Doubao launches 30-day free subscription and daily credit rewards for users

On October 30, 2026, Doubao, ByteDance's AI assistant, introduced a 30-day free subscription for both new and existing users. New users can access a free trial package through the Doubao desktop app, gaining access to paid-subscription features. The initiative also includes a daily check-in system, offering 200 credits per day, with double the amount on Mondays. Users can accumulate up to 8,800 credits by checking in for 30 consecutive days. Additional rewards are available at credit milestones of 500, 2,000, and 5,000, granting 200, 500, and 1,300 credits respectively. Doubao also updated its credit system, aligning subscription tiers with specific credit allocations: Standard (2,100 credits every 7 days), Enhanced (5,600 credits), and Premium (14,000 credits). Credits expire after 30 days and can be used for all features except video generation and Pro models for non-subscribers. The company emphasized that the desktop version will introduce more features in the future, continuing the trend of using free benefits to boost user engagement.
