Manus vs SuperNinja

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

SuperNinja

• Handing off multi-step research, analysis or coding jobs to run unattended
• Small teams that want to share one pool of credits across seats
• People who want an agent on desktop and mobile as well as the web

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.

SuperNinja

• The free tier is a one-time, limited amount of credits with 1 parallel task and limited models, not a renewing allowance.
• Credit use depends heavily on the task mode: the vendor's example landing-page task costs 33 credits in Standard mode and 644 in Max.
• Pro is capped at 5 seats and 4 parallel tasks; unlimited seats and the data-training opt-out need Business, from $50 a month.
• The monthly credit allowance resets each billing cycle, and subscription and on-demand credits expire when a cancelled plan ends.

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.

SuperNinja

A cloud computer per agent

Each AI employee runs in an isolated cloud virtual machine with a real browser, where it can install software, manage files and run scripts while showing its progress.

Long-running autonomous tasks

Given a goal, SuperNinja plans, runs tools, checks its own work and returns a finished result. Pro allows 4 tasks in parallel and Business removes the limit.

Works from Slack, Teams and WhatsApp

Work can be assigned, reviewed and corrected in a thread in Slack, Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp, in addition to the web, desktop and mobile apps.

Research with citations

Research results come with citations and direct links to the original sources, and the agent shows each step it takes and the reasoning behind it.

Task modes and model choice

Standard, Pro, Expert and Max modes trade cost for capability, drawing on models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and open-source labs. Higher modes use more credits.

3,000+ integrations

A directory of more than 3,000 tools that agents can read from and act on. Built-in connectors for GitHub, Salesforce, Jira and Slack are listed from the Pro plan.
