Price and access
Check the current plan before paying
This tool mainly requires a paid plan. Check the official site before committing, because plans and usage limits can change.
Plans for this tool change often. The official page above is the current source for pricing and limits.
What it helps with and what to check
Good tasks to start with
- Delegating a bounded multi-step task
- Research workflows that produce reviewable artifacts
Keep an eye on
- Inspect its plan before external actions
- Do not grant broad account access for a one-off task
How to start
Tick each step as you work. These checks stay on this page only; they do not verify results in the external tool.

Prepare two public sources and a clean browser
Compare these two W3C pages: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/contrast-minimum.html and https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/contrast-enhanced.html. Use a separate practice task with no private files or connected services. In Settings → Cloud Browser → Logged-in Accounts, inspect saved sessions. Do not use a work-account session or Browser Operator for this exercise. If you cannot confirm the setup, read the sources manually and continue in the worksheet.
Ask for a table with the same columns
At the official Manus task entry, paste both URLs and ask: “Read only these public pages. Make exactly two rows with columns: criterion number, level, normal-text ratio, large-text ratio, exceptions, source URL and a short supporting passage. Keep each passage attached to its row. Mark retrieval failures as not retrieved; do not fill them from memory. Do not log in, submit forms, contact anyone or use connected accounts.” This request does not require a large Wide Research run or a special mode button.
Check that AA and AAA were not mixed
Open each source yourself. The reference rows are 1.4.3 / AA / 4.5:1 / 3:1 and 1.4.6 / AAA / 7:1 / 4.5:1. Both pages list incidental-text and logotype exceptions. Check the Success Criterion section, not just a number found elsewhere in the explanation: the pages discuss other ratios too. These rows are an authored answer key checked against W3C, not observed Manus output.
Repair one row without losing the source
If a row gives AAA’s 7:1 threshold to AA, ask Manus to correct that row using its own cited passage, then compare it with the source again. If a source was not retrieved, leave that row incomplete or fill it yourself and label it manually checked. Keep a record of which cells you changed. A complete-looking table can still have two confident mistakes wearing matching uniforms.
Keep the comparison useful and limited
Put the two checked rows, supporting passages, URLs, reading date and unresolved questions into the document-summary worksheet below. State that this compares two text-contrast criteria only: no actual colors were measured and no whole-site accessibility conformance was assessed. Use the research Task when preparing a later source-backed brief. If Manus asks for login or account control, stop this public-source exercise rather than expanding its access.
