Discover how Keypup
Outranks LinearB

Customization

Freedom of Analysis: "Don't Just Benchmark—Query"

LinearB is a "Standardizer", giving you black-box reports on how you rank against the industry.

Keypup is a "Query Engine". Treat your engineering data like a database. Build operational dashboards that track your specific process using boolean logic and granular filters. Ask: "Show me PRs labeled 'High Priority' by the 'API Team' stuck in 'Review' > 24h."

Custom SQL-like Queries
Regex Filtering
Advanced Query Builder

Integration Breadth for the "Real World"

LinearB is designed for the "Happy Path" (Jira + GitHub). If you use tools like Trello, ClickUp, or Bitbucket Data Center, you hit a wall.

Keypup embraces the hybrid stack. We normalize data from all sources—legacy and modern—unifying your marketing requests (Trello) with your core dev work (GitHub) in one view.

End-to-End Monitoring
Scalability

Pricing: The "Growth Tax" vs. The Scalable Model

LinearB charges per contributor. Hiring 10 new developers immediately hikes your bill. Keypup charges by connected repositories/projects, offering Unlimited Users. Invite your entire organization—PMs, QA, Stakeholders, C-Suite—for free. Predictable costs that don't penalize you for growing your team.

BI Capabilities

More than Metrics: True Development BI

Keypup acts as a Business Intelligence tool for engineering. Use the Data Explorer to query your development data using SQL-like filters, or use the AI Agent to ask questions in plain English. Empower data-driven leaders to analyze the "Why", not just see the "What".

The Verdict: Why Choose Keypup?

Granular Drill-Down

Every chart is clickable. Audit data instantly by drilling down to the specific PR, issue, or commit.

Easy Export

Export detailed datasets to CSV for further analysis in Excel or Tableau. Your data is yours.

Jira Custom Fields

Build reports based on your own Jira Custom Fields. LinearB is often rigid with non-standard setups.

Team Utility

"Big Brother" vs. "Team Utility"

LinearB's "WorkerB" bots can feel intrusive. Keypup is a collaboration hub designed to help teams clear their own blockers, not just report up to the VP.

Trusted by Engineering Leaders

See why modern development teams rely on Keypup to ship faster.

"Keypup allowed us to extract a lot of information from Github that would not be easily accessible otherwise. The support has been great, and the ability to get on a call and go through dashboards I've built has been very helpful in unlocking new possibilities to use the product. We now see what our engagement looks like between members and non-members, allowing us to better understand and interact with our community."

"We increased our YoY productivity by 45% and Keypup helped us identify our pain points and change the game faster. Their support is the best – they helped us understand which metrics would suit our needs, built dashboards for us, and explained them in detail to us. With Keypup I can now say that we really manage our Engineering teams."

"I was genuinely impressed with Keypup, not only because of the ease and speed of integration with our tools but also because it provided immediate access to DORA and other key customizable metrics. The standout was the customer support — they swiftly provided a personalized dashboard that enabled me to comprehend and compute real-time metrics with remarkable ease."

"Keypup is a highly useful and practical platform, boasting user-friendly features and lightning-fast report generation.

The service provided by customer support was excellent, showcasing their dedication to customer satisfaction. We are delighted to be part of the Keypup community."

Frequently asked questions

How does the Free Trial work?

The Free Trial is designed to show you the full potential of the Keypup platform. It lasts for 14 days from sign-up, no credit card is required and there is no obligation to take a subscription plan at the end.

During the Free Trial, you benefit from all features of the platform, you can add as many users as you need and connect as many projects/repos to the platform.

At the end of your trial, in case you do not choose a subscription, your account remains valid and active and your projects are disconnected, so you are not billed for the service. Billing starts when projects are re-connected and a valid mean of payment is added to the account.

Do you access, copy or store our code?

No we don't.

Keypup uses your OAuth token to access metadata such as pull requests, issues, labels, comments etc. but never accesses your codebase via git/https/api checkouts.

Our engine does not require access to your code to evaluate the prioritization of tasks. Metadata provided by GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket - potentially coupled with project management information from JIRA, Trello, ClickUp etc.. - provide more than enough context for us to provide all our insights.

Be assured that if we ever needed to access your code in the future in order to deliver a new feature we would make it an opt-in feature, the same way GitHub does for security analysis features.

Is it secure to connect my development stack to Keypup?

Keypup is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.

We do not fetch, copy, duplicate, modify or store any parts of your source code. Keypup only accesses metadata such as pull requests, issues, milestones, etc.

Our products support single sign on (SSO) via integrated applications for authentication.

We understand that security is critical, and we follow best practices & strict procedures to keep our systems - and your data - safe. We perform regular penetration testing and audits of Keypup and its infrastructure.

What about support?

Keypup provides two levels of support: the technical support and the product expert support.

Technical Support

Provided free of charge to all trial users and customers. This support is available via the in-platform chat or by contact email and handles all requests related to your account administration (e.g. access question, billing matters, users management), your subscription management (e.g. connecting/disconnecting apps and projects/repos), and any technical matters related to the use of the platform.

Product Expert Support (optional - provided during the Free Trial)

This support is optional and provided for free during the platform free trial and on an additional subscription basis thereafter. The subscription can be cancelled any time. This support handles all requests related to the creation and building of insights and/or dashboards specific to your needs by your Product Expert.

Can I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription at any time you wish - by downgrading your subscription OR by terminating your account – we believe you stay with us because of the benefits you draw from Keypup, not because of a contractual obligation.

Cancellation will take effect immediately.

What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription or delete my account?

Keypup is compliant with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

If you do not select a paid subscription at the end of your trial, the data you have on the Keypup platform remain yours and is not deleted. This is to facilitate selecting a subscription plan at a later stage. 

When you terminate/delete your account (unenroll), your data is automatically deleted from the Keypup platform. It is impossible to retrieve it afterwards.
