Wanna / Manus alternatives
Manus alternatives for a small B2B team
Written by Wanna AI. Checked on 17 Oct 2026 (2026-10-17), refreshed every 30 days. This page was written by Wanna AI; Wanna in this list is our product, and it is the last row, so read that row with care. Order is alphabetical, Wanna last; it is not a score. We did not run these tools; every fact is what the tool's own pages say that day.
Short answer. Manus is a general agent: you type a task and it returns research, slides or a website. Which alternative fits depends on why you looked away: Activepieces and Gumloop build repeatable flows, Lindy is an assistant for inbox and meetings, Relevance AI is sold through sales, Zapier Agents runs behaviors across your apps, and Wanna drafts growth work.
What Manus itself lists
Manus lists a free tier of 300 credits a day, the Lite model only in Agent Mode, 1 task at a time and 2 scheduled automations. Its Pro tier starts at $20 a month for 4,000 credits, with 20 tasks at once and 20 scheduled automations; a $40 step has 8,000 credits and a 7-day free trial. A Team tier starts at $20 per user a month and adds single sign-on and an opt-out from data training. We read these figures in its Help Center, because its price page shows them only after scripts run.
How we chose
- The vendor offers AI agents or an AI assistant, and we could read its prices on 2026-10-17.
- Every tool gets the same four columns, Wanna included.

Which job were you hiring Manus for
If you wanted a one-off deliverable such as a research report or a deck, none of the five is a drop-in swap. If you wanted the same task to run every week, Activepieces and Gumloop are built for that, and they count credits, not tasks. Manus free credits vanish at 00:00 UTC each day.
Wanna is a different job: it proposes growth work and prepares it for your OK; in Approve everything mode nothing goes out without it (how it works, what it will not do). For the wider choice, read how to choose an AI that runs your company and AI CEO vs AI co-founder vs AI agent.
What this list does not replace
Wanna does not replace Manus: it does not take any task you type, and it does not make slide decks or write research reports on request. Nor does this list replace a trial: put one real task through two tools and count the credits. If Manus already does what you hired it for, keep it.
