Manus

What is Manus?

Manus, from Manus AI in Singapore, is an autonomous general AI agent that the company describes as an action engine: it is designed to complete tasks and deliver results in a sandbox virtual computer with internet access and a persistent file system. On the official pricing page, re-fetched November 14, 2026, our captures showed a Free $0 plan and paid Pro ($20/month) and Max ($200/month) plans; other same-day loads of that page have shown a different plan set. Confirm current prices on manus.im/pricing. AppFor.ai has not created an account.

What you can use Manus for

Manus AI describes Manus as an autonomous general AI agent designed to complete tasks and deliver results, a virtual colleague with its own computer. Official docs say it runs in a complete sandbox environment, a virtual computer with internet access, a persistent file system, and the ability to install software and create custom tools. The company's about page states the mission "To extend human reach" and says, "We build general AI agents as the Action Engine for life." The brand page identifies the company as Manus AI, Singapore.

The official features page lists work such as research, websites, Figma-to-code, games, video, AI slides, Wide Research, a browser operator, Cloud Computer, automations, Mail Manus, and connectors including Gmail, Notion, Slack, and GitHub. Those are Manus's product claims, not a hands-on test by AppFor.ai.

A first workflow to try

Suggested workflow, not a recorded run: open manus.im, create an account if you need one, and in the start prompt describe a bounded task, for example asking Manus to research a public topic and return a short brief, or to build a simple one-page website. If a Free plan is listed on the current pricing page, start there; in our November 14, 2026 captures that plan was $0 with 300 credits a day and Manus 2.0 Lite, with 3 tasks at once and 2 automations. Before you connect email, Slack, or GitHub, read Manus's current terms and only grant the access you need. AppFor.ai has not created an account or run a task.

Plans, credits and access

The official pricing page at manus.im/pricing was re-fetched on November 14, 2026. In the loads we captured, with the Monthly toggle selected, the page showed three consumer cards named Free, Pro, and Max: Free at $0/month with 300 credits/day, Manus 2.0 Lite, research, websites and slides, 3 tasks at once, and 2 automations; Pro at $20/month with 4,000 credits/month, access to Manus 2.0 and 2.0 Max, custom domains for websites, Wide Research, advanced image and video generation, Manus Flex (bring your own keys), 20 tasks at once, and 20 automations; and Max at $200/month with 40,000 credits/month, everything in Pro, pay as you go when credits run out, early access to beta features, and priority support. An annual billing toggle is advertised as a 17% saving; this capture did not produce a stable annual dollar total after the page's animated price counters, so annual totals are not restated here. Team and Enterprise plans are listed separately, without dollar amounts on the cards.

The same official URL has also been observed, on other fresh loads the same day, to render a different set of cards: Standard monthly usage at $20, Customizable monthly usage at $40 (including an 8,000 credits/month option in that capture), and Extended usage for productivity at $200, with no Free $0 card and without the Pro or Max names, and with 300 refresh credits every day, early access to beta, and 20 concurrent / 20 scheduled tasks described on those cards. Because the public pricing page has not rendered a single stable plan table across loads, treat the Free, Pro, and Max figures above as what we could verify in our captures, and confirm the current names, prices, and credit limits on manus.im/pricing before you subscribe.

Official plans documentation says plan credits reset monthly and that add-on credits never expire. This profile does not invent other dollar prices, including annual totals or Team rates. Desktop apps for macOS and Windows and mobile apps for iOS and Android are listed on the official download page.
