Who would trust it? Look at all the "I signed up for the free trial and got billed for a year" posts we've had here.

A bunch of people reached out to me after that, and it got me thinking: what if Manus offered paying users 15 days of Manus Free? I feel like that could give a lot of people some breathing room to get their projects organized and figure out where they stand.

NegativeSecurity & permissions

Trying to download it to install it, Opera GX blocked the download, it gave me a virus detected warning, I couldn't even check with Microsoft Defender and McAfee (I also use it for analysis), I think the best is not to take the risk.

Intentado descargarlo para poder instalarlo, Opera GX me bloqueo la descarga, me dio un aviso de virus detectado, ni siquiera pude comprobar con Microsoft Defender y McAffe (tambien lo uso para analisis), creo que lo mejor es no arriesgarse.

Thanks Leo but Manus itself warned me not to download any other version than the one the Manus Team will provide me. I already downloaded CUE but that did not help either.

Hello my Manus Desktop refuses to work it says “Desktop operation blocked” and “Computer Operator older than 0.6.0” I have tried several times to download the new version from the Manus web portal but what it does is launch the Microsoft Store once there the version clearly says version 1.7 from 2025. I have tried searching all over the place for version 2.0 but it is nowhere to be found can you please share with me the direct link for download please

I really love Manus and I have tasks that I need to access critically - 3 days of no relief

Yesterday I got locked out of Manus and logged back in to 2.0. All my tasks now appear white and I cannot scroll. Help has said your issue is resolved - it isn’t and I have logged out and back in - restarted all apps - they are happy yo take all my money but no help…

NegativeResults & quality

Sorry it doesn’t and I’m done with Manus. I was a huge supporter of them and tried to stay positive through the transition but they have completely ruined it for me.

NegativePrice & limits

When I used the prompt to fix it inside Manus, the work it did using 2.0 used in insane amounts of credits to get done on 2 projects.

I used a prompt from Claude recently to inspect the security of my software built in Manus. It found multiple security problems.

This is building on Manus 2.0, I’ve used Lite in the past but too many errors.

NegativeWorkflow & integrationsResults & quality

They broke their software, broke my work flow, I can’t use Manus….what a mess.

NegativeEase of use

I pinned those chats and they don’t appear under my projects but I can make them display sometimes.

NegativeReliability

My most important agent chats are no longer functioning. I can find them by searching my profile for key words and then when I try to continue with the chat it just says it’s Working but hangs.

NegativeResults & qualityPrice & limitsReliability

I moved my businesses for three reasons: poor customer service, poor Manus performance and exorbitant cost.

NegativeEase of useWorkflow & integrations

It would be nice if Manus mentioned that before telling me to go download their app....while disabling the old Agent that I've been using so heavily.

you can only use it if you have been invited to the closed beta!

NegativePrice & limits

The main reason why I can never rely on Manus is their credit system. I have no idea how much they will charge me, and whether the output will meet my requirements or if I'll have to keep paying them indefinitely.

NegativePrice & limits

This is a huge deal considering I've moved to Muse, Grok, and a competitors due to your pricing model

NegativeEase of use

Avoid the agent like the plague. Switch models in TASKS.

Manus is great however it needs to be MANAGED as the agent will try to get you to default to use the max agent. That will eat up all of your credits very swiftly, you don't need that level for a website.

NegativeEase of use

Like what other service do we need to prove our prior and current balance with as much angst as Manus. Having to screen record tasks is a little exhausting

NegativeReliability

mine went from 600,000 to 2,000 overnight. The only incident was the renewal date. No jobs to swallow 600,000 credits

NegativeEase of use

No, you ask me task ID.. what the heck is task ID..I have given you everything that was needed to resolve the issue. you are giving vague instruction.. why the heck you need task ID when all you have to do is scroll up on the chat window and everything is there. plus i dont even know where to look up task ID.. manus leadership and customer support is insane.
