On May 4, Doubao revised its paid service policy as displayed on its App Store page, confirming that it would maintain a free version while introducing a paid subscription model offering enhanced value-added services tailored to professional users. The subscription tiers are categorized into three levels: Standard at 68 yuan per month, Enhanced at 200 yuan per month, and Professional at 500 yuan per month. Presently, no paid options or features are available within Doubao’s products. Company officials have clarified that the specifics of these plans are still undergoing testing, with full details to be disclosed upon the official rollout. Insiders familiar with Doubao’s strategy reveal that the premium features will concentrate on complex tasks and productivity-oriented scenarios, including PPT creation, data analysis, and film and television production. Meanwhile, the free version will persist in addressing users’ everyday requirements.
