Most Manus AI users overspend by 40-70% on credits. Here are 5 quick wins:
1. Use Standard Mode by Default
Standard handles 70% of tasks perfectly. Only switch to Max for complex reasoning.
2. Clean Your Prompts
Remove unnecessary context. "Write a professional email to John about the meeting" works just as well as a 500-word prompt with background info.
3. Break Complex Tasks
Instead of "Research competitors AND write a report AND create slides", split into 3 separate tasks. The simple ones run on Standard.
4. Batch Similar Tasks
Group similar tasks together. 10 email drafts in one prompt costs less than 10 separate prompts.
5. Install Credit Optimizer
Automates all of the above. Analyzes each prompt and routes to the cheapest model. Free tool.
Credit Optimizer v5 is free and open source. Try it at creditopt.ai
