What the credits and limits mean
Genspark
Credits pay for AI tasks. Core AI Chat and Image models are included without credits, while flagship models use credits. There is also a weekly Free Quota for Standard mode. Arithmetic from the listed figures: Plus monthly is $24.99 / 10,000, about 0.25 cents per credit; Pro monthly is $249.99 / 125,000, about 0.2 cents per credit.
Credits reset each billing cycle, so unused credits don't carry over. Annual plans still grant credits monthly, not all at once.
Manus
Credits are used up by LLM tokens, virtual machine time and third-party APIs. Manus refunds credits when a run fails because of the platform. Arithmetic from the listed figures: Pro works out to $20 / 4,000 = 0.5 cents per credit. How many credits a given task uses is not in our data.
Monthly credits do not roll over. Add-on credits do roll over while you stay subscribed. Your balance can go negative, which is an overage risk to watch on long tasks.
Which is cheaper for what
- Entry paid plan: Manus Pro is $20 per month for 4,000 credits. Genspark Plus is $24.99 per month ($19.99 annual) for 10,000 credits. Credits are each vendor's own unit and aren't equal, so more credits doesn't automatically mean more work.
- Price per credit, arithmetic only: Manus Pro works out to 0.5 cents per credit and Genspark Plus monthly to about 0.25 cents. Again, the credits aren't interchangeable.
- Teams: Genspark Team is $40 per seat per month ($35 annual). Manus has a Team plan, but its price isn't in our data.
- Data quality: Manus figures are partially verified, taken from its help center because the pricing page loads only with JavaScript. Genspark figures come from its official help center.
Partial data: Manus figures are only partly confirmed from vendor sources. Treat missing prices as unknown, not zero.
