Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Motion.
- No free plan; starts at $19/month per user
- Mobile app is significantly less capable than desktop version
- Requires adding deadlines, time estimates, and priorities to tasks to function effectively
- Limited advanced project management features compared to dedicated PM tools like Asana or ClickUp
- UI can feel cluttered and has a steep onboarding curve
