Movement vs Passion.io
Passion.io launched as a no-code app builder for creators, offering courses, community, and custom branding. But creators quickly discovered limitations: no free trial, rigid templates, 100-video caps, no built-in forms, and pricing starting at $119/month.
Movement is different. You get a fully-branded app and website in one platform—with complete creative control over every detail. With a free plan, hundreds of customizable templates, unlimited video uploads, form builder, stock photo integration and more, Movement gives creators more control at lower costs.
This comparison breaks down pricing, features, and real creator experiences to help you decide which platform fits your needs.
"After playing around in Passion.io for a bit - Movement is 100% the way to go - by miles! And this is coming from someone who's done web development and where user experience is really important."

Pricing
Notably, it's expensive to create an app with Passion.io. There is no free trial or free plan, meaning you're unable to experience the platform you'll be building your business on firsthand before making a financial investment.
With Movement, you can choose either a free trial to test out all the features of the paid tiers or a completely free plan that you can use to launch your own app and beyond. This means you can test your app with your clients, community and market completely risk-free.
While Passion.io offers a 30-day money back guarantee, building your app will often take beyond 30 days and you want to feel confident with the product for both you and your members before making a considerable financial investment for your online business. To address your customer support needs throughout the build process, Movement offers live chat support on all plans and Passion only offers email support.
Additionally, the entry-level (Pro plan) on Passion.io is restricted to 100 videos, 100 subscribers and 1,000 push notifications per month. Movement's entry-level (Base plan) allows unlimited audio & video uploads, 1,000 Active Members and unlimited push notifications to be sent.
To remove Passion.io branding, you will need to be on the Ultimate plan or paying a minimum of $239/month. With Movement, you'll need to pay only $99/month on the Pro plan to remove Movement branding. We recommend exploring both platforms' pricing plans in more detail to explore annual pricing and inclusions but below is a snapshot of the monthly fees on Movement versus Passion.io pricing.
An extensive template library gives you the polish of the pros
Movement offers hundreds of predesigned, polished templates that can be customized to any app need–similar to what you see in Squarespace or Wix. You can quickly add an ‘About Me’ page, Meditation Library, a 'Podcast' page, landing pages, etc.
Passion offers a handful of rigid templates that don't offer much flexibility and aren't very customizable.

"I didn’t like the layout of the app platform I was using, luckily I came across an ad from Movement - it was such a relief because I wasn’t happy with my old app... neither were my clients! It's sooo easy to use! I have quick responses from the support email if need be, the features are great, I like how it’s linked up to stock images so I don’t pay for that anymore, and it’s so clean and crisp for my clients... it actually looks professional!"

Your questions, answered (FAQ)
How is Movement different from Passion.io?
Movement offers more customization and flexibility, a free plan to test the platform, built-in form builder, stock photo integration (Pexels/Unsplash), member referral programs, and lower pricing. Passion.io has a more rigid structure, requires $119/month minimum with no free trial, and lacks built-in forms and referral capabilities. Movement's Base plan ($49/month) supports 1,000 members vs Passion's Pro plan ($119/month) supporting only 100 subscribers.
Can I migrate my content & members from Passion.io to Movement?
Yes! Many creators have successfully migrated from Passion.io to Movement. We can assist you with a subscriber import via Stripe and also help bulk import content if you have a video/audio library, etc.
What’s a Web App? Is it still on the App Stores?
An app that you can open from any device with a URL. No downloads or installation required, and super easy to share. It performs like a native app but there’s no need to deal with the App Stores. We wrote an article to outline the benefits here.
How much of each sale do I get to keep?
With Movement, you get to keep up to 97.5% on any purchase made through your app. Even on our free plan, you keep 85% of each sale and with our paid plans, you keep 97.5% (before nominal Stripe fees). In comparison, the App Stores charge a 30% commissions on sales, so you'd keep approximately 70% of your sales.
Does Movement support the same features as Passion.io?
Yes, plus more. Movement supports everything Passion.io offers (courses, community, payments, custom branding) PLUS built-in form builder, stock photo integration, member referral programs, push notifications, 200+ templates, and more flexible customization. Movement also offers a free trial—Passion.io does not.
Can I offer free and paid content in my app?
Yes, you can and we think it’s a great idea to offer both. Providing free content in your app gives visitors an idea of what they will see or experience from your app, and the value you will deliver. Plus, our flexible pricing options mean you can create as many products as you'd like and charge on your terms – as one-off purchases or reoccurring subscriptions, at any price or frequency.
