Iris vs Manus
Manus is a general AI agent: you give it a goal, and it works for a while on a computer in the cloud, browsing, writing code and delivering a report, a slide deck or a website. Iris is built for your daily life instead: your mail, your agenda, your messages and your home, in conversation.
Where Manus is strong
Manus is good at large, self-contained jobs: research across many sites, a spreadsheet or a presentation from scratch, a small web app. You can watch it work and come back when it is done. It has a free tier with daily credits and paid plans from $20 a month (September 2026).
Where Iris is different
Iris works in your own accounts, on the small things that fill a day: answering a mail, moving an appointment, paying for tickets, reminding you when to leave. It keeps one memory of you across conversations and devices, and you can simply talk to it, on your phone, your Mac or your tv.
Your okay, every time it counts
An agent that acts alone for an hour needs to be trusted with a lot. Iris shows every step and waits for your approval, with Face ID or Touch ID, before it pays, sends or signs in. Each approval covers one action, and passwords stay in a vault the assistant never sees.
Your own space, in Europe
Every Iris account gets its own sealed-off assistant, with its own computer, memory and files, hosted in Europe and shared with no one. Everything it does is written to a log you can read.

Questions
Can Iris do long tasks like Manus?
Yes. Long jobs run on the side while you do something else, and Iris tells you when they are done or when it needs you. It is tuned for personal errands rather than for producing big reports.
Which one is cheaper?
Both have a free tier. Manus charges in credits per task; Iris has fixed plans per person: Start at 20 euros a month, Pro at 40 and Max at 180, with every device included.
Can I use both?
Yes. Use Manus for a one-off research or build project, and Iris for the mail, calendar and errands of every day.
