Manus AI, the viral AI agent platform out of China, on Monday morning launched two subscription plans starting at $39 per month.
Manus, which is still in beta, is an AI-powered agentic tool that can be used to complete tasks ranging from creating a web page for a wedding invitation to crafting a scoring sheet for a baseball game. In our tests, however, we found that the platform falls short of some of its loftier marketing promises.
The cheaper of Manus’ new premium plans is $39 per month and comes with 3,900 credits and the ability to run two tasks simultaneously. The other, costlier new plan, which costs $199 per month, grants users 19,900 credits, the ability to run five tasks simultaneously, and priority access during peak hours.
Premium Manus subscribers can buy extra credits if they need with top-up packs. The prices for these weren’t immediately clear.
“While we’re working hard around the clock to scale our infrastructure and accommodate everyone, we’ve had to temporarily limit access to Manus during our this development phase,” Manus wrote in a post on X. “We are also working on optimizing our current usage rates to provide better value for our users.”
In other upgrades to its platform today, Manus released an iOS app and upgraded the AI model powering its backend to Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
