The short answer

Pick Manus for one-off deliverables, like deep research, a slide deck or a website, which its general agent is built for, and for Wide Research across many sources at once. Pick Rerun for work that repeats: as many schedules and webhooks as the work needs rather than 20, agents that share data and answer to your whole team, for $29 a month instead of credits per task.

Choose Manus if

  • You need one-off research, slides or a website
  • You want Wide Research across many sources at once
  • You run a few tasks a month and would rather pay per use

Choose Rerun if

  • The work repeats every day or on every event
  • You need more than 20 scheduled tasks, or one that runs every few minutes
  • You do not want every task to spend credits
  • Several agents should share data and hand work to each other

Key differences

Four differences that change your day to day, shown on the real product.

Recurring work without a cap

Automate a task

Every Manus plan stops at 20 scheduled tasks and 20 running at a time, on the $20, the $40 and the $200 tier alike. Rerun agents take as many schedules and webhooks as the work needs, down to the minute, on the same flat plan, and one Routines list shows what runs next, with pause and run now.

Every Manus task spends credits: $20 a month buys 4,000, plus 300 refreshed each day. Rerun never counts tasks: agents run on your ChatGPT or Claude plan, your own key, or the included credit.

A team of agents

See how it learns

Manus keeps context by running a schedule inside the same task, or by sharing a Project’s files and connectors. On Rerun, several agents each own a job, keep their own memory and skills, and share one folder, one database and one company brain. Tell the Foreman what you have in mind and it hands each task to the right agent.

FAQ

Rerun vs Manus, your questions.

Is Rerun a Manus alternative?

For recurring work, yes. Manus shines at one-off deliverables. Rerun agents own jobs that repeat, on a schedule or a webhook, for one flat price.

Does Rerun use credits like Manus?

No. Rerun never counts tasks. The plan includes a small credit for the models Rerun hosts, and agents on your own ChatGPT or Claude plan or key cost nothing extra on Rerun’s side.

Can I hand Rerun a to-do list?

How many scheduled tasks can I run on Rerun?

As many as the work needs: each agent can have several schedules and webhooks, down to the minute. Every Manus plan stops at 20 scheduled tasks and 20 running at a time.

Can Rerun agents browse the web and build files?
