Fellou vs Manus (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Fellou if

• Fits if you want a browser that runs a few web tasks for you each month
• Works for someone on a Mac or Windows PC who wants research reports

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you run it often: Plus is about 8 tasks and Pro about 20 a month
• Watch out: the vendor says real use varies from its Sparks estimates
• Not for you if you use Linux, iPhone or Android, as only Mac and Windows builds are listed
• Watch out: Ultra's unlimited Sparks is marked limited time

Pick Manus if

• Fits if you want to hand over a research job and get a finished report back
• Works for teams that want one shared pot of credits and a view of who used what

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, with one task at a time, 2 scheduled tasks and only the Lite model for agent work
• Skip it if metered plans annoy you, because unused monthly credits don't roll over
• Not for you if you want a desktop app on Linux or an Intel Mac, as only Apple Silicon and Windows downloads are listed
• Watch out: the pricing page lists a 40,000-credit Pro tier, but the help center states prices only for the first two
• Pricey if you need SSO on a small team, at a flat $150 below 30 seats

Fellou

Plan first, then act

Fellou turns a goal into an action plan that you can review, approve and edit before it starts executing.

Browser automation

The Browser Use feature automates workflows that span sites, such as scraping data and filling in forms, from a single command.

Deep research reports

It searches across the web, including logged-in accounts such as Reddit, and produces reports with sources you can check.

Computer Use

With permission, the agent can operate local apps and manage files on the desktop, beyond the browser window.

Scheduled tasks

Tasks can run on a schedule; the free plan allows 2, Plus 3 and Pro 5, and Ultra is listed as unlimited for a limited time.

Eko open-source framework

The vendor also publishes Eko 2.0, an open-source framework for building your own agents, documented separately from the browser.

Manus

Agent Mode

Tasks run in a cloud virtual machine that handles file operations, browser automation and code execution. Credits are consumed only while a task is actively processing.

Wide Research

Splits a large research job across many agents working in parallel and returns reports and datasets. The pricing page lists it among the paid Pro features.

Slides, websites and web apps

Generates slide decks from a prompt and builds full-stack web apps with a built-in database, backend and login, which can be deployed and connected to a custom domain.

Browser Operator

A Chrome extension that lets Manus work inside your own browser session, using your existing logins and open tabs once you grant it access.

Scheduled and concurrent tasks

Tasks can run on a schedule and side by side: 2 scheduled tasks and 1 concurrent task on the free plan, 20 of each on Pro.

Connectors and API

Connects to apps such as Gmail, Notion, Slack, Google Calendar and GitHub. A public API can create tasks, send follow-up messages and retrieve results.
