With multiple pricing tiers and various feature sets, teams can select the plan that best aligns with their budget and requirements. ### Starting price All plans are billed per seat, the total cost of each plan will depend on team size. Motion also offers significant discounts for teams with three or more users. Pro AI is the entry-level plan that starts at $49 per seat, per month, but costs $29 per seat, per month for three or more users, when billed monthly. If you opt for annual billing, the effective cost comes to $29 per seat, per month or $19 per seat, per month for three or more users. The next tier, Business AI, is priced at $69 per seat, per month or $49 per seat, per month for three or more users when paying month-to-month. Annual pricing for Business AI is lower, around $49 per seat, per month for a single user or $29 per user, per month in case of three users or more. Since the top-tier Enterprise plan is a customizable package, you should contact the Motion sales team to discuss requirements and pricing. Motion doesn’t offer a free forever plan but it provides a free seven-day trial for new users. This period can help users explore and experience the full range of advanced features and capabilities of Motion without any financial commitment, helping you make an informed decision about upgrading. ### Billing options You can choose between monthly and annual billing cycles. The annual billing option saves up to 40% on the total cost compared to paying monthly, making it a smart choice for teams looking to use the platform long-term. On the other hand, a monthly billing plan might be a better choice for those who don’t want to commit. Additionally, you can leverage team size discounts that automatically apply when you add three or more users. Using this, the cost of Pro AI, for example, drops from $29 to $19 per seat, per month, when billed annually.  For maximum savings, you can combine both annual billing and team size discounts.  ### Feature differentiation The Pro AI, Business AI, and Enterprise plans allow unlimited AI usage and storage, making them suitable for complex projects that need reliability. However, each plan offers different levels of functionality in certain areas: - **Reporting and analytics:** Pro AI provides only basic task and project tracking to manage personal workflows. The Business AI plan enhances this with advanced dashboards, productivity charts, and custom reports, while the Enterprise plan offers comprehensive analytics along with extensive data backup capabilities, preserving your historical data for long-term analysis.  - **Collaboration:** The Pro AI plan focuses more on individual productivity, while the Business AI plan adds team capacity planning, time tracking, and central billing features that make it better suited for team environments. The Enterprise plan offers the most advanced collaboration features, including role-based access control and the ability to share with external parties. - **Workflow automation:** The Pro AI plan automatically detects and prioritizes your most important tasks and helps you automate meeting scheduling. The Business AI plan adds team-wide workflow automation with project templates, automatic scheduling and distribution of tasks among team members, and permission controls for cross-functional collaboration. Lastly, the Enterprise plan provides more flexibility and scalability through deeper integrations with API and third-party solutions such as Zapier. - **Customer support options:** While all plans include a self-serve knowledge base, email support, and direct chat support, the tiers offer progressively better service levels. The Pro AI plan provides priority support with faster response times and the Business AI plan offers enhanced business support with quicker service level agreements (SLA). The Enterprise plan delivers the highest support tier with ongoing assistance from a dedicated project management expert along with engineering support for implementation guidance.  - **Security:** The Pro AI and Business AI plans rely on standard cloud security, while the Enterprise plan offers enhanced security with single sign-on (SSO), audit logs, and compliance reports, making it ideal for organizations with strict security requirements. ## What users say about Motion pricing Our team analyzed 80+ reviews from verified users of Motion on our website to understand their views about the software’s pricing.  User feedback on Motion's pricing reveals mixed sentiment. Many users appreciate its AI features and their deep integration into workflows and tend to feel they get good value for the price. However, a few users feel the free trial of seven days is too short for adequate testing and that it converts into the paid plan quite quickly if not canceled. Overall, our analysis shows that its value for users is closely tied to the usage. Teams that take advantage of its rich-feature sets get good value despite the higher price point. Here are some user review excerpts about Motion pricing[\[1\]](#footnotes): Anthony C.University InternElectrical/Electronic Manufacturing6-12 months While the software offers a wide range of features and tools, the cost of a subscription may be prohibitive for those on a tight budget.

This plan is ideal for growing teams with multiple members who want one integrated tool to coordinate their work, visualize projects, and track time. Managers also get oversight on everyone’s tasks and can run reports on productivity.

