Pros and cons

Manus

Pros

  • Handles end-to-end tasks, from research to finished slides or web apps, in one workflow.
  • Available on web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, with an API and Slack integration.
  • Free tier needs no credit card and refreshes 300 credits daily.
  • Broad connector support, including MCP servers and Zapier access to 8,000+ apps.
  • Parallel sub-agent research through Wide Research.

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing makes costs hard to predict; complex tasks can drain monthly credits quickly.
  • Official pricing page is not readable without JavaScript, and third-party and App Store prices differ.
  • Ownership and corporate structure have been unsettled after the Meta deal was ordered unwound.
  • Free tier allows only one concurrent task.

Opera Neon

Pros

  • Combines chat, browser actions, research and content creation in one browser rather than a separate extension.
  • Neon Do shows its plan and actions in real time and can be paused or taken over.
  • Wide model choice across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and open-weight models on the Standard plan.
  • MCP connector and CLI let external agents such as Claude Code or n8n use a live browser session.
  • Credentials, passwords and card details are stated to stay on the device, and Opera says it does not train on user data.
  • Free VPN and ad blocker are included in the browser.

Cons

  • Full agentic features need the $19.90 per month Standard plan, higher than many AI add-ons.
  • Windows and macOS only; no Linux, iOS or Android version yet.
  • Neon Do uses cloud LLMs to plan, and page content is sent to Opera and OpenAI servers with 365-day retention.
  • Opera itself calls Neon an experimental agentic browser, so behaviour and plan limits may change.
