| Fact | Motion | TODO for AI |
|---|---|---|
| Interface | Web, desktop, mobile | Web, desktop, mobile, CLI, IDE (Zed, JetBrains, VS Code), voice |
| Models | Vendor managed | Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and other supported models |
| Source | Closed | Edge + CLI public |

Key takeaways
- Models. Motion model choice: Vendor managed. TODO for AI includes Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok on paid plans. Pick the model for each job; let another review the result.
- Benchmark. TODO for AI scored 91.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 with Opus 5.5 (high) (own harness, 81/89 tasks, 2026-10-26; not an official leaderboard submission).
- Price. Motion pricing: Pro AI $19 per seat per month billed annually with 7,500 AI credits, Business AI $29 per seat with 15,000. Monthly billing costs more; annual is advertised as saving 33%. Free trial, no free tier. TODO for AI has a free plan (Claude Sonnet only), then Starter $20, Pro $100 or Ultra $200 a month with the supported multi-vendor catalog.
- Shared business work. TODO for AI: Your whole team and its AI agents, on one board. Shared company context, brand voice and memory. AI working in your connected tools, signed-in browser and machines.
- Included usage. One shared pool of credits, with the cloud VM and browser included. Personal session and weekly limits apply. Credit usage depends on the model; see the pricing page for plan details.
- Who should pick which. Pick Motion if your problem is prioritising and scheduling, not capacity. Pick TODO for AI if you want the tasks done, not scheduled.

Plans and usage limitsWhat Motion is, and where it stops
Motion solves a narrow problem properly. It takes your tasks, deadlines and meetings and lays them out across a calendar that reshuffles itself when reality changes, which is more useful than it sounds for anyone whose list is longer than their week. The AI writer, docs and meeting features sit around that core.
It is a planning tool, not an execution one. Every item it schedules still gets done by a person: Motion decides that Tuesday at 10 is when you write the proposal, and then you write the proposal. There is no agent with a shell, a browser session or a repo, so the work itself never moves off your plate.
People whose problem is deciding when to do the work rather than doing it.
Three reasons Motion users look elsewhere
The output is a better calendar. The tasks on it are still yours to do, one at a time, by hand.
There is a trial, but no free plan underneath it: once it ends the board costs $19 a seat, and that headline price assumes annual billing.
No shell, no machine, no logged-in browser. An item saying "update the pricing page" stays an item until a human opens the CMS.
