“I, personally, put too much trust in companies owned by trillion dollar organizations and/or backed by a country that doesn't like it when they look bad.”
“I used more than 1 million credits. And they just gave me 15,000. What about our time? We need the credits + time and in my case I have one person in my team that receive an income.”
“le problème de maintenant c'est tout ce que les US a fait avec et en rajouter qui l'empêche de faire serrer capacités ils ont refermé la Sandbox ils ont rendu ça opaque ils ont fait mis dans un ils le font tourner maintenant sur soit sur le PC soit dans un clou de qu'il surveille qu'il bride qu'il modifie et qu'il a comme d'habitude manipule les nouveaux outils qu'ils ont mis comme manus browser et manus bureau ou my computer sont des outils qui leur donnent des permissions très profondes sans que l'on ne remarque quoi que ce soit de plus étant donné que la Sandbox a été fermé et modifié façon de procéder on ne voit même plus à certains moments ce qu'il est codé dans nos appareils”
“We have Mana data/task backups that, despite endless circuitous discussions with Manus chat agents, we are unable to get restored. Does anyone know how to get something done with these folks? They forward off to "specialized teams" and then it's complete radio silence.”
“**One of the worst companies I’ve dealt with.** Manus marked my backup as completed, but my business-critical project data and credits were lost. I spent a week answering repeated support requests, submitted screenshots and screen recordings, yet the core issue was never explained.”
“Do the download to run Claude CLI from the operating system, burns through 5% of the credits compared to using the Manus Prompt menu. Use the terminal to input instructions to Claude, Claude will update the codebase in GitHub, and then you hit “Publish” on Manus”
“To be honest I also s feel like Manus is performing more poorly since the move. Today it was continuing on a web app and gave me some really awful output. Feels like you switched models under the hood to one that has no vision or is weak at vision.”
“I love Manus, and I’ve spent more than a thousand dollars on credits; I was like a kid in the candy shop when they made the tasks unlimited for the past couple of weeks. But now, it keeps looping on the second iterations of some documents I’m generating, and not only it doesn’t get anything done and burns credits, it keeps stopping and saying “Manus might be looping” etc.”
“I was an early tester and fan of Manus long before they were acquired by Meta. They have now returned to independent ownership and operations. Hope they can recover and recreate the original Manus magic.”
“On August 26, 2026, I made a major payment for their service using my Visa Platinum card. However, the system failed to deliver the promised access, and my account remains restricted.”
“Truly embarrassed that I recommended Manus to family and friends as the quality has dropped significantly, wasted $200 of credits in one night for it to produce its own mistakes and spend all my tokens trying to fix it. It's as if a completely new model is trying to understand quality of a far superior model it has no chance of understanding.”
“Je confirme que d’un coup Manus a perdu en qualité ; j’ai l’impression qu’ils ne comprennent pas que la concurrence est la et ils ne sont plus seuls. Je confirme que pendant l’essai manus était meilleur”
“I successfully "restored" my account using the data download they provided, but when I go in - none of my projects are there. Then I go to "restore" again, and now it says my account was already restored.”
“However it was my understanding from reading a bit, that the desktop app makes Manus a much more powerful Agent that can actually work inside your pc with your files, apps ,etc. Am I wrong about this?”
“My concern is whether there is any supported way to recover the missing website without risking, replacing, or disrupting the already restored website.”
“I would recommend for a simple, internal tool, to sync your website with a private GitHub repo, and then host the website and small mySQL database on Railway which I believe has a free version but it’s also only 5$ a month for their lower plan.”
“My restore took 18 hours to do, as I did a complete backdate of everything. It was super smooth & everything is fine & restored perfectly. Manus is the best.”
“i have created a simple CRM system for our company using Manus , it is simple , just stores some data , the steps of each file and some financial reports.”
“We realized Manus was too expensive and too slow, and always jumped straight into production servers, pumping out code without thinking about software architecture or even using git. We switched to ChatGPT/Codex.”
“I find manus require having to really spell everything out and doesn’t use common sense. So if I’m not fully detailed in prompts I alway have to go back and look for those small corrections.”
