If you have searched for calendar app pricing in 2026, you already know the problem: every AI calendar app buries its price behind a “Book a Demo” button or a free trial that auto-charges your card. Finding out how much Motion costs should not require a credit card and a cancellation reminder.
This is the definitive AI calendar app pricing guide. Every app. Every tier. Annual vs. monthly. Free trials. Credit card requirements. One table. No guessing.
The Master Pricing Table: Every AI Calendar App Ranked by Cost
This is the centerpiece. Ten calendar apps, ranked from cheapest to most expensive, with every pricing detail we could verify.
| App | Free Tier | Cheapest Paid Plan | Full Monthly Price | Annual Discount | Credit Card for Trial | Trial Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Calendar | Yes (full product) | N/A | Free | N/A | No | N/A |
| Trevor AI | Yes (basic) | $3.99/mo (annual) | $5/mo (monthly) | Yes | No | N/A (free tier) |
| Fantastical | Yes (basic) | $4.75/mo (annual) | $6.99/mo (monthly) | Yes (~32%) | No | N/A (free tier) |
| Clockwise | Yes (individuals) | $6.75/mo | $11.50/mo (Business) | Yes (~20%) | No | N/A (free tier) |
| Reclaim | Yes (limited) | $10/mo | $18/mo (Team) | Yes | No | N/A (free tier) |
| Morgen | No | $14/mo | $14/mo | No discount listed | No | N/A |
| UCals | No | $15/mo | $15/mo | TBD | No | 14 days |
| Sunsama | No | $16/mo (annual) | $20/mo (monthly) | Yes (20%) | No | 14 days |
| Akiflow | No | $24/mo (annual) | $34/mo (monthly) | Yes (~29%) | Yes | 14 days |
| Motion | No | $24/mo (annual) | $34-49/mo (monthly) | Yes | Yes (auto-charges) | 7 days |
A few things jump out immediately. The price range is enormous — from free to $49/month. The cheapest AI calendar with any paid plan is Trevor AI at $3.99/month. The most expensive is Motion at up to $49/month. And two apps — Motion and Akiflow — require a credit card just to try them.
The Four Price Tiers Explained
AI calendar apps cluster into four distinct pricing tiers. What you get at each level is dramatically different.
Free Tier ($0): Google Calendar, Clockwise, Reclaim, Trevor AI, Fantastical
Five apps offer some version of free. But “free” means very different things.
Google Calendar is the only truly free, fully featured calendar. No limits, no upsell nudges. Google added Gemini-powered meeting time suggestions in late 2025, but its AI capabilities stop there. It cannot move events through conversation, detect conflicts proactively, or manage anything beyond meetings. It is the baseline.
Clockwise (free for individuals) optimizes focus time by rearranging flexible meetings across a team. The free tier is functional for solo use but the real value is in team coordination. It is a Chrome extension, not a standalone app.
Reclaim (free tier available) auto-schedules habits and focus time on top of Google Calendar. The free tier limits you to two calendar connections and basic features. Over 320,000 users signed up for the free tier before Dropbox acquired Reclaim in August 2024.
Trevor AI (free tier available) offers lightweight task planning with a basic chat feature. The free version restricts the number of tasks you can plan per day. It manages tasks, not calendar events.
Fantastical (free tier available) is a beautiful calendar app with natural language event creation. The free version gives you basic calendar viewing. Natural language input (“Dentist May 29 at 2pm”) is not AI management — it is text parsing.
The verdict on free: You get calendar display and basic scheduling. You do not get AI that actively manages your day.
Budget Tier ($1-10/month): Trevor AI, Fantastical, Clockwise
At this price point, you are paying for polish and convenience, not AI intelligence.
Trevor AI ($3.99/month annual, $5/month monthly) unlocks more task slots and integrations. The “Ask Trevor” chat is lightweight — it helps plan when to do tasks, but you cannot say “move my dentist to 3pm” because Trevor manages tasks, not events. At under $5/month, the cheapest AI calendar option with any conversational feature.
Fantastical ($4.75/month annual, $6.99/month monthly) unlocks the full feature set: calendar sets, weather, interesting calendars, proposals, and Fantastical Scheduling (their scheduling link feature). Zero AI management capabilities. The annual plan saves roughly 32% over monthly billing.
Clockwise ($6.75/month, with Business tier at $11.50/month) adds team analytics, meeting limits, and advanced focus time features. Still read-only for event management — it cannot create or modify events, only rearrange meeting times within a team context.
