I just used for research and it’s terrible. Credits don’t get you much. Having a hard time turning my subscription off. Much better options out there.
It just doesn’t work anymore and their credit system is absolutely bonkers. If you try to do one deep research you end up using the whole pro plan, then you have to literally audit every week. You have to go back and find which ones of the chats were charged turn those in and they give you some of it back every week. It’s awful.

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Manus - AI Agent & Automation?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to Manus - AI Agent & Automation if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
