Do you need Plus?

Free is a real plan with no time limit on it. Plus is £4.99 a month, or £49.99 a year, if you need it — here is exactly where the two differ.

Where the two plans differ

  • 5 The same on both plans
  • 6 Free, with a smaller allowance
  • 10 Plus only

Find out for yourself.

How many separate blocks?

A block is one set of apps and the rules for it.

Routines and reminders?

Motiv counts the two together.

Want any of these?

Tick anything that sounds like you.

Free covers all of that.

Nothing you’ve picked needs a subscription. Stay on Free for as long as you like — Plus is there if that ever changes.

These need Plus:

  • More than one block. Free gives you one; Plus up to 20.
  • More than three routines and reminders. Free counts three in total; Plus is unlimited.
  • Location blocks. Blocks when you get to a place, or when you leave one.
  • Daily app limits. Blocks once your chosen apps pass the cap you set.
  • Auto-start routines. No tap and no notification — already running when you sit down.
  • Holiday Mode. Freeze your streak for a date range, and choose what keeps running.

Everything else is free either way.

Not sure what a row means? Everything Motiv does, explained

And if you stop.

Stop paying and nothing is deleted. Your extras pause, and everything comes back when you resubscribe.

Anything past the free limits — a second block, a fourth routine — stops enforcing and stops nudging. It stays on your phone either way. We’d rather lose the leverage than hold your setup hostage.

Cancelling is in your Apple Account, not in Motiv, and Plus stays active until the period you’ve paid for ends.

Motiv arrives on iPhone soon.

Start free. Add Plus only if you need it.
