Sprawl vs Manus
Sprawl runs it for you — your accounts, your projects
Manus describes itself as “Less structure, more intelligence”; see manus.im for what it does today. Sprawl takes its own approach: you describe an outcome in plain English and Sprawl provisions an agent that runs the work for you across 100+ integrations and 500+ tools, on a schedule or from event-based triggers. Run a separate project for everything you operate, each with its own fleet of agents on its own connected accounts — a different Gmail, Slack, or X per project. Whether Sprawl fits you depends on how you’d like the work to get done.
What Sprawl does
- Tell Sprawl the outcome in plain English and it provisions an agent that runs the work for you — built for you to hand off, not a chat you have to drive or a canvas you have to wire up.
- Run a separate project for everything you operate — each with its own fleet of agents on its own connected accounts (a different Gmail, Slack, or X per project). Agency-grade isolation, for everything you run.
- Connects to 100+ integrations across 500+ tools, on a schedule or from event-based triggers, so recurring work happens on its own.
- Runs on 200+ models across ~25 providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more, so you’re never locked to a single lab.
- Runs what you trust and checks with you on the rest — money, deletions, and first-time external messages always ask first.
- Sprawl is prepaid, with no subscription — $3 of usage free to start, then add balance from $5 whenever you want more. A typical automation run costs 6¢ to 16¢, and your balance never expires.
How Sprawl approaches this
Manus describes itself as “Less structure, more intelligence”; see manus.im for its current capabilities.
Built for you, not built by you
You describe the outcome; Sprawl provisions the agent and runs it for you. There’s no chat to babysit and no canvas to design or maintain — the work just gets done.
A fleet per project, isolated by account
Run many projects at once, each with its own agents on its own connected accounts — a different Gmail, Slack, or X per project. The isolation agencies keep per client, for everything you run.
Automations that run themselves
Save a request as a scheduled run or fire it from an event-based trigger, so recurring work happens without you in the loop.
The right model for each job
Sprawl runs on 200+ models across ~25 providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more, so every task uses the model that fits — you’re never locked to one lab.
Who Sprawl is for
Sprawl is built for operators, agencies, and anyone running more than one thing at once: describe an outcome and Sprawl provisions an agent to run it for you, with a separate project and its own connected accounts for each thing you operate. It’s free to start — $3 of usage, no card — and you add balance only when you want more. For what Manus does today and its current pricing, see manus.im; those details change often. You can use both together if you like.
