Manus AI, the viral AI agent platform out of China<\/a>, on Monday morning launched<\/a> two subscription plans starting at $39 per month.<\/p>\n 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<\/a>. <\/p>\n The cheaper of Manus\u2019 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. <\/p>\n Premium Manus subscribers can buy extra credits if they need with top-up packs. The prices for these weren\u2019t immediately clear. <\/p>\n \u201cWhile we\u2019re working hard around the clock to scale our infrastructure and accommodate everyone, we\u2019ve had to temporarily limit access to Manus during our this development phase,\u201d Manus wrote in a post on X<\/a>. \u201cWe are also working on optimizing our current usage rates to provide better value for our users.\u201d<\/p>\n In other upgrades to its platform today, Manus released an iOS app<\/a> and upgraded the AI model powering its backend to Anthropic\u2019s Claude 3.7 Sonnet<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
