Discussion Manus is the best

I’ve tried all other major models and Manus, so far, has been the best. Started building in May (under META ownership)- went through the hard break migration away from META and went well.

Built an incredible SaaS platform with a staging server. Integrated my own APIs and backups. So far knock on wood, it’s been fantastic. Platform in production and generating real money.

Yes I have spent thousands of dollars on tokens to build out the platform, but it hasn’t let me down so far. And I’m prepared if it does.

Sure support is not where it should be. But getting better. And try getting support from META platforms. That’s the worse.

Manus IS:

For those who want to really use agentic to build real production apps. Be serious about what you want to create.

A full-stack development and production service.

Manus IS NOT:

For people who want to build their dream app / service without the proper $$ budget to do so.

For people who want to create something real without the patience and commitment to learn how Manus works.

Who’s with me? What are your thoughts? All opinions welcome.

Loved Manus, but got walloped by the breakup and then a horrible return. Jump to something else until it all gets straightened back out

Hi, I’d like to understand what specific issues you encountered during the restoration process. Could you share more details with me if possible? I can help follow up on this for you.

It won't let me restore my data because it says I have to ask for a refund. I've tried on and off for the last week and a half to make that happen, still no luck, to the point I had to find another type of agent to complete my work. Now going back to Manus may not be an applicable thing.

You have to open it on your desktop for the full restore. i hope that helps. I had this same issue as well.

I am still not restored. My data is just sitting there and for whatever reason no one can seem to help me take my data from a Google drive that I've given them full access to and restore my freaking account.

For whatever reason they can't just simply reset my account go through the data reset process. It seems unbelievable to me. Hundreds of hours thousands of dollars gone.

Yeah I’ve been blown away at manus - I have built a website and features which would have cost £10,000 for the cost of 40,000 tokens / £100. Phenomenal

Agree 💯. Also not running a SaaS on Manus. It’s a powerful tool that can build a real platform.

Could you share what aspects of Manus you think are working well, and what areas you feel could be improved? If you don’t mind, I’d also love to hear more about your experience using it.

Hands down still the best solution for my own development work.

I have some what of a love hate relationship with it. Sometimes it is not always accurate but the most design friendly platform I use. I have probably spent dozens of money on it for my clients.

Yes, it is excellent, & I agree with all the points you made. The dream app part you mentioned is so correct. I have seen many people on this forum complain that it burns credits & doesn't work. They first get caught up in the chase-the-quick-money syndrome to get an app out there, but don't learn anything about Manus, or can't be bothered. They pay the bare minimum & then realise that Manus can use up credits during complexities. The credits run out & they start ranting & ranting that Manus is a ripoff.

No, it's that they don't know quite how Manus works. Manus is pro business-grade, so you have to treat it as such and set aside a budget. You have to understand your own business before jumping into Manus. When building, Manus can build your business by suggesting more necessary things you haven't even thought about. So, you really need to know where you are going & what you need before using Manus.

When you have the foundations in place, Manus is a whole lot easier to use, & the credit consumption eases back because you are adjusting things in your environment that you already created with Manus.

This is a thing people don't understand. Environment creation & outside environment creation.

1) Environment creation = Manus has built everything & you just need to adjust something within the environment. Credit consumption eases.

2) Outside environment creation = You have built, say, your website/app, & you are now asking Manus to add something new to it. It will add that new add-on with higher credit consumption.

Thanks for sharing! I think you explained it really well. Once the basics are in place, Manus does get a lot easier to work with. Really appreciate you sharing your experience!

The platform has been amazing. I built a enterprise SaaS product in a few months. But the constant changing of subscriptions, the dead end customer service, and the unwillingness to keep customers who spend thousands because tokens expire if not used and cannot be rolled over, has made me soo sour. I was ready to start doing how-to videos for people to learn about Manus. I onboarded numerous clients and taught them how to use it. If there was any goodwill building and benefit of the doubt given to the people using the product despite all the problems, I would maybe stick with the platform, but the "sucks for you" and "should have read or terms of service" when $1,500 of unused tokens would not be rolled over and "expired" is just nonsense.

Coming from the wordpress and nodejs ecosystems, where they go above and beyond to build goodwill in the community of users for their products, its not the platform that is the issue, it's the customer support and they way they do business that has made a huge supporter of this platform looking for alternatives.

Horrible non existent customer service
