Motion
Paid Last verified: September 2026AI calendar and task scheduler that automatically plans your day around priorities and deadlines
What is Motion?
Motion is an AI calendar, task manager, and project planner built around a single idea: instead of you manually scheduling every task and meeting, Motion's AI looks at your to-do list, deadlines, priorities, and existing calendar, then automatically builds your day for you. Tasks get time-blocked around meetings, unfinished items roll forward intelligently, and the calendar re-plans itself whenever something changes. It competes with Reclaim AI and ClickUp in the AI productivity space, but differentiates by combining calendar, task management, and project planning into one tightly integrated app rather than bolt-on AI on top of a traditional tool. Core features include AI auto-scheduling, project and task management with dependencies, team collaboration and load balancing, meeting scheduler with booking links, integrations with Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack, and Zoom, and cross-device sync between web, desktop, and mobile. Motion is priced higher than most consumer apps, its entry Pro AI plan is $29/month for a solo user on annual billing and $19 per seat per month for teams on annual billing, because the value prop is saving 2+ hours per day, not competing on cheapest calendar. For founders, executives, consultants, and anyone juggling more tasks than time, Motion is one of the few AI tools that measurably changes daily workflow.

Pricing
Motion renamed and restructured its plans in 2026. The old Individual, Team and Enterprise tiers are gone, replaced by Pro AI and Business AI, each priced separately for solo users and for teams.
Pro AI, $19/seat/month billed annually or $29/seat/month billed monthly for teams; $29/month billed annually or $49/month billed monthly for a solo user: AI chat, AI projects and tasks, AI calendar and meetings, AI docs, wiki and notes, AI task planner, AI writer and editor, unlimited storage, iOS, Android and desktop apps, integrations, and 7,500 credits per seat per month.
Business AI, $29/seat/month billed annually or $49/seat/month billed monthly for teams; $39/month billed annually or $69/month billed monthly for a solo user: Everything in Pro AI plus team capacity planning, advanced dashboards and reports, timeline and Gantt charts, time tracking, permissions and access control, central billing, priority support, and 15,000 credits per seat per month.
Annual billing saves 33% against monthly. Usage beyond the monthly credit allowance is billed as an overage, quoted at 25 cents per 100 credits on Pro AI and 19 cents per 100 credits on Business AI at team annual rates. There is still no free plan, and Motion's public pricing page listed no separate Enterprise tier when we checked on 2 August 2026.

FAQ
Is Motion worth the $29/month Pro AI plan?
If you're an executive, founder, or consultant juggling dozens of tasks and meetings each week, yes. Motion's AI auto-scheduling typically saves 1-3 hours per week of manual calendar management. A solo user pays $29/month for Pro AI on annual billing, or $49/month billed monthly, so the plan pays for itself if it saves you a couple of hours. Teams pay less per person, $19/seat/month on annual billing. For casual users with a light task load, the value is harder to justify, try the 7-day free trial first.
How does Motion's AI scheduling work?
You add tasks with deadlines, priorities, and time estimates. Motion's AI places each task into an available slot on your calendar, respecting your meetings, work hours, and priority settings. When a task takes longer than planned, a meeting runs over, or a new urgent item drops in, Motion automatically re-plans the rest of your day and week. It's like having an executive assistant who guards your calendar.
Motion vs Reclaim AI, which is better?
Reclaim AI focuses on blocking time for recurring habits and defending focus time in an existing calendar. Motion is a fuller replacement, it combines calendar, task management, and project planning in one app with auto-scheduling built in. Pick Reclaim if you're happy with your task manager and just want calendar defense. Pick Motion if you want a single integrated productivity app.
Does Motion work with Google Calendar and Outlook?
Yes. Motion syncs bidirectionally with both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, so meetings scheduled in either appear in Motion and Motion's time blocks appear on your external calendar. Your existing calendar remains the source of truth for meetings, Motion layers AI task blocks on top.
Is there a Motion free plan?
No. Motion offers a 7-day free trial so you can experience auto-scheduling with your real tasks and calendar. There is no permanent free tier. The paid-only model keeps Motion focused on a smaller base of power users who extract real value rather than casual free users who rarely engage.
Can Motion schedule team projects?
Yes. Motion's project management includes task assignment, dependencies, workload balancing across teammates, shared views, and templates. Team capacity planning, timeline and Gantt charts, time tracking, and permissions and access control sit on the Business AI plan rather than Pro AI. It's not as deep as dedicated PM tools like Asana or Monday for complex enterprise projects but is excellent for small teams that want scheduling and task management unified.
Does Motion have a mobile app?
Yes. Motion has native iOS and Android apps for managing tasks, checking your AI-planned day, and handling quick reschedules on the go. The web and desktop experiences remain the primary place for deeper planning and project management, with mobile optimized for in-the-moment task updates.
Is Motion secure for business data?
Motion is SOC 2 Type II certified and complies with GDPR. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and enterprise customers can negotiate SSO and custom security reviews. For most SMB use cases, Motion's default security posture is sufficient, for regulated industries, ask for the Enterprise tier security packet.
📋 Good to know
Sign up at usemotion.com, connect Google Calendar or Outlook, add your top tasks with deadlines, and Motion starts auto-planning immediately.
SOC 2 Type II certified. GDPR compliant. Data encrypted at rest and in transit. Enterprise supports SSO.
Pro AI covers most people, $29/mo solo or $19/seat/mo for teams on annual billing. Move to Business AI ($39/mo solo, $29/seat/mo teams) for capacity planning, Gantt charts, time tracking, and a bigger credit allowance.
Moderate. The AI needs a week or two of real tasks to feel trustworthy; once it earns your trust, it's very sticky.
