Motion’s pricing page has an Individuals tab and a Teams tab, and a monthly or annual toggle. The figures below are the ones in that page’s pricing data on the checked date. The page opens on Teams, billed annually.
| Topic | HWH | Motion |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free on the Mac App Store. Every feature can be earned through normal use. You start with 3 silver coins, about 10 days’ head start. An optional Founder Pack ($29.99, one-time) unlocks everything immediately. It is never required, and it is not a subscription. | On the Teams tab, Pro AI is $29 per seat per month billed monthly, or $19 per seat per month billed annually. Business AI is $49 per seat per month billed monthly, or $29 per seat per month billed annually. The page says annual billing saves 33%. The Individuals tab uses another set of figures in the same pricing data: Pro AI at $49 per seat per month billed monthly or $29 billed annually, and Business AI at $69 per seat per month billed monthly or $39 billed annually. Amounts are in US dollars. The page invites a free trial and says you can cancel anytime. It does not state the trial length in the text checked here. |
| Platforms | A native Mac app for macOS 14 or later. HWH does not publish an iPhone, iPad, Windows, Android, or Apple Watch app. | The Pro AI list includes iOS, Android, and desktop apps. Motion’s mobile guide describes the phone app as a companion to desktop, and says some features, including Gantt charts, stay on desktop. Onboarding is completed in a desktop browser before the apps will work. iOS can also start a subscription inside the app. |
| Account and the plan | No HWH account. HWH builds the plan on your Mac and does not keep an HWH server copy of your tasks, plans, notes, scores, or source context. Connected tools, optional AI, diagnostics, Game Center, and this website each have their own data flow, set out in the privacy policy. | Motion uses an account. The onboarding guide says you sign in with email, Google, Apple, or Outlook, and that a new account is a team account. |
| How the day is planned | One current task at a time, with a link back to the source. Quick replanning when the day changes. Planned time set against actual time. Habits, metrics, and life-area balance across Health, Wealth, Happiness, and Work. | Motion’s pricing page lists AI Calendar and Meetings, an AI Task Planner, AI projects and tasks, and AI docs, wiki, and notes. The onboarding guide says Motion can draft a project plan, with stages and tasks, from a short description. HWH does not draft a project plan for you. |
| Existing tools | Works alongside the tools you already use, rather than replacing them: Apple Mail, Gmail, Microsoft 365/Exchange mail, Apple Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Things 3, OmniFocus, Todoist, Asana, Jira, Redmine, Safari Reading List, and TheBrain. | The pricing page lists Integrations and does not name each connector there, so this table does not invent one. HWH’s connector list is the one published on this site. |
| Teams | Not a team project planner. There is no shared HWH workspace, SSO, or admin billing. | Business AI adds team capacity planning, dashboards and reports, timeline and Gantt charts, time tracking, permissions and access control, central billing, and priority support. The onboarding guide says Motion is designed for teams, and that seats are sold in set counts. |
| AI | An optional assistant, off by default. It uses an API key you provide, with a provider you choose. HWH is not the AI provider, and the Founder Pack does not include AI usage credits. | AI features are part of the subscription and spend credits. Pro AI includes 7,500 credits per seat per month. Business AI includes 15,000. Extra credits are shown at 25 cents per 100 on Pro AI and 19 cents per 100 on Business AI. Credits refresh each billing cycle and do not carry over. The pricing page says a workflow such as a meeting summary or a drafted email typically costs around 5 credits. |
Motion is built to plan work with AI and to run it across a team. HWH is built to put one honest next task on a Mac, from tools you already have, without a seat price.
HWH is free to download, and every feature can be earned through normal use. The optional Founder Pack is $29.99 once and is not a subscription. Motion’s pricing page, checked on 1 October 2026, shows team annual prices of $19 per seat per month for Pro AI and $29 for Business AI, with higher monthly and individual rates on the same page. Motion’s plans include a monthly AI credit allowance.
HWH keeps one current task in front of you and lets you replan. Motion’s pricing page includes an AI task planner and AI calendar and meetings, and its onboarding guide says Motion can draft a project plan from a description. If you want the product to build the plan, Motion is the stronger choice.
HWH is not a team project planner. Motion’s Business AI plan adds capacity planning, dashboards, Gantt charts, time tracking, permissions, and central billing.
Choose Motion when you want AI planning, desktop and mobile apps, and team project tools, and you are ready to pay per seat. Choose HWH when you want a free Mac plan of work that already lives in your other tools.
