Plan | Current price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
Pro AI monthly | $29 per seat per month | Individuals testing Motion without a yearly commitment |
Pro AI yearly | $19 per seat per month, billed yearly | The lowest Motion Pro rate |
Business AI monthly | $49 per seat per month | Teams needing flexible billing |
Business AI yearly | $29 per seat per month, billed yearly | Teams using higher AI limits and administration |
Motion describes Pro AI as including 7,500 AI credits and Business AI as including 15,000. Pricing is per seat, so the team total is the displayed rate multiplied by paid users.
Does Motion have a free plan?
No. Motion has no permanent free tier. Its 7-day trial requires a payment card and converts to a paid subscription unless canceled before the renewal time shown during signup.
Is Motion worth the price?
Motion can be worth a premium when automatic rescheduling removes daily planning work you would otherwise repeat by hand. It feels much more expensive when you want a normal calendar and task manager but do not trust an algorithm to reshape the day.
Motion is probably worth it if…
You want tasks automatically scheduled and reshuffled around deadlines
You manage enough meetings, projects, and priorities to benefit from constant replanning
The time saved is worth more than the annual subscription
Motion may not be worth it if…
You prefer to choose your own daily sequence and time blocks
You need a free tier or dislike card-required trials
The AI schedule creates more correction work than it removes
Automatic scheduling can feel magical. The price raises expectations.
The strongest reviews describe AI time blocking as a genuine behavior change. The harshest reviews focus on price, mobile limitations, and the feeling that a premium subscription should be more complete.

Alternatives if Motion is not the right fit
Start with how much automation you actually want.
Your real need | Try | Why it may fit better |
|---|---|---|
A visual day you control | Manual, clear planning beside the calendar at a lower price | |
A guided planning ritual | Deliberate daily planning without constant auto-rescheduling | |
A work-app command center | Keyboard-first capture and integrations |
Ellie is our product. It is the better fit when you want to see and shape the day yourself. Motion is the stronger choice when the reason you are paying is to let an AI scheduler continuously rebuild the plan.

Trial and billing details to check
Card-required trial
Motion’s 7-day trial requires a payment method. It automatically converts to the selected subscription unless canceled before the displayed renewal date.
Annual commitment
The advertised $19 Pro rate is a monthly equivalent on annual billing, not a month-to-month price. Confirm the total charged upfront.
Discount availability
Motion does not currently publish a broad student discount on its main pricing page. Treat coupon sites and old promotional rates as unverified until checkout accepts them.
