Just now, Qwen has launched its paid version.

On the evening of August 10, the Qwen App under Alibaba launched the Professional Membership for Office Assistant feature and the corresponding paid plans for video generation, becoming the second domestic leading AI application to explore paid services after Doubao.

The professional membership of Qwen App is mainly designed for Office Assistant, divided into three tiers: Premium, Elite, and Flagship. The monthly continuous subscription price for Premium membership is 19 yuan, and the annual continuous subscription price is 200 yuan; the monthly continuous subscription price for Elite membership is 49 yuan, and the annual continuous subscription price is 568 yuan; the monthly continuous subscription price for Flagship membership is 128 yuan, and the annual continuous subscription price is 1499 yuan. Users can subscribe to the membership by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the "Office Assistant" interface of Qwen App.

The charging for its video generation quota corresponds to 5 tiers, namely 26 yuan for 10 quotas, 116 yuan for 50 quotas, 228 yuan for 100 quotas, 438 yuan for 200 quotas, 968 yuan for 500 quotas. Users can enter the "AI Video Generation" function of Qwen App, click Quota Management to purchase quotas.

All three tiers of "Office Assistant" membership can access the latest Qwen flagship model; support local and cloud modes, remote operation via mobile phones; support skill and connector capabilities, and allow independent creation; can directly deliver files such as web pages, applications, PPT, Word, Excel, images, etc.; support AI PPT.

The difference lies in the quota: the three tiers of membership support 2x, 5x, 20x quotas respectively.

In addition, in the video generation function of Qwen App, users have 10 free quotas per day, and video generation beyond the quota requires payment. It can be seen on the subscription interface that the current charging standard for video generation quotas is a preferential price, and the validity period is 3 months after purchase.

The normal charging standard for video generation is 45 yuan for 10 quotas, 225 yuan for 50 quotas, 450 yuan for 100 quotas, 900 yuan for 200 quotas, 2250 yuan for 500 quotas.

The same point as the professional version launched by Doubao on June 24 this year is that the professional versions of Qwen App and Doubao both support office functions.

Qwen App Office Assistant can connect to users' memo, calendar, email and other applications, operate computers and browsers to help users open web pages to search for information, download attachments, etc., and can also call various Skills to independently complete multi-step tasks.

Doubao's office task mode supports capabilities such as operating local computers, using browsers, calling Skills and scheduled tasks, has a built-in Office suite, and can also be used for image design, video design, and generation of shared application websites.

The difference is that the subscription mode of Qwen App separates office and video generation, while Doubao's professional version includes both.

Conclusion:

Doubao and Qwen Paid Professional Versions Launched One After Another

Major Tech Giants Target the Office Scenario

Doubao and Qwen App have successively launched professional paid memberships targeting the productivity track, which means that leading tech giants are now accelerating the implementation of tiered paid models, using the free version to meet the public's daily Q&A needs, and the professional version relies on hardcore capabilities such as flagship models, agent task scheduling, local file processing, and complex document parsing to target professional productivity scenarios.

In addition, the recent moves of major tech giants also show that office has become a must-win battlefield. Since late July, three Internet giants including ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have increased their investment in AI office, breaking the barriers between dialogue entrances, documents, spreadsheets, local programs, and industry-specific workflows, enabling AI to undertake the full closed-loop work link.
