About Manus+

Manus is an AI agent that takes a request and works through it in the background, producing research reports, slides, websites and other files. It has a free daily credit allowance and paid plans based on credits. Its ownership has been unsettled during 2026 (a Meta acquisition announced in late 2025 was blocked by China and then being unwound), so do some due diligence before using it with any sensitive information.

Pricing: Reported by third-party reviews: Free with about 300 credits a day; Pro from US$20 per month for 4,000 credits; Team from US$20 per seat per month with a 2-seat minimum; annual billing about 17% cheaper. Credits are consumed per action, so costs vary. The official pricing page did not load, so these figures are not confirmed.

The product is AI: an agent that plans and carries out tasks using underlying models.

Data & privacy+

Manus lists a trust centre (trust.manus.im) and a privacy policy, which were not read in this research. Training use, retention and hosting were not confirmed. Reports in 2026 say Meta began separating from Manus and halting data sharing after Beijing ordered the deal unwound; the exact current ownership was not confirmed. Treat as unsuitable for sensitive data until you have checked the trust centre and terms.

How sure are we?+

The vendor's pages couldn't be fully checked. Treat details as a starting point and confirm with the vendor. Prices and nonprofit programs change often, so check with Manus before you commit. Rankings on Nonprofit Tools are never for sale.
