Why people switch from Motion to Steadily

Goal-first, not task-first

Motion expects you to already have a task list. Steadily asks 'What's your goal?' and builds the entire plan — tasks, sequence, timing, and all.

70% cheaper

Motion costs $19/month (annual) or $29/month. Steadily Pro is $6/month (annual). That's over $150/year in savings for more planning intelligence.

Built for life, not just work

Motion is designed for professionals managing work calendars. Steadily handles weddings, moves, fitness goals, career changes — the plans that actually keep you up at night.

Demand & scarcity intelligence

Planning a trip? Steadily knows when flights spike, when venues book up, and when deadlines have real-world consequences. Motion doesn't think about the world outside your calendar.

When Motion might be the better fit

If you already have a full task list and a packed calendar, and you need AI to find open slots and auto-schedule meetings, Motion is excellent. It's built for working professionals who think in terms of calendar blocks. If you need help building the plan itself — Steadily is the better fit.

The verdict

Motion is a powerful AI calendar for work scheduling. Steadily is an AI planning engine for complex goals. If you're planning anything bigger than next week's meetings — a move, a career pivot, a renovation — Steadily creates the plan that Motion would then schedule.
