Every Manus plan, how credits work, what a dollar buys and where costs surprise people, from Manus's help center and docs.

Fact checked against each company's published pricing, documentation and verified user ratings. How we score
Manus is free to start with 300 credits a day. Paid Pro plans begin at $20 per month for 4,000 credits or $40 per month for 8,000 credits, and Team starts at $20 per seat. Annual billing saves 17%. The catch is that a task's credit cost depends on how complex it is and how long it runs, so your real monthly spend can drift above the sticker price.

All Manus plans
| Plan | Monthly price | Credits | Concurrent tasks | Scheduled automations | Agents |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 300 per day | 1 | 2 | Manus 2.0 Lite |
| Pro | From $20 | 4,000 per month | 20 | 20 | 2.0 Max, 2.0, 2.0 Lite |
| Pro | From $40 (7 day trial) | 8,000 per month | 20 | 20 | 2.0 Max, 2.0, 2.0 Lite |
| Team | From $20 per seat | Shared team pool | 20 | 20 | 2.0 Max, 2.0, 2.0 Lite |
Every plan includes Chat Mode. Pro adds advanced research, website deployment, slide generation, Wide Research and early access to beta features. Team adds SSO, a data training opt out, team usage analytics, internal access control and shared slide templates. Higher Pro credit tiers exist; Manus says the live pricing page governs.
What each limit means in practice
300 daily credits. Enough for a few Chat Mode questions and a light Agent Mode task on 2.0 Lite each day. The one task at a time limit is the bigger constraint.
4,000 credits. Manus does not publish fixed per task costs. Its docs say the dashboard gives an estimate before you start and suggest specific prompts, Chat Mode for simple questions and batching similar tasks to save credits. Expect a short research report to cost far less than a website build that needs several fix passes.
20 concurrent tasks. This is where Pro earns its price: you can run Wide Research and other jobs side by side instead of queueing.
Annual vs monthly
Annual billing is 17% cheaper on Pro and Team. Monthly credits still reset each month.
Hidden costs
- Credit burn on failed runs. Credits are consumed during active task processing. Several Trustpilot reviewers, where Manus scores 1.2 from 218 reviews, describe credits spent on loops and broken builds that they then had to dispute.
- Add on packs. When you run out, you buy credit packs or move up a tier. Add on credits never expire, which softens the cost.
- Cloud Computer. Manus 2.0 sells a dedicated Cloud Computer for always on projects such as multiplayer game servers or round the clock automations, separate from your plan.
- Cue phone numbers. Phone subscriptions in Manus's Cue app are bought separately and use their own weekly allowance.
Worked examples
All Pro tiers we could see price credits at 200 per dollar ($20 for 4,000, $40 for 8,000).
Occasional research. A few agent tasks a week on the free plan. Cost: $0.
A freelancer doing weekly market reports and decks. Pro at $20 per month, $240 per year before the annual discount. With 17% off annual, about $199 per year.
A small agency running parallel research for clients. Pro at $40 for 8,000 credits plus add on packs in busy months. Base cost: $480 per year before the annual discount.
A team of five. Team from $20 per seat: $100 per month, or about $996 per year with 17% off.
How it compares
| Agent | Entry paid price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Manus | $20 per month | 4,000 credits, 20 concurrent tasks |
| ChatGPT agent (Work) | $20 per month (Plus) | Flat fee, usage ranges shared with Codex |
| Genspark | $24.99 per month ($19.99 annual) | 10,000 credits plus weekly Free Quota |
| Perplexity | $17 per month billed annually | Computer access plus 4,000 bonus credits |
| Lindy | $49.99 per month | 5,000 credits |
Manus's free plan is more generous day to day than most rivals because it refreshes daily. On paid plans, ChatGPT Plus is the flatter bill and Genspark's Free Quota stretches further for office work. See the Price Index.
