Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DeepWork.io at 100% against Motion's 42%. DeepWork.io also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Motion's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 6) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Motion sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per month and DeepWork.io sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DeepWork.io holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Motion has 1.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Motion's written reviews are positive against 100% of DeepWork.io's.
Motion ships an update weekly, DeepWork.io fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
