# Sistava vs Motion

*AI Personal Assistants*

Sistava vs Motion

Motion bills itself as the "AI Powered SuperApp for Work": an AI task manager that auto-prioritizes your to-do list, an AI calendar that schedules your day around deadlines and protects focus time, an AI project manager, a meeting notetaker, and a docs assistant, all in one seat-based subscription. It is aimed at individuals and small teams who want their existing calendar and task list run smarter by AI. Sistava is a different category: instead of a productivity dashboard a human still operates, you hire an AI employee with a role, marketer, sales rep, ops assistant, who works its own schedule and does the underlying work itself.

> **Bottom line:** Motion optimizes tasks and meetings that a human still has to complete. Sistava's AI employees do the work in that time slot: draft the content, send the outreach, update the CRM, not just find room on the calendar for a person to do it.

## Profile

## Why Sistava

- Motion optimizes tasks and meetings that a human still has to complete. Sistava's AI employees do the work in that time slot: draft the content, send the outreach, update the CRM, not just find room on the calendar for a person to do it.
- Motion is a single productivity tool priced per seat at $19-$29/mo. Sistava scales from one AI employee to a full team, sales, marketing, support, ops, under a leader who delegates, on plans from Free + $49/mo up to $399/mo.
- Honest concession: Motion's AI Calendar, which auto-schedules your entire day around deadlines and defends focus time block by block, is a tighter, more mature scheduling engine than what Sistava's own per-employee work schedules offer today.
