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 Spinrun for work that repeats: as many schedules and webhooks as the work needs rather than 20, and agents that share data and answer to your whole team.

- You need more than 20 scheduled tasks, or one that runs every few minutes

Spinrun vs Manus, your questions.
Is Spinrun a Manus alternative?
For recurring work, yes. Manus shines at one-off deliverables. Spinrun agents own jobs that repeat, on a schedule or a webhook.
Does Spinrun use credits like Manus?
No. Spinrun has no credits. Your agents run on your own ChatGPT or Claude plan or on your API key.
Can I hand Spinrun a to-do list?
Yes. Write or dictate what you have in mind to the Foreman, the assistant that runs your agents. It hands each task to the right agent, proposes a new agent when none can do it, and keeps what only you can do in your task list.
How many scheduled tasks can I run on Spinrun?
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 Spinrun agents browse the web and build files?
Yes. They search, drive a browser, take over a desktop for apps with no API, and write files on your workspace’s private machine, and can publish a file to a public link.
