Doubao officially announced its paid version, with subscriptions priced at 68 yuan, 200 yuan, and 500 yuan per month.

CoinFeed reported on May 4th that Doubao's App Store page displayed a notice regarding a paid version service, indicating plans to launch a paid version with value-added services on top of the free service. The notice shows three subscription tiers: Standard version at 68 yuan per month (688 yuan per year), Enhanced version at 200 yuan per month (2048 yuan per year), and Professional version at 500 yuan per month (5088 yuan per year). Doubao officially responded that the free service will continue to be offered, with paid features primarily targeting complex tasks and high-productivity scenarios, such as PPT generation, data analysis, and film production. Sources close to Doubao revealed that as model capabilities are upgraded, complex and high-value tasks require more computing power and inference time, hence the introduction of paid services to meet this demand. As a core large-scale model under ByteDance, Doubao has previously operated on a free model for a long time.