Besides all the features included in the Pro AI and Business AI plan, this high-end plan by Motion offers additional capabilities for enterprise environments, including top-tier customer support, customization, and compliance. The Enterprise plan allows you to set multi-level access controls, deep integrations with the local tech ecosystem, and offers tailored onboarding and engineering support. As a part of its security and privacy features, this plan provides access to SOC 2 compliant systems, security reports, single sign-on capabilities, and IT and security questionnaires.  **Enterprise plan features**[\[2\]](#footnotes): - **Enterprise-scale integrations and API:** Connect Motion with your enterprise systems using advanced integration capabilities and API access. - **Data backup:** Ensure your data is protected with comprehensive regular data backups.  - **Role based access control (RBAC):** Fine-tune who can see and do what in Motion by refining access controls based on user roles and responsibilities. - **Share with external parties:** Securely collaborate with clients, vendors, and partners outside your organization. - **Security:** Meet compliance requirements with SOC 2 certification and detailed security reporting. - **Complete IT and security questionnaires:** Access pre-completed security or IT questionnaires, often needed in large companies, to streamline your procurement process. - **Single sign-on:** Implement single sign-on (SSO) for easy and secure authentication integration with your existing identity systems. - **Premium support:** Access specialized technical support from Motion's engineering team and ongoing guidance from a dedicated project management expert. _Create personalized links for external or internal meeting scheduling in Motion (_[_Source_](https://www.capterra.com/p/214264/Motion/)_)_ ## Total cost of ownership When evaluating Motion for your productivity and scheduling needs, it’s important to consider the total cost of ownership (TCO), including the upfront subscription costs and any additional one-off or recurring costs that come with implementing the software. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand all potential expenses: ### Upfront costs Motion has no upfront licensing or setup fee. You can sign up for a free trial or your preferred plan directly on their website without any implementation charge. Once you decide to subscribe, your primary upfront cost is the subscription payment (monthly or annual). Moreover, since Motion is a cloud-based SaaS product, you don’t need to install dedicated hardware or pay for on-premise deployment.  ### Additional costs to consider  Data migration, custom setup, and automatic transition from free trial to paid plan are some other less obvious ownership costs to watch out for. While they’re relatively low and one-time, it’s important to include them in your budget.  If you’re coming from another project management, scheduling, or calendar management tool, you might spend some time migrating tasks and events. Motion doesn’t charge for migrating data, it provides help guides to import calendars or CSV files of tasks. In addition to that, you may want to do some configuration, such as setting up your task lists, integrating your calendar, etc., but these don’t have external costs aside from staff time. One cost to keep in mind is if you forget to cancel during the trial, you’ll get automatically charged for the first month or year, which could be an unintentional expense. Mark the trial end date on your calendar to avoid that. #### Services needed to implement or manage the platform Motion’s interface is relatively user-friendly but has a learning curve because of its AI features and the way it combines calendars and task lists. Factor in some employee time to go through tutorials, set up their Motion accounts, and learn the system.  Motion also offers a knowledge base, tutorials, and weekly webinars for paid customers to help learn the ropes. Many users report that Motion’s introduction videos and guides are helpful in navigating the app, and also find that after the initial learning phase, Motion becomes second nature.  Moreover, if you are on Enterprise, a lot of onboarding help is included via the dedicated success manager.  #### Internal resources needed for ongoing platform management Over and above the software itself, to make sure users utilize the system to its full potential, here are some resources you may dedicate for it internally:  - **Platform admin:** If you’re a large organization, you might assign someone to spend some time every month or quarter to manage user accounts (adding or removing users as employees join or leave). This may be an IT person or admin head. You may also designate permission management tasks to an IT person or respective team heads. Other than that, the platform shouldn’t require a dedicated team for ongoing maintenance. - **Internal support:** You should gauge if your team will need internal support—perhaps a power user who can answer coworkers’ questions in the first few weeks. After that, Motion’s usage will require little ongoing admin support.  In a nutshell, the total cost of owning Motion primarily boils down to the subscription fees. There are minimal additional monetary costs for installation, maintenance, or integration in most cases. In fact, Motion can potentially replace multiple tools you use, such as a calendar app, a to-do list, and a scheduling assistant, consolidating your data into one platform and saving you time and cost.  ## How to choose the right Motion pricing plan Here are some considerations you should keep in mind when choosing the best Motion pricing plan for your business: _Key considerations while choosing the right Motion plan_ - **Assess your productivity needs:** Make a list of features that matter most for your productivity and scheduling needs and see which of Motion’s plan covers them. Do you primarily need help with task management and scheduling, or do you require team-oriented capabilities such as permission control? Do you need SSO login and stricter data protection (in case you’re in the healthcare industry requiring HIPAA compliance)? Ninety-five percent of software reviewers on our website say planning and managing employee work hours is the most important feature of scheduling software. Ninety percent also consider real-time scheduling features (the ability to dynamically adjust task schedules or resources) as critical.