Doubao's Free Credits: 8,800 Up for Grabs in 30 Days

Doubao's New Perk: Check In, Cash Out (in Credits)

ByteDance's AI assistant Doubao is handing out free credits like candy. Starting October 30, both new and existing users can earn up to 8,800 credits simply by checking in daily for 30 days. New users get an extra treat: a 30-day free trial of the paid subscription tier, no strings attached.

How the Credits Stack Up

Doubao recently revamped its credit system to make things clearer. The Standard, Enhanced, and Premium tiers now refresh with 2,100, 5,600, and 14,000 credits every 7 days, respectively. That's a big jump from the previous opaque setup, and it gives users a better sense of what they're paying for.

But the real draw is the check-in channel. Every day you log in, you pocket 200 credits. Mondays? Those are double days—400 credits just for showing up. And if you hit cumulative milestones of 500, 2,000, and 5,000 credits, you'll snag bonus rewards of 200, 500, and 1,300 credits, respectively. Do the math: that's up to 8,800 credits over a month, plus extras from experience tasks.

Getting In on the Action

Wondering how to claim your share? It's straightforward. Open the Doubao desktop app or Doubao Work desktop app—look for the pop-up in the lower-left corner, or click your avatar, open the sidebar, and select "Use Doubao for Free." That takes you to the event page where you can check in and complete tasks. The entry point is permanent, so you can come back anytime.

The Fine Print

Before you start dreaming of endless AI magic, a few caveats. The gifted credits expire after 30 days, so use 'em or lose 'em. And if you're not on a paid plan, those free credits won't unlock video generation or Pro models—everything else is fair game. Doubao says more desktop features are on the horizon, so stay tuned.
