Agentic AI platform Manus launches a paid plan for teams

Manus, the once-buzzy AI agent platform, on Tuesday launched a plan aimed at small businesses and organizations.

The plan, dubbed Manus Team, starts at $39 per seat per month with a five-seat minimum, totaling $195 per month. Each team gets 19,500 credits in a sharable pool, as well as access to certain features in beta, dedicated infrastructure, and priority access during peak hours.

Credits can be spent on tasks — for example, copying data from a website to a spreadsheet. Lengthier tasks can burn up hundreds — or even thousands — of credits.

Team users can run up to two tasks concurrently and can optionally use Manus’ “high-effort mode” for improved reliability.

Manus, which went viral in March in part thanks to a buzzy social media campaign, has introduced a number of premium offerings in recent weeks as well as a mobile app. The startup behind the platform, Butterfly Effect, reportedly recently raised $75 million in a funding round led by Benchmark that valued the company at $500 million.

According to Bloomberg, Manus aims to expand to new markets, including Japan and the Middle East. The company also intends to continue upgrading the AI models that power its platform. Currently, Manus primarily uses Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet and customized versions of Alibaba’s Qwen.
