Manus pricing (2026)

For users running 5+ multi-step autonomous tasks per week, yes. The cost-per-task is dramatically lower than ChatGPT Pro ($200/mo) for equivalent autonomy. For occasional users, ChatGPT Plus or Perplexity Pro at $20/mo each cover most needs at lower cost.

Manus starts at $19/month for the Starter tier (solo operators). There are 2 other tiers — see the full table above for the feature breakdown.

Manus is freemium — there's a free tier with usage caps, and paid tiers unlock higher limits and team features.

For users who run multi-step research tasks weekly, the Starter tier usually pays for itself within the first month. If you only run occasional one-off tasks, look at a cheaper alternative or the free tier (if available) before committing.

Most SaaS vendors in this category — and Manus typically follows the pattern — offer 10–20% off when you pay annually instead of monthly. Check the checkout page for the exact discount; the annual toggle is usually under the pricing tiers on the vendor site.