[\[3\]](#footnotes) And through our conversations with buyers seeking project management software, we learned that project collaboration, scheduling, and time tracking are the top three requirements.[\[4\]](#footnotes) By pinpointing which features are must-haves versus nice-to-haves, you can avoid paying for a higher tier if you don’t need its extras.  - **Evaluate your team size:** While Motion’s Pro AI versus Business AI versus Enterprise aren’t a hard split by number of users (all allow multiple users), the nature of collaboration is the differentiator. If you’re a solo user or a very small team, the Pro AI plan will suffice. However, if you’ve a team larger than three or have any kind of team structure including managers and team members, consider a Business AI plan. If you’ve more than 15 users, you may want to contact Motion’s sales team for a custom price and a recommendation on the best plan for you. A good rule of thumb is if you need to view and manage each other’s tasks or generate reports across the team, go for Business AI. You may choose Enterprise if you’re a large organization with hundreds of users.   - **Consider your budget:** Given the AI-powered features and ability to combine multiple project management needs (scheduling, collaboration, and time tracking), Motion is relatively on the expensive side. So, it’s important to justify the cost of it to stakeholders in terms of value. Think about its return on investment (ROI). If using Motion will save each team member a couple of hours each week of coordinating schedules and tasks, that time savings will directly translate to dollars. Similarly, if its AI-insights can keep your projects from being disorganized or delayed in a way that could cost your business money, it may pay for itself. Also, think about the resources you’d invest in if you didn’t use Motion and compare that to Motion’s subscription cost. Finally, if the budget is tight, remember you can start with a free trial or with Pro AI (or even a single Pro AI user subscription) to see the impact. Based on our advisors’ interactions with project management software buyers in the last year, we observed that the average budget they keep for project management solutions is **$42 per user, per month.**[\[4\]](#footnotes) ## How to maximize the value of your Motion subscription Maximizing the value of your Motion subscription involves a combination of feature utilization, team education, and strategic planning. Here are a few practical ways to get the most out of the platform: _Ways to maximize the value of your Motion subscription_ **Utilize all AI features:**  - **Train the AI with your preferences:** Use Motion more and more for work management, so it better understands your work patterns and preferences, leading to more accurate task scheduling and suggestions.  - **Use the AI task planner daily:** Let the AI prioritize and schedule your tasks automatically, freeing your mental bandwidth for deep work rather than administrative decisions. - **Leverage AI for meeting notes:** Use the AI meeting notetaker for all your meetings to ensure comprehensive capture of discussions, decisions, and action items without manual effort.  - **Utilize the AI docs assistant:** Speed up email communications, documentation, and routine writing tasks by letting the AI assist with your drafting, editing, and proofreading. - **Create automated workflows:** Use the AI workflow generator to create customized processes for recurring project types, saving time on repetitive planning.  **Optimize your workflow:**  - **Import all your tasks:** Bring everything you need to do into Motion rather than keeping tasks in multiple systems to allow the AI to have a complete picture of your workload.  - **Connect your calendar:** Integrate all your calendars to give Motion visibility into your full schedule, enabling more effective task planning around your commitments.  - **Use the mobile app:** Take advantage of Motion mobile app to stay productive on the go, checking off tasks, and reviewing your schedule from anywhere.  - **Implement team onboarding:** Conduct biweekly or monthly post-onboarding checks to ensure all team members understand how to use the software and help them brush up their concepts with a structured training process.  **Revisit your usage:**  - **Don’t overspend on seats:** Motion is priced per seat, so be strategic in your usage. If you have occasional collaborators, say a contractor who wants to view project flow or adjust a task, you may not want to buy a full seat for them and instead see if Motion’s external sharing feature can cover that or if you can assign a point of contact to share with them what they need. That said, one tip is if you’ve two users exactly, you may be better off getting the subscription for three seats to qualify for the additional 40% discount on the third user or above (with additional 40% annual subscription discount, it’d become 80% off). - **Regularly check analytics:** Use the productivity charts and advanced dashboards to identify bottlenecks, optimize resource allocation, and track improvements introduced over time.  - **Periodically review your subscription:** In every six months, ensure you’re not overpaying for features you aren’t using. Moreover, if some users stopped using Motion, remove those licenses. If you find you need more, add them.  ## Is it worth paying for Motion? Whether Motion is worth investing in depends on your project needs and budget. Here's a breakdown to help you decide: ### Value for money A top-rated scheduling and productivity software, Motion appears in the [2024 Capterra Shortlist for Scheduling](https://www.capterra.com/scheduling-software/shortlist/?year=2024). Analysis of our verified user reviews in the past two years shows that Motion has a **value-for-money rating of 4.1 out of 5**, reflecting that many users feel they get solid value out of its powerful AI features and the fusion of scheduling, time tracking, and collaboration capabilities. This high rating also translates to increased output, time savings, and overall project success for teams of all sizes.

