**_A friend asked me last week what Motion costs, and I gave him a confident answer. Then he pulled up the pricing page, and it showed something different._**

I tested every plan variant, dug through the help docs, and cross-checked with real user reports to map out exactly what you'd pay. This guide covers all Motion app pricing combinations, what the 7-day trial involves, and who each plan makes sense for. Here's what I found.

## What is Motion?

[**Motion**](https://www.usemotion.com/) is an AI-powered productivity platform that **automatically schedules your tasks on your calendar**. You add a task with a deadline and a priority, and Motion finds the best available time slot, then reshuffles everything when a meeting gets added or a task runs long.

It's more than a to-do list. Motion **handles task management, project tracking, meeting notes, AI chat, docs, and team coordination** all in one workspace. The core differentiator is the AI scheduler. It actively moves things around so you don't have to decide what to work on and when.

## How much does the Motion app cost?

Motion has two tiers (Pro AI and Business AI) across two tracks (Individuals and Teams), with monthly and annual billing on each. Annual billing knocks off roughly a third or more. The discount runs from about 34% (Teams Pro AI) up to 43% (Individuals Business AI).

**Here's the full pricing matrix:**

| Track       | Plan          | Monthly       | Annual        |
|-------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
| Individuals | Pro AI       | $49/month     | $29/month     |
|              | Business AI  | $69/month     | $39/month     |
| Teams       | Pro AI       | $29/seat/month| $19/seat/month|
|              | Business AI  | $49/seat/month| $29/seat/month|

The official [**pricing page**](https://www.usemotion.com/pricing) defaults to Teams on annual billing, which makes it look cheaper than it is if you're an individual paying monthly. That's the source of most of the confusion. The $19 figure you'll see quoted in a lot of articles is the Teams annual Pro AI rate. If you're signing up solo on a monthly basis, you're looking at $49.

## Motion Pro AI plan for Individuals

Pro AI is Motion's core plan, designed for individual professionals and small teams who want AI to handle the scheduling work. It includes everything you need to use Motion as your main productivity tool.

**What's included:**

- **Integrations:** connects with the tools you already use
- **AI Writer and Editor:** content drafting built into the workspace
- **iOS, Android, and Desktop apps:** full access across all devices
- **AI Task Planner:** the daily prioritization engine that builds your schedule
- **AI Projects and Tasks:** full project and task management with dependencies
- **AI Docs, Wiki, and Notes:** in-workspace documentation with AI writing assistance
- **AI Calendar and Meetings:** the core auto-scheduler; two-way sync with Google Calendar and Outlook
- **7,500 AI credits per seat per month**: the allocation that powers AI Chat, Notetaker, and Docs (more on this below)

If you're flying solo, Pro AI is the complete product. At $49/month (monthly) or $29/month (annual), Pro AI sits in the premium range for individual productivity tools.

## Motion Business AI plan for Individuals

Business AI includes everything in Pro AI and adds the features that make Motion useful when you need shared visibility across a team.

**What Business AI adds on top of Pro AI:**

- **Time Tracking:** log and report time per project or task
- **Priority Support:** faster response times from Motion's support team
- **15,000 AI credits per seat per month:** double the Pro AI allocation
- **Central Billing:** manage seats and payments from one admin account
- **Timeline and Gantt Charts:** visual project timelines with dependencies
- **Permissions and Access Control:** manage who can see and edit what
- **Advanced Dashboards and Reports:** cross-team progress tracking in one view
- **Team Capacity Planning:** see how much work each team member has and when they're available

For an individual, Business AI runs $69/month, or $39/month billed annually.

## Motion's 7-day free trial? What to expect

Motion offers a **7-day free trial on both plans.** You get full feature access during the trial. The signup and the cutoff are where you'll want to pay attention.
