Bottom Line

Catalog updated: August 2026

Capacities and Motion both sit in Productivity, but they're built around different use cases within it. Capacities runs on a freemium model while Motion runs on a paid-only plan, which alone may settle it if budget or a free tier is a hard requirement.

Choose Capacities if…

Best for anyone who wants their notes organized as typed objects with real connections, not just pages in folders, and its edge is aI surfaces related notes automatically, reducing the 'I know I captured this somewhere' problem. A genuinely different and thoughtful note-taking model, it demands more upfront structure thinking than just dumping notes. Lean toward Motion instead if automatically reschedules your entire calendar when priorities or plans change, not just at initial setup matters more for your use case.

Choose Motion if…

Best for people with many competing tasks and deadlines who want scheduling handled automatically, not manually, and its edge is automatically reschedules your entire calendar when priorities or plans change, not just at initial setup. A real relief once you have enough tasks to justify it, expensive and unnecessary if your task list is short. Lean toward Capacities instead if aI surfaces related notes automatically, reducing the 'I know I captured this somewhere' problem matters more for your use case.
