Motion alternatives

Updated

The main Motion alternatives are Akiflow, Lifey, Morgen, Reclaim and Sunsama. Reclaim is the one with a free plan for scheduling, Morgen and Akiflow are the closest to Motion's auto-planning, Sunsama is calmer and more manual, and Lifey is the one that plans your whole life in English or Hebrew.

Why people look for a Motion alternative

Motion's pricing page lists no free plan, and its AI is metered in credits per seat. Its help center also says the app has no option other than English. If you plan for yourself rather than a team, or you plan in Hebrew, those two facts are usually the reason to look around.

How we chose

We opened each official pricing and help page on 2026-10-12 and kept only facts we could read there. The list is in alphabetical order, not a ranking. Lifey is our app; read its row with that in mind.

The alternatives

Akiflow

Akiflow is the closest in spirit to Motion for a solo worker: a universal inbox and an assistant, Aki, that can auto-schedule your tasks, included in Pro. Pro is $34 a month or $19 a month billed yearly, with a 7-day trial that needs a card and no free plan.

Lifey

Lifey takes Motion's idea of planning your time and applies it to your whole day, not only work: calendar, tasks, reminders, workouts and money together. Unlike Motion, it changes nothing until you say yes, it is free to start, and it works in English and Hebrew.

Morgen

Morgen is a calendar first, with an AI Planner that suggests your day and reshuffles it when things clash, included in the Individuals plan. It costs $30 a month or $15 a month billed yearly, after a 14-day trial with no card.

Reclaim

Reclaim does the auto-scheduling inside the Google or Outlook Calendar you already use, and it has a free Lite plan. Starter is $10 per seat a month billed yearly or $12 monthly. Its help center says there is no native mobile app today.

Sunsama

Sunsama trades Motion's automation for a guided daily plan you shape yourself, with an assistant called Sunny. It is listed at $22 a month or $17 a month billed yearly, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.

When to stay with Motion

Stay with Motion if you run projects with a team and want AI scheduling, AI docs and meeting notes in one English workspace. None of the options above covers all of that in one place.
