If you work alone and pay month to month, Motion's Pro AI plan costs $49 a month. Pay for a year up front and it drops to $29 a month. On a team, the same plan is $29 per seat billed monthly, or $19 per seat billed annually.

Motion's prices at a glance
The pricing page has two tabs, Individuals and Teams, and a switch between "Pay monthly" and "Pay annually (Save 33%)". There are two paid plans, Pro AI and Business AI, and no free plan.
| Tab and billing | Pro AI | Business AI |
|---|---|---|
| Individuals, billed monthly | $49/month | $69/month |
| Individuals, billed annually | $29/month | $39/month |
| Teams, billed monthly | $29/seat/month | $49/seat/month |
| Teams, billed annually | $19/seat/month | $29/seat/month |
What one person pays over a year (our calculation):
| Individual plan | Billed annually | 12 months billed monthly | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro AI | $348 | $588 | $240 |
| Business AI | $468 | $828 | $360 |
Annual billing is charged up front in one payment, so individual Pro AI costs $348 on day one. If you'll keep Pro AI for 8 months or more, annual is cheaper: 7 months of monthly billing is $343, 8 months is $392. For Business AI the line sits at 7 months.
The "Save 33%" label understates the individual discount. $29 against $49 is about 41% off, and $39 against $69 is about 43%. The label fits the Teams tab, where Pro AI goes from $29 to $19 (about 34%).
Prices are in US dollars. Motion's terms say applicable taxes are added, and your card may show a different amount after currency conversion.
Why every site shows a different Motion price
$19 is Teams, annual, per seat. $29 is both the individual annual Pro AI price and the Teams monthly Pro AI price. $49 is individual monthly Pro AI, and also Teams monthly Business AI.
So a review that says "Motion starts at $19" is describing a team that pays yearly. A freelancer paying monthly pays $49. Older pages may also list plan names and prices Motion no longer uses, so check the pricing page itself before you trust a screenshot.
AI credits
Every seat gets a monthly allowance: 7,500 AI credits on Pro AI and 15,000 on Business AI. AI Chat and the AI Meeting Notetaker use them. Motion's help center says credits reset each billing period, sit in a shared pool for the account, and don't roll over.
The pricing page lists a per-100-credit rate for extra credits, but Motion's help center doesn't explain how top-ups work. Motion also doesn't say how many chat messages or meeting notes a credit buys, so we can't give you a conversion. If you plan to lean on the notetaker, ask support before you pay for a year.
Pro AI vs Business AI
Pro AI covers the core product: AI Chat, projects and tasks, calendar and meetings, docs and notes, the AI Task Planner, unlimited storage, and apps for iOS, Android and desktop. Business AI adds Team Capacity Planning, dashboards and reports, Timeline & Gantt, time tracking, permissions, centralized billing and priority support.
Both plans are built around the planner, which places your tasks into free time on your calendar by itself. A solo user gets that on Pro AI. Business AI makes sense when a manager has to see who has capacity or track time.
Team pricing and seat packs
Motion's help center says seats come in fixed sizes: 1, 3, 5, then steps of five (10, 15, 20 and so on), with credits bundled in. A six-person team buys the 10-seat plan. On Pro AI annual that's 10 × $19 = $190 a month, or $2,280 a year, with four of those seats empty.
| Pro AI seats | Billed annually | Billed monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | $57/month ($684/year) | $87/month |
| 5 | $95/month ($1,140/year) | $145/month |
Teams larger than 50 are sent to Motion's sales team, and there's no public Enterprise price.
Trial, card, cancellation and refunds
The short version (more in Is Motion free?):
- The trial asks for a card. Motion places a $1 hold that's released within a few days.
- If you don't cancel, the trial converts to a paid plan and your card is charged on the first day of it.
- Motion's pricing page and help center don't state the trial length. Many reviews mention 7 days. Check the signup screen.
- Individuals cancel at app.usemotion.com: gear icon top left, Manage Plan, Cancel Plan. On a team only an admin can cancel. App Store subscribers cancel in iPhone settings.
- Per Motion's terms, purchases are non-refundable, though Motion may refund at its discretion. Access lasts to the end of the period.
Plans renew automatically for the same term, so on an annual plan put the renewal date in your calendar the day you pay. We found no student or nonprofit discount on Motion's pricing page or help center.

Who Motion is worth it for
Motion earns its price when the calendar itself is your problem: meetings keep moving and you rebuild your week by hand every Monday. The auto-scheduler does that rebuilding, for $348 a year as a solo user.
It's harder to justify if you already plan your own day and mainly need a place to put tasks.
If you don't need auto-scheduling
Vyneron does not auto-schedule. You give a task a date and time, and Vyneron saves it and reminds you. If Motion's planner is the reason you're shopping, Vyneron is the wrong tool.
Vyneron is built for getting tasks in fast. There's a free-forever plan, and Solo costs $6 a month or $59 a year. You add tasks by text, voice note or photo in Telegram (@VyneronAIBot), or from WhatsApp, Slack, the web app or the Android app (there's no iPhone app in the App Store). On paid plans and the trial, tasks show up in Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar through a one-way iCal feed (how calendar sync works). A three-person team on Multi (2 to 3 people) pays $119 a year, against $684 for three Motion Pro AI seats billed annually.
