Tool profile

Motion (usemotion.com)

Motion is an AI-powered calendar and task manager that automatically schedules your to-do list into your available calendar time, reprioritizing in real time when meetings or tasks shift. It combines project management, meeting scheduling, and daily planning into one tool that decides when you do what — so you do not have to manually block time. It is genuinely useful for people who consistently have more tasks than time and keep failing to execute their own plans.

Made byMotion (Usemotion, Inc.)
Launched2019
CategoryAI Productivity / Autonomous Scheduling
Best forBusy professionals, freelancers, and small teams who are drowning in tasks and meetings and want an AI to auto-schedule their work blocks rather than doing it manually. Particularly strong for solopreneurs and managers who juggle many small tasks across multiple projects daily.
PricingSubscription only — no free plan, no one-time purchase. Individual plans start at $19/month (billed annually) or $34/month billed monthly. Team plans are higher per seat.

Models and pricing

Individual Plan (Annual)$19/month billed annually ($228/year)

Solo users who want full AI scheduling for personal tasks and calendars

The best value entry point if you are committed to trying it. Includes unlimited tasks, AI scheduling, calendar sync, and meeting assistant. Go annual only if you have tested it and know you will stick with it.

Individual Plan (Monthly)$34/month billed monthly

Solo users who want to try Motion without a long-term commitment

Expensive for a trial but there is no free tier, so this is your only low-commitment option. Motion does offer a 7-day free trial, so exhaust that before paying monthly.

Team Plan (Annual)$12/user/month billed annually (minimum 2 users, so $24/month minimum) — note: Motion has adjusted pricing over time, verify current rate on their site

Small teams that want shared project management with AI scheduling per member

Adds collaborative projects, team scheduling visibility, and manager-level project assignment. Worth it for teams already bought in, but onboarding a resistant team to an opinionated tool like this is genuinely hard.

Team Plan (Monthly)Approximately $20/user/month billed monthly — verify current pricing on their site as it has changed

Teams evaluating Motion before committing annually

Same caveat as individual monthly: use the free trial first. Team monthly billing adds up fast and the per-seat cost is significant.

Which model should you use?

Start with the 7-day free trial on the Individual plan — if Motion's aggressive auto-scheduling style clicks with how you work, go annual; if you find yourself fighting the AI instead of trusting it, save your money because no tier fixes that mismatch.
