vsFold vs Motion
Motion plans your calendar for you with AI, and works best when your tasks and projects live in Motion. Fold does something different: it leaves your tasks in the apps your companies use, and simply shows them together.
Stay with Motion if…
- You want AI to decide when you work on what, and rebuild your calendar as things change.
- Your team is ready to manage its projects in Motion.
- A subscription is fine for you.
Fold is for you if…
- Your tasks have to stay in Planner, Jira, Notion or Asana, because that's what each company uses.
- You want to decide your own day, with everything in view.
- You want to start free, with no account.
