Motion requires a credit card for the 7-day trial. Multiple users describe missing the trial end date and being charged $34 for the first month — a significant price point that the onboarding doesn't emphasize adequately.
"Trial ended and I got hit with a $34 charge. I had forgotten I'd signed up. $34/month for a task manager is a hard sell when Todoist is $5."
Users in the trial or first-month phase describe the AI reshuffling their schedule in ways that are technically calendar-valid but don't account for context the user has but the system doesn't — urgency, external dependencies, energy levels. Trusting the automation fully requires a mindset shift that many users describe abandoning.
The consistent Reddit arc: user signs up, tries Motion for 2 weeks, finds the AI's decisions opinionated and the setup demanding, cancels. The category of users who stick with it long-term describes a 3–4 week ramp before the value becomes clear — more than most users invest.
