Motion app pricing, explained

Every plan, the annual discount, the AI credit meter, and the costs that aren't on the pricing page.

The two plans

Motion keeps it simple: two paid tiers, both billed per seat. There’s no free plan.

• Pro AI: $19 per seat per month. AI calendar and meetings, AI tasks and projects, AI docs and notes, AI chat and writer, unlimited storage, the iOS, Android, and desktop apps, integrations, and 7,500 AI credits per seat each month.
• Business AI: $29 per seat per month. Everything in Pro, plus team capacity planning, Gantt and timeline charts, time tracking, advanced dashboards, permissions and access control, central billing, priority support, and 15,000 AI credits per seat.

Pro AI is the one most individuals land on. Business AI is really about coordinating a team.

The annual discount

Paying for the year up front saves roughly 33%. That brings Pro AI down to about $12.73 per seat per month, and Business AI to about $19.43.

It’s a real saving, but it’s a year of commitment to a tool with a learning curve. Given there’s no free plan, you’re committing before you’ve fully lived with it. Most people start monthly and switch to annual once they’re sure.

The costs that aren’t a sticker price

A few things shape the real cost beyond the per-seat number:

• No free tier. Just a 7-day trial, and it requires your card up front. If you forget to cancel, you get billed. Several reviewers mention exactly this.
• AI credits. Pro gives 7,500 a month, Business 15,000. Heavy use of the chat and AI writer can run those down, and extra credits cost more on top (priced per 100). Most people won’t hit it, but power users should know the meter exists.
• Per seat. The price is per person, so a small team multiplies fast. Five seats on Pro is $95 a month before any annual discount.

Is the price fair?

For what Motion includes, yes, the pricing is reasonable. It’s positioned as a replacement for several separate subscriptions (task app, project tool, booking link, notetaker), and if you’d otherwise pay for all of those, one bill at $19 a seat can come out ahead.

The catch is that the value is concentrated in the bundle. If you only use the calendar and auto-scheduling, you’re paying full price for the parts you skip. That’s not Motion being greedy, it just isn’t priced for the solo, calendar-only use case.

A cheaper option if you only want the scheduling

If the main thing you want is auto-scheduling, tasks dropped into the open gaps around your meetings, you don’t need the whole suite to get it.

ClaroCal does that one job. It connects to Google Calendar with two-way sync, turns your task list into a realistic daily plan, and opens to a today view. The free plan syncs hourly. Basic is $7.99 a month, or $59.88 a year (about $5 a month), with 15-minute sync and a 14-day trial on paid. No per-seat math, because it’s built for one person.

It deliberately leaves out project management, so it isn’t a Motion replacement for teams. For the head-to-head, see ClaroCal vs Motion, or check whether Motion is right for you at all in is Motion worth it.
