Our Commitment to Transparent Pricing
At Manus, we are committed to transparent and straightforward pricing. The subscription prices displayed on our website are the base rates for our services and currently, the membership prices for Manus on both mobile and web platforms are consistent.
However, you may notice that the final amount charged is slightly higher than the advertised price. If you're experiencing higher prices on the mobile platform, it may be due to local taxes in your region. You can check your payment details to confirm if there are any tax-related price differences. This is typically due to taxes or fees required by your local government or financial institution, which are outside of Manus's control.
This article explains the most common reasons for additional charges to help you understand your invoice.
Common Reasons for Additional Charges
While our membership prices are consistent across all platforms, the final charge may vary. Here are the most common reasons:
Type of Charge | Description | Who is Responsible? |

These taxes are collected by our payment processors (Stripe, Apple, Google) and remitted to the appropriate tax authorities. |
Currency Conversion Fees | If you pay in a currency that is different from the one your bank account is denominated in, your bank may charge a fee for converting the currency. | Your Bank or Card Issuer. This is a standard practice for international transactions and is not a fee from Manus. |
Foreign Transaction Fees | Some banks or credit card companies charge a fee for any transaction processed outside of your home country. | Your Bank or Card Issuer. This fee is part of your cardholder agreement and is not controlled by Manus. |
