Practitioner note

Team/Enterprise plans add SSO-style admin, audit logs and a no-training commitment; use those rather than personal plans for work data. Recheck contracts and data location after the September 2026 ownership transition.

Warning

Manus: Manus announced it resumed independent operations on 2026-09-01; the transition involved data backup/restore and a temporary interruption to access.
