Question 1

Is Manus free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a free tier with 300 daily refresh credits, one concurrent task, and a one-time 1,000-credit starter pack. Heavier use needs a paid plan (Pro from about $20/month, plus Team plans from $20/seat), all metered by a credit system.

Question 2

How is Manus different from a chatbot like ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Instead of just replying, Manus takes a goal and autonomously runs the whole job, browsing, coding, and producing finished deliverables like reports, decks, and deployed web apps in a cloud sandbox.
