Pros & cons
Strengths
- A free plan with 300 daily refresh credits
- Pro includes Agent Mode with the Manus 2.0 Max, Manus 2.0 and Manus 2.0 Lite models
- Pro lists advanced research, website deployment, slide generation and Wide Research
- Team adds SSO, a data-training opt-out, usage analytics and internal access control
- Annual billing carries a 17% discount, per the help center
Limitations
- The free plan allows 1 concurrent task and 2 scheduled automations
- In Agent Mode the free plan has Manus 2.0 Lite only; the Max and standard 2.0 models are Pro features
- Usage is credit-based. Plan credits reset monthly and extra credit packs are sold separately
- Ownership has been in flux: Meta announced a deal to acquire Manus in December 2025, and in August 2026 Manus said it was returning to independent operation. Yahoo Finance reports the long-term owner is not settled
- Manus said some users in certain regions would have data created after 2025-12-29 deleted (backup open until 2026-08-22). Check the current data terms before putting sensitive work in
