Alibaba introduces annual paid subscription for QwenWork AI assistant
Alibaba has introduced paid subscriptions for its workplace AI assistant QwenWork, adding a three-tier membership on Apple’s App Store as it tests demand for paid AI agents after offering the service free during its public test. Annual plans start at 200 yuan and rise to 1,499 yuan. The company will keep its general Qwen AI chatbot free while charging separately for agent functions, citing rising AI infrastructure and inference costs.