The verdict on budget: Good tools for specific needs. None of them manage your calendar through AI. If all you need is a pretty calendar or basic task planning, this tier works. If you want AI that handles your schedule, keep reading.
Mid-Range Tier ($10-20/month): Reclaim, Morgen, UCals, Sunsama
This is where actual AI calendar management begins. The spread within this tier matters.
Reclaim ($10/month Starter, $18/month Team) auto-schedules habits, tasks, and buffer time using a priority system (P1-P4). It works as a Google Calendar bolt-on — you never leave the Google Calendar interface. No conversational AI. No desktop app. Configuration-driven, not conversation-driven.
Morgen ($14/month) is a cross-platform calendar aggregator that unifies Google, Outlook, and iCloud into one clean interface. Its AI Daily Planner is in beta — it suggests where to place tasks, and you approve or reject. No conversational interface. No cost tracking. No linked events. Morgen’s strength is multi-provider calendar unification, not AI management.
UCals ($15/month, 14-day free trial, no credit card) is a conversational AI calendar assistant. You type “move gym to 9” or “add a flight Thursday at 2pm, $450” and it happens. Twelve purpose-built AI tools. Eleven life categories. Multi-currency cost tracking. Linked events. Per-day overrides. Automatic conflict detection. Instant undo on every AI action. Two-way Google Calendar sync. Currently Mac desktop with mobile in development.
Sunsama ($16/month annual, $20/month monthly) is a guided daily planning ritual. Every morning, it walks you through selecting and timeboxing your tasks. It integrates with Trello, Asana, and Jira. No AI. No auto-scheduling. No conversational interface. Sunsama is a workflow discipline tool — you do all the planning manually.
The verdict on mid-range: This tier offers the widest range of approaches. Reclaim automates habits. Morgen aggregates calendars. Sunsama structures your planning ritual. UCals gives you a conversational AI that manages everything. At $15/month, UCals includes features — cost tracking, linked events, life categories, per-day overrides — that no competitor at any price offers.
Premium Tier ($20-50/month): Akiflow, Motion
At the top of the market, you are paying for task automation engines, not calendar management.
Akiflow ($24/month annual, $34/month monthly) is a task-focused productivity suite. It pulls tasks from Slack, Gmail, Notion, Linear, and other platforms into a unified inbox with calendar integration. The 14-day trial requires a credit card. At $34/month, Akiflow competes with full project management tools rather than calendar apps. The annual plan saves roughly 29%.
Motion ($24/month annual, $34-49/month monthly) auto-schedules tasks based on deadlines and priorities. You configure rules and Motion rearranges your day around them. It is the most well-funded AI calendar startup ($75M raised) and the most expensive.
Motion deserves special attention because it is the app most people search for when they look up AI calendar pricing. Here is what that money gets you: deadline-aware task scheduling, automatic rearrangement when plans change, and project management features. Here is what it does not: conversational AI, cost tracking, life categories, linked events, or instant undo. Motion requires weeks of setup, focuses exclusively on work tasks, and charges $34-49/month for monthly billing. Its 7-day trial requires a credit card and auto-charges if you forget to cancel. Trustpilot reviews frequently cite billing complaints.
The verdict on premium: If you manage complex task backlogs with hard deadlines, Motion’s auto-scheduling delivers. But at 2-3x the price of mid-range alternatives like UCals, the value equation depends entirely on whether automated deadline scheduling is your primary need. For most individuals, it is not.
Feature-Per-Dollar Analysis
Price alone does not tell the story. Here is what you actually get per dollar at each price point.
| Feature | Motion ($24-49) | Sunsama ($16-20) | UCals ($15) | Reclaim ($10-18) | Morgen ($14) | Trevor ($4-5) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conversational AI | No | No | Yes | No | No | Limited |
| Auto-scheduling | Yes (rules) | No (manual) | Via AI chat | Yes (habits) | Beta (suggest) | Task only |
| Life categories | No | No | 11 categories | No | No | No |
| Cost tracking | No | No | Multi-currency | No | No | No |
| Linked events | No | No | Yes | No | No | No |
| Per-day overrides | No | No | Yes | No | No | No |
| Travel time | No | No | Yes (Mapbox) | Partial | No | No |
| Conflict detection | Yes | No | Automatic | Yes | Beta | No |
| Instant undo | No | No | Yes | No | No | No |
| Google Calendar sync | Yes | Yes | Two-way | Yes (bolt-on) | Yes | Yes |
| Desktop app | Yes | Web | Mac | Web only | Mac/Win/Linux | Web |
| Mobile app | Yes | Yes | Coming soon | No | Beta | Yes |
Five features exist only in UCals at any price: conversational AI as the primary interface, 11 life categories, multi-currency cost tracking, linked events with cascade behavior, and per-day overrides. Motion at $34-49/month has none of them. Neither does any other app on this list.
