Motion vs Reclaim.ai

Motion

• People who want tasks placed on the calendar automatically
• Teams that want tasks, projects, docs and meeting notes in one app
• Deadline-driven work that needs frequent re-planning

Reclaim.ai

• Google Calendar or Outlook users who want focus time and tasks scheduled for them
• Individuals looking for a free plan with basic auto-scheduling
• Teams that want shared out-of-office visibility and time analytics

Motion

• There is no free plan. A card is required for the trial, and Motion's terms say purchases are non-refundable.
• One person pays more than a team seat: Pro AI is $29 a month billed annually for an individual, against $19 per seat for teams.
• AI use is metered: 7,500 credits per seat a month on Pro AI and 15,000 on Business AI, with extra credits charged per 100.
• Gantt charts, time tracking, capacity planning and permissions are limited to Business AI.

Reclaim.ai

• There are no native iOS or Android apps; Reclaim is a web app that can be added to a home screen as a PWA.
• It works only with Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar.
• The free Lite plan is limited to 1 user, a 1-week scheduling range, 1 calendar sync and 1 scheduling link.
• Starter is capped at 10 seats and Business at 100. Enterprise, where SSO and SCIM are listed, requires at least 100 seats and annual billing.

Motion

Automatic scheduling

A scheduling engine places tasks into openings on your calendar based on duration, priority and deadlines, and rebuilds the plan as the day changes.

Tasks and projects

Tasks sit inside projects and workspaces, and AI can draft a project and its tasks from a description. Timelines and Gantt charts need Business AI.

Calendar sync

Connects Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook (Office 365 and Exchange Online) and iCloud Calendar. The iCloud connection has a more limited feature set.

Booking links

A shareable link lets other people book meetings based on your real-time availability. You set rules for availability, duration, buffers and limits.

AI Notetaker

Captures transcripts from video calls and drafts summaries and action items, which you approve before they become tasks.

AI Chat and Docs

A chat interface creates items and searches workspace data, and collaborative docs include AI drafting. AI use draws on the plan's monthly credits.

Reclaim.ai

Focus Time

Set a focus-time goal and Reclaim reserves blocks on your calendar to protect time for uninterrupted work.

Habits

Schedules recurring routines at the times that fit best around the rest of your calendar.

Task scheduling

Places tasks on the calendar as flexible blocks, with task integrations for Todoist, Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Linear and Google Tasks.

Smart Meetings

Finds a time for a meeting by looking across every attendee's schedule.

Scheduling Links

Share availability through booking links. Lite includes 1 link, Starter 3, and Business and Enterprise unlimited.

Calendar Sync and Buffer Time

Blocks time across your connected calendars so commitments in one show in the others, and adds breaks and travel time around meetings.
