Pick Manus if…
you want an agent that goes off and does research or web work for you, often several jobs at once, and want a middle tier between entry and heavy use.
Both sell 'give it a task and walk away'. Manus is the general agent that plans, browses and completes multi-step jobs; Genspark routes across 70+ models to produce slides, docs, images and video from one prompt.
Pick Manus ($20/mo) to delegate research and multi-step web tasks, with scheduled tasks and many concurrent runs. Pick Genspark ($24.99/mo) if you mainly want finished deliverables — decks, documents, images, video — from one subscription.

Both burn credits fast on heavy work: complex tasks on Manus, video and voice calls on Genspark. Genspark's free core chat and image generation on Plus is a promotion that runs through December 2026, so judge it on what's left after that. Manus also carries ownership uncertainty after Chinese regulators ordered Meta's acquisition unwound.
Manus Pro ($20/mo) is a little cheaper than Genspark Plus ($24.99/mo), though credits aren't comparable between the two. Above that, Manus has Pro+ while Genspark jumps to $249.99/mo.
Manus Team pools credits across seats and includes SSO, admin controls and audit logs (2-seat minimum). Genspark Team gives 12,000 credits per seat with no rollover, for 2–150 seats.
Yes, both refresh credits daily: 300 on Manus with one task at a time, about 100 on Genspark.
