Research & KnowledgeDone with Manus May 12, 2026
Research and compare SaaS tools and refactor Python
Reviewers had Manus find the top 10 project management tools, compare pricing in a table, and refactor a 400-line Python script that ran cleanly.
- What They Did
- During a three-week review, the testers gave Manus one prompt: find the top 10 SaaS project management tools, compare their pricing, and build a formatted table. Separately, they had it refactor a 400-line Python script through the My Computer desktop app. It found redundant functions, consolidated them, and kept the original logic.
- How It Went
- The research and table took under four minutes, with accurate, current pricing. The refactored script ran cleanly on the first try. Across all multi-step tasks, first-attempt success was about 80%.
- Worth Knowing
- Complex multi-step tasks averaged about 25 credits on the Plus plan (~$39/month). The free tier's roughly 100 credits run out within a day or two.
Try it yourself with Manus
Find the top [number] [type of tool, e.g. project management] tools for [my use case, e.g. a 10-person agency] and compare them in a table covering pricing tiers, key features, and limits, with source links. Then refactor the script I've pasted below for readability and speed without changing its behavior, and run it to confirm it still works. You're done when I have the table, the refactored code, and a short note on what changed. [paste your script]
