Hyperagent vs Manus

Hyperagent

• Teams that want recurring research or reporting run by agents on a schedule
• Agencies and consultancies keeping client work in separate workspaces
• People who want agents they can reach from Slack, Telegram or email

Manus

• Handing off multi-step research and getting a finished report back
• Producing slide decks, websites and simple web apps from a prompt
• Teams that want pooled credits and usage analytics

Hyperagent

• The billing documentation describes no free plan or free trial; plans start at $20 a month, charged up front.
• Plan credit does not roll over: unused credit expires at the end of each billing period, and runs pause when it is spent unless you top up.
• Pay As You Go and annual plans were discontinued on August 26, 2026, so billing is monthly only.
• The Slack assistant needs a workspace on a paid Slack plan, and the only mobile app listed is for iPhone and iPad.

Manus

• Usage is metered in credits, and unused monthly credits do not roll over to the next cycle.
• Free accounts are limited to the Manus 2.0 Lite model in Agent Mode, 1 concurrent task and 1,500 daily-refresh credits a month.
• The pricing page lists Pro tiers of 4,000, 8,000 and 40,000 credits a month; the help center states prices only for the first two.
• The macOS desktop download is labeled for Apple Silicon, and no Linux app is listed.

Hyperagent

Agents with their own computer

Each agent has a name, instructions, tools, knowledge and its own computing environment, where it can drive a live browser, run code and work with files and repositories.

Many ways to start a run

An agent can be invoked from a thread, Slack, Telegram, an email address of its own, a webhook, an MCP client such as Claude or Cursor, another agent or a recurring schedule.

Live Mode

Keeps an agent on a checklist so it checks for changes at an interval, stays quiet while all is well and alerts you only when something needs attention.

Published deliverables

Agents publish reports, dashboards and slide decks as versioned pages with public URLs, and can generate images, short video, speech and maps.

Memories, skills and rubrics

Agents propose memories and reusable skills from their runs for you to accept or dismiss, and rubrics score real work against a standard you define.

Workspaces and Shared Billing

Workspaces scope shared agents, skills and memories with roles for each member, and an owner can move invited members onto one organization payment method.

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.
