Pro AI renders at $19 per seat per month with 7,500 AI credits a seat; Business AI at $29 per seat per month with 15,000 credits and capacity planning. The page carries a 'Pay annually (Save 33%)' toggle and did not label which cycle the $19 reflects, so treat it as the annual-billed rate; a free trial is offered and no free plan exists.

Overview

About Motion

Motion places tasks into open calendar slots according to deadline and priority and re-plans the day automatically when a meeting lands or a task overruns, so the schedule is maintained by the software rather than by hand. Around that core sit projects and tasks with capacity planning, meeting booking, docs and a wiki, an AI chat and writer, all metered by a monthly pool of AI credits per seat. It is sold per seat to individuals and teams, with apps for the web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, and a documented REST API for tasks, projects and comments. The operating company is Nexusbird, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Motion.

Editorial verdict

Pros & cons of Motion

medium confidence

Motion is for people whose day collapses whenever one meeting moves: hand it deadlines and priorities and it keeps re-fitting the task list into the calendar without being asked. That hands-off scheduling is the reason to pay $19 a seat, and also the reason to be wary — if you want to decide for yourself when to do things, the constant re-planning feels like being managed by your own to-do list.

Pros

  • Automatic rescheduling around calendar changes is the core and it works without prompting
  • Projects, tasks, meeting booking, docs and wiki share one per-seat subscription
  • Apps on web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, plus a documented REST API
  • Capacity planning on Business AI shows when a team is over-committed before the deadline
  • Free trial, so the scheduling behaviour can be judged before paying

Cons

  • No free plan; the price is per seat and the page is vague about monthly versus annual billing
  • AI features draw on a monthly credit pool per seat, so heavy use of chat and writer tools can run out
  • The auto-scheduler can over-rule your own choices if priorities and estimates are not kept accurate
  • Pricing page copy renders 'This plan is not available' in static HTML, which looks like a broken page to scrapers and some browsers

Best for

  • Solo professionals and small teams with deadline-driven work and a calendar full of meetings
  • Managers who want task capacity and scheduling in one tool instead of a planner plus a project board
  • Anyone who already lives in a calendar and wants tasks to show up there as time blocks

Not for

  • People who prefer to plan their own day and only want a lightweight task list
  • Teams that need a free tier or a flat, non-per-seat price

Watch out: The $19 and $29 seat prices sit beside a 'Pay annually (Save 33%)' toggle — confirm which cycle is showing before you take the headline number, because the month-to-month rate is a third higher.
