Who Motion is best for
Teams replacing several tools
Pro AI bundles AI chat, projects and tasks, calendar and meetings, docs and notes, and an AI writer, so one subscription can stand in for a task app and a scheduler.
People who want tasks placed for them
The AI Task Planner puts tasks on the calendar, which saves manual blocking for users who accept the planner's choices and re-plan when meetings move.
Managers who track capacity
Business AI adds team capacity planning, timeline and Gantt charts, time tracking, dashboards, permissions and central billing for teams that need workload visibility.

What Motion does
- AI Task Planner
- Tasks are scheduled onto the calendar automatically, which is the main reason to pick Motion over a plain list, as long as the plan's choices suit how you work.
- AI calendar and meetings
- The pricing page lists AI calendar and meeting features on Pro AI, covering scheduling around existing events for people who spend much of the day in meetings.
- AI projects and tasks
- Projects and tasks sit in the same workspace as the calendar, so a deadline moves the plan rather than living only in a list that nobody checks.
- Capacity planning
- Business AI shows how much work each person can take, with dashboards and timeline views for managers who assign work across a team and need to spot overload.
- Credit allowance
- Each seat receives a monthly credit allowance for AI use, so heavy users on Pro AI can reach the cap sooner than light users and may need the higher tier.
How Motion handles your data
The privacy policy lists training and developing machine-learning algorithms among the purposes for which personal information is used, and does not separately state whether customer content trains models. Personal information is kept for the account duration and up to one year after deletion. The terms say the service is controlled and operated from facilities in the United States. The privacy policy cites a SOC 2 Type II audit by Prescient Assurance, and the security page says practices meet SOC 2 standards.
Where Motion falls short in practice
- Credits cap AI use. Pro AI gives 7,500 credits per seat per month and Business AI 15,000, so a team that leans on AI chat and planning may hit the cap.
- Two plans, no free tier. Only Pro AI and Business AI appear, and the pricing page shows a free trial rather than a free plan, so a casual user pays from the start.
- Training language is broad. The policy lists machine-learning development among purposes for personal information, and customer content is not addressed separately, so ask whether your task text is excluded.

Alternatives to Motion
Motion: common questions
How much does Motion cost per seat?
Pro AI is $19 per seat per month and Business AI is $29 per seat per month. The pricing page labels annual billing as a 33 percent saving and offers a free trial. Credits are capped per seat each month on both plans.
How many AI credits does Motion give?
The pricing page lists 7,500 credits per seat per month on Pro AI and 15,000 on Business AI. It does not list a per-action cost in the text we read, so measure usage during the trial before committing a team.
Is Motion SOC 2 compliant?
The privacy policy cites a SOC 2 Type II audit by Prescient Assurance, and the security page says practices meet SOC 2 standards. Ask for the report itself during a vendor review, since the pages describe it rather than provide it.
What does Business AI add over Pro AI?
Business AI adds team capacity planning, advanced dashboards and reports, timeline and Gantt charts, time tracking, permissions and access control, and central billing. It also doubles the monthly credit allowance per seat, from 7,500 to 15,000 credits. Teams that do not need those views can stay on Pro AI.
Does Motion train on my data?
The privacy policy lists training and developing machine-learning algorithms among the purposes for personal information. It does not state separately whether customer content is used for that. Ask the vendor for a written answer if your tasks contain client details.
