Motion offers an aggressive $19 per month, or $228 per year pricing — for its much-talked about to-do list and calendar application.

Superhuman started out with hefty $30 per month pricing, totalling $360 for their powerful email service. Now, this trend has spanned into to-do list applications.

Whilst offering a 5-day trial, Motion pushes members towards their annual plan. But is it worth it? And should you consider premium tools in the future selection of to-do list applications?

💸 Premium Market

We’ve all heard of inflation. It applies to the productivity market too.

The price of bread increases each year by 2.81% (source) in the US alone. The same has applied in the past with software, but not as aggressively.

Todoist for example bumped their pricing in 2017 to $36 from $29 to account for the increased experience and growing prices in the market. Still regarded as a fairly cheap to-do list, Todoist offers a wide variety of features.
