Motion app alternative
A Motion app alternative that shows the day is full, instead of reshuffling it
Motion points a clever AI at your calendar and moves your tasks around until they fit. TaskBerry asks the question underneath that: does this day fit at all? The board sizes each task and turns red before you commit, at a flat €9.95 a month for one person.
Honest fit
Who each one is really for
Motion fits people who want AI to run the calendar
Motion's automatic scheduling is genuinely strong. Hand it a pile of tasks and deadlines and it slots everything into your calendar, then keeps rearranging as things move. If you want software to own your schedule, and especially if you work inside a team, it does that well.
TaskBerry fits one freelancer deciding what to take on
If you run 2 to 5 clients on your own, the risk is not a messy calendar. It is saying yes to a week that was already full. TaskBerry sizes each task, sets the hours against the ones you actually have, and leaves the choice of what to drop with you.
Same full day
Reshuffle the day, or see it will not fit
Both tools notice an overloaded day. What they do about it is the honest difference.
9 hours of work planned into a 6 hour day.
TaskBerry
The board turns red and hands you the choice
Every task gets a time size automatically. The bar fills as you plan and turns red when the day runs over, so you decide what to drop before you commit.
3h over before you start
Motion
The AI reschedules it for you
Motion auto-schedules your tasks into open calendar slots and pushes whatever does not fit to another day, without asking whether you should have taken it on.

The price gap
What it costs, plainly
TaskBerry has a real free plan you can stay on, and Pro is €9.95 a month with VAT included. Motion has no free tier and starts at $19 per seat a month for its Pro AI plan, as of July 2026 (USD). You are paying for an AI scheduling engine and, increasingly, a team platform. TaskBerry is one screen for one person, and priced like it.

Switching
Trying it does not undo Motion
Start on the free plan in a couple of minutes and keep Motion running in another tab. If seeing the day before you commit turns out to be what you were missing, the move is small: a handful of tasks and your labels. If it is not, you have lost nothing.

Honest answers
Questions worth asking first
- Is TaskBerry a full Motion replacement?
- No. If you want an AI to own your calendar and reschedule everything automatically, Motion does that and does it well. TaskBerry replaces it only if your real need is capacity: seeing that a week is already full before you say yes, and billing the hours afterward.
- What does Motion do better?
- Automatic scheduling. Motion takes your tasks and deadlines and arranges them across your calendar for you, then keeps rearranging as things change. If you want to hand your schedule to software, that is its strength.
- Why is TaskBerry cheaper?
- Because it does one job for one person. There is no AI scheduling engine to run, no per-seat team platform, and no calendar automation. It sizes your day and bills your hours, so the price stays at €9.95 a month and the free plan is real.
- Is there a free Motion alternative?
- Motion has no free tier, so trying it means paying from day one. TaskBerry has a real free plan: you can size a full week and watch the bar turn red without entering a card. Pro is €9.95 a month when you also want billing and client reports.
