enough when you need to inspect a single cycle, reconcile a small set of time entries, or compare hours against issue context after the work is done. The key deliverable is a clean export or reportable record with the same cycle boundary, issues, people, dates, and duration rules used by the reviewer. This approach breaks down when corrections, approvals, or recurring budget checks become weekly work.
A managed workflow matters when cycle hours feed invoices, payroll review, budget controls, and manager approval. Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through timers or manual entries in supported project tools, including Linear, then sends those entries into timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer behavior rules to keep the record stable after submission.

Clockify supports Linear through its Chrome or Firefox browser extension. Its Linear configuration runs on linear.app pages, injects a timer button, uses the Linear page title for the time-entry description and task name, and derives the Clockify project name from the Linear URL path. That setup records time in Clockify from the Linear page context.
Cycle hours need issue identity, project, cycle, person, date, duration, status, and tags or labels. The reviewer also needs a clear distinction between actual hours and effort estimates. Linear estimates use effort or size scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt; they are not payroll or billing time units.
Keep effort points and hourly cost separate unless your team has a documented conversion policy outside Linear. Linear estimate values feed completion, effort, velocity, and prediction statistics; they do not by themselves create a billable rate, labor cost, or budget line. Cost review needs actual hours plus the rate source used for the project or person.
Clockify's Free plan covers unlimited tracking, timer, timesheet, tracking integrations, team activity, and reports for up to five users. Billable rates start on Basic, task rates and approvals start on Standard, and budgets, estimates, labor cost, profit, forecasting, and alerts start on Pro. Match the plan to the review handoff you run.
The common mistake is comparing a point-based cycle graph with a time-entry report as if both measure the same thing. Cycle graphs use issue scope, started and completed issues, target progress, success, and velocity predictions. Time reports use entries by person, date, task, project, and duration. Compare like units before judging cost, load, or delivery pace.
Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through a timer or manual entry while work stays tied to Linear issues. Those entries feed timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review, and admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules before cycle data moves downstream.
Everhour Reporting can use synced Linear workspace, project, issue, status, milestone, and tag data in reports. Managers can group or filter logged time by that context, then export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for client review, finance work, or an internal cycle archive.
Track approved cycle hours from Linear issues with Everhour Time Tracking, then use the same entries for timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review for cleaner handoffs after delivery.