Use this time to: - **Choose which plan’s features to test:** We recommend signing up for the Business AI plan in the trial period, even if that’s only remotely on your radar or you think you only need Pro AI. This way you can see if things such as dashboards and time tracking actually provide value to you. In the end, if you feel the advanced stuff wasn’t of much use to you, you can opt for the Pro AI plan only.  - **Experience full AI capabilities:** Try to use the complete set of AI features, if possible, including the AI task planner, AI project manager, AI workflow builder, and AI calendar assistant among others. Have your team involved in the trial by adding a couple of members and simulating your regular workflows. Also, don’t forget to connect the system with your existing tools and calendars.  - **Calculate your personal ROI:** Use the built-in calculator of Motion to quantify how much time and money the tool can save you based on your specific situation.  ### When to upgrade Consider subscribing to a paid plan if: - You feel time savings and productivity improvements in your workflow during the trial.  - You value having AI assistance with every decision being made around task prioritization and scheduling. - You want to avoid switching between multiple productivity tools. - You need priority customer support. ### Customer support options Motion offers various customer support options, but the level of access depends on your subscription plan: - **Priority support:** All paid plans of Motion include priority support to resolve issues quickly.  - **Dedicated expert support:** The Enterprise plan includes engineering support and a dedicated project management expert for ongoing guidance and assistance.  - **Self-serve resources:** For all subscribers, Motion provides comprehensive documentation, guides, and tutorials to help them make the most of the platform.  Whether you’re an individual professional, a small team, or a large enterprise, Motion offers a combination of AI-powered productivity tools and advanced features to help you enhance your productivity goals. Evaluate your specific needs to choose the plan that best aligns with your objectives. ## Is Motion right for you? ### Assessing your requirements To determine if Motion aligns with your business, assess your specific requirements and compare them against what the software offers across plans. Start by identifying the key aspects of productivity and project management that are most important to you. Ask yourself the following questions: - **How much time do you spend on scheduling and task management?** If you spend significant time prioritizing tasks, managing your calendar, and jumping between different tools, Motion's AI capabilities can provide efficiency and time savings. However, if you just need to schedule client meetings or you only want to organize your team’s tasks and don’t care about automated scheduling, another project management tool might be sufficient. - **Do you prefer making scheduling decisions yourself or would you benefit from AI assistance?** Motion's core value proposition is AI that makes decisions for you. It’s built for a busy professional or team that has too much to do and needs help figuring out how to fit everything into their day or week. Motion’s ability to automate planning can be valuable and potentially save costs by preventing missed appointments and eliminating the need for hiring extra help. However, if you prefer more manual control, you might find AI overwhelming.  - **Are you mainly focused on personal productivity or team coordination?** The Pro AI plan is excellent for individual productivity, while the Business AI and Enterprise plans add features for team coordination and analytics. - **How important is integration with your existing tools?** All Motion plans offer integrations, but if you need enterprise-scale integrations or API access, the higher-tier plans provide more comprehensive options. - **How complex are your projects and workflows?** For larger projects with multiple dependencies and team members, the Business AI or Enterprise plans offer more robust features, such as time tracking and capacity planning, than Pro AI.  - **Do you have specific security or compliance requirements?** If your organization needs features such as SOC 2 compliance, single sign-on, or role-based access control, the Enterprise plan addresses these needs. To make the best choice, we recommend further exploring Motion’s pricing plans and features in detail. ### Alternatives to Motion Motion is a highly rated scheduling and productivity tool that has garnered an **overall rating of 4.3 stars (out of 5)**.

