Side by side
| Free | Plus | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the puzzles come from | ||
| Chess accounts connected Every account's games merge into one set, newest game first. | 1 | Up to 6: three on lichess, three on chess.com |
| Games read Every account's whole history is scanned, at the loosest threshold and across every time control. What the tier decides is how much of what was found you can reach — not what Motify bothered to look at. | All of them | All of them |
| New games picked up | Automatically, as you finish playing | Automatically, as you finish playing |
| Scan queue | After Plus members | First |
| How hard the engine looks | ||
| Engine and search depth The same Stockfish 18 and the same answer key on both tiers. A free account is never given a worse solution — only fewer games to find them in. | The same | The same |
| Blunder threshold How much a move has to have cost before it counts as a tactic you missed. | Fixed at 200cp | Yours to set, 50cp to 250cp |
| Which games get read Free reads the lot, so nothing of yours is skipped. Plus is about narrowing it — only your classical games, say. | Every time control | Whichever ones you pick |
| Turn any position into a puzzle Paste a FEN or set the pieces out by hand. | — | Yes |
| The training run | ||
| Your own tactics per day Primers do not count against it — a free day is five full runs. Resets at midnight UTC. | 5 | As many as you like |
| Primers before your own position Matched on motif against 6.1M labelled lichess puzzles. | 2, easiest then hardest | 3, ramped easiest to hardest |
| Grading, refutations, move ratings | Yes | Yes |
| Puzzle rush Three minutes over every position you have ever missed, in a random order, against a clock. It is built out of your record, which is why it is here: thirty days of one is not enough behind you to rush. | — | Yes |
| Analysis board, Stockfish 18 in the tab It runs on your machine, so it is free for everyone. | Yes | Yes |
| What you keep | ||
| Tactics you can solve Nothing is deleted either way — the rest are waiting if you upgrade, and they come straight back. | Newest 50 | Every one found |
| Accuracy and solve history | Last 30 days | All of it |
| Motif breakdown Which patterns you walk past, and whether it is improving. | — | Yes |
| Openings scored Your record in each opening, over every game read rather than only the ones that went wrong, and the tactics you missed inside the first fifteen moves of it. Free gets the one you score worst in, picked out of the lot and trainable — it is a real row, not a sample. | Your worst one | All of them, searchable |
