Partially. Manus has a free tier with 300 daily credits, but credits vary per task (1-5+ each). Paid plans run $19-199/month. If you want free without credits, Doozy has no credit system.

How Manus pricing works

Manus gives you 300 credits per day on free. A simple task might cost 1 credit. A complex research task might cost 5+. You can't predict the cost until the task runs.

Paid plans: $19/month (1,900 credits), $39/month (double), $199/month (19,900 credits). Credits refresh monthly.

Doozy has no credit system. You pay your AI provider directly at cost via BYO keys. No credits to run out.