However, it does provide a risk-free seven-day trial that allows you to experience all the features before committing to a subscription. You can cancel anytime during the trial period without being charged. After the trial, you must subscribe to either the Pro AI or Business AI plan to continue using Motion. The seven-day trial can feel short, so we recommend starting it when you know you’ll have time that week to really use Motion daily. How does Motion's AI actually save me time? Motion's AI saves time by automating decisions about what tasks to work on and when. Instead of manually planning your day, the AI analyzes your tasks, deadlines, priorities, and calendar to automatically schedule your work optimally. According to our analysis of verified user reviews, Motion has received an impressive rating of 4.7 out of 5 for natural language processing (NLP) functionality.

Motion hasn’t broadly advertised specific discounts, but it’s not uncommon for SaaS companies to have unpublicized discounts for non-profits and educational institutions. It’s worth reaching out to Motion’s sales team if you are a non-profit, educational institution, or student to ask. What is the difference between Pro AI and Business AI in simple terms? In a nutshell, Pro AI is for a single-user experience (or very small teams) and includes all of Motion’s personal productivity features. Business AI is richer for teamwork and managing a group. It has everything Pro AI offers, plus tools for team project management, analytics, and administrative control. If you’re alone or just care about your own schedule, choose Pro AI. If you need to oversee others or coordinate as a team in Motion, Business AI will be better. Is there a limit to how many projects or tasks I can have in Motion? No, Motion’s plans do not impose strict limits on the number of projects or tasks you can create. All plans (Pro and up) allow unlimited tasks, projects, and clients. Storage for file attachments is also effectively unlimited on paid plans​. Does Motion integrate with my existing tools? Yes, Motion integrates with many common tools at no extra charge, including Google and Outlook calendars, communication tools such as Zoom, CSV files to import tasks, and API to connect other apps such as external time tracker applications. In short, Motion plays nicely with existing workflows, especially calendar and video calls at no additional cost. Is Motion pricing negotiable for large teams? If you have a large number of users (dozens to hundreds) or are looking at the Enterprise plan, Motion’s sales team recommend discussing custom pricing. They might offer tiered discounts (e.g., a lower per-seat rate after X amount of seats) or accommodate another billing model. For Pro and Business plans, the prices are fixed for 15 or fewer users, though annual billing and buying subscriptions for three or more users effectively gives a discount. The average budget for project management solutions is $42 per user, per month as per our analysis of our interactions with buyers in the last year. How secure is Motion for handling sensitive business information? Motion offers basic security across all paid plans. For organizations with stricter security requirements, its Enterprise plan offers enhanced security features with SOC 2 compliance, regular security reports, and single sign-on capabilities. How steep is the learning curve for Motion? Most users find Motion's interface intuitive, but there is a learning curve associated with adjusting to having AI make scheduling decisions. The platform provides various self-serve onboarding resources as well as priority support to help new users get comfortable with Motion’s features. Enterprise customers also receive dedicated project management expertise for smooth adoption. #### Methodology 1. Review excerpts are passages extracted from longer reviews written by verified reviewers. We obtain these excerpts by applying an algorithm that considers factors including, but not limited to, length, topic coverage, and thematic relevance. Excerpts are evaluated for positive or negative sentiment and receive a sentiment score. Excerpts represent user opinion and do not represent the views of, nor constitute, an endorsement by Capterra or its affiliates. Excerpts are not edited for clarity or grammar. 2. Our research team identified these features from vendor websites (as of April 7, 2025) based on their analysis of what users find valuable or expect from scheduling software. This list is not exhaustive. For additional features, refer to the vendor’s website. 3. To identify the key features, we asked users to rate, on a scale of “low importance” to “critical,” how important different features are for scheduling software. The features showcased are those that the highest percentage of reviewers rated as “highly important” or “critical” over the past two years (as of April 7, 2025). 4. Findings are based on data from conversations that Capterra's advisor team has daily with software buyers seeking guidance on purchase decisions. The data used to create this report is based on interactions with small and midsize businesses seeking project management tools. For this report, we analyzed approximately 2,000 phone interactions from April 2023 to April 2025.
