# Motion vs CanopyChat

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CanopyChat at 100% against Motion's 42%. CanopyChat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Motion's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Motion sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per month and CanopyChat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CanopyChat 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 2, 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 CanopyChat's.

Motion ships an update weekly, CanopyChat every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
