Is Motion a Scam or Legit? Here's What the Record Shows.

AI task and calendar manager that auto-schedules your to-do list — with polarizing pricing

Short answer: No — but read on.

Our read

Motion sits in an uncomfortable middle ground. Not a scam, but a product where a meaningful share of customers walk away feeling like they were oversold or mishandled.

The strongest "this feels like a scam" signals tend to come from one of two places: marketing claims that don't match reality, or billing practices that make leaving harder than joining. Below are the 1 flags in those two categories we've documented for Motion.

Marketing & billing complaints

Billing Problems HIGH Source: Reddit Updated 20d ago

Credit card required for trial, converts at $34/month without sufficient notice

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."