The cost-per-feature math is clear. UCals at $15/month delivers more unique calendar management capabilities than Motion at $49/month. Whether those capabilities match your needs is a separate question — but on pure feature density per dollar, the mid-range tier wins.
Annual vs. Monthly: Where the Savings Are
Annual billing saves real money on several apps. Here is exactly how much.
| App | Monthly Billing | Annual Billing | Annual Savings | Savings % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motion | $34-49/mo | $24/mo | $120-300/yr | 29-51% |
| Akiflow | $34/mo | $24/mo | $120/yr | ~29% |
| Fantastical | $6.99/mo | $4.75/mo | $26.88/yr | ~32% |
| Sunsama | $20/mo | $16/mo | $48/yr | 20% |
| Trevor AI | $5/mo | $3.99/mo | $12.12/yr | ~20% |
| Clockwise | $11.50/mo (Business) | ~$6.75/mo | ~$57/yr | ~20% |
| UCals | $15/mo | TBD | TBD | TBD |
| Morgen | $14/mo | No discount listed | $0 | 0% |
Motion has the largest absolute savings on annual billing — up to $300 per year. But you are still paying $288/year for a tool that requires weeks of setup and focuses only on work tasks. UCals at $15/month ($180/year) gives you full AI calendar management for less than Motion’s annual plan.
The Credit Card Question
This matters more than most pricing guides acknowledge. Two apps require a credit card to start a free trial.
Akiflow requires a credit card for its 14-day trial. You must remember to cancel before day 14 or you will be charged $34.
Motion requires a credit card for its 7-day trial and auto-charges at $34-49/month when the trial ends. This is the shortest trial window with the highest auto-charge risk. Set a cancellation reminder if you try it.
Every other app on this list — including UCals, Sunsama, Reclaim, Clockwise, Trevor AI, Fantastical, and Morgen — lets you start a free trial or use a free tier without entering payment information.
Who Should Pick What (By Budget)
$0/month: Google Calendar does the basics. Reclaim’s free tier adds lightweight habit scheduling on top. Neither has conversational AI.
Under $10/month: Trevor AI ($3.99-5) for basic task planning. Fantastical ($4.75-6.99) for the most polished Apple calendar experience. Neither manages your calendar through AI.
$10-20/month: This is the value sweet spot. UCals ($15) gives you full conversational AI, cost tracking, linked events, and whole-life management. Reclaim ($10-18) gives you habit automation. Sunsama ($16-20) gives you structured daily planning rituals. For AI calendar management, UCals delivers the most per dollar in this range.
$20-50/month: Akiflow ($24-34) for pulling tasks from every platform. Motion ($24-49) for deadline-driven auto-scheduling. Both are task management tools first, calendars second. Both require credit cards to trial.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Motion calendar cost in 2026?
Motion costs $34 to $49 per month on monthly billing, or $24 per month on an annual plan ($288/year). Motion does not display pricing publicly on its homepage. A credit card is required for the 7-day trial, and it auto-charges at the full monthly rate if you do not cancel.
What is the cheapest AI calendar app?
Trevor AI at $3.99/month (annual billing) is the cheapest paid AI calendar with any conversational feature. Reclaim and Clockwise offer free tiers with limited AI capabilities. For full conversational AI calendar management, UCals at $15/month is the most affordable option.
Which AI calendar apps have free trials without a credit card?
UCals (14-day trial), Sunsama (14-day trial), and Morgen all let you start without a credit card. Reclaim, Clockwise, Trevor AI, and Fantastical offer free tiers with no payment required. Motion and Akiflow both require a credit card to start their trials.
Is it worth paying for an AI calendar app?
At any billing rate above $50/hour, saving one hour per week on calendar management recovers $200/month. UCals costs $15/month. Even saving 15 minutes per week -- one rescheduled meeting, one conflict avoided, one batch of events created in one sentence instead of clicks -- recovers the cost.
What is the best value AI calendar app in 2026?
UCals at $15/month offers the highest feature density per dollar of any AI calendar. No other app at any price combines conversational AI, 11 life categories, multi-currency cost tracking, linked events, and per-day overrides. Motion costs 2-3x more and has none of those features.
