WorkBuddy pricing: Free vs Pro
Two tiers, the product's own figures in US dollars. Free costs nothing; Pro is US$10 a month or US$96 a year. No invented ringgit price — RM invoicing is arranged through BigDomain.
Region limit worth knowing up front. Tencent states that feature availability varies by country, region and language, and that subscriptions and skill installations are currently available only in mainland China. The free tier is usable outside China — including in Malaysia.
Free vs Pro at a glance
| Free plan | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | US$10/month or US$96/year |
| Credit card required | No | Yes |
| Monthly credits | 100 | 1,000 base + 1,000 bonus |
| Daily active reward | Yes | Yes |
| Automation tasks | 3 | Expanded |
| New-user bonus | +350 for new users | — |
| Trial | — | 7-day Pro trial, 500 credits |
The jump you are paying for is the credit ceiling and the expanded limits. Both tiers get model routing, the local-file agent and the full skill set.
What the free plan is really for
Treat the free plan as a genuine allowance, not a sample. It covers the ordinary shape of knowledge work: a research summary, a draft proposal, a reformatted spreadsheet, a short deck. The 100 monthly credits, plus the daily reward and the one-time 350 bonus, will meet a sole trader or a small team's early needs. See the free tier in detail to understand exactly what you are working with.
What Pro adds, and when it pays off
Pro is aimed at people who already know WorkBuddy earns its place and simply need more room. The 1,000 base credits plus 1,000 bonus credits a month, and the expanded limits, are what let the agent become part of a weekly routine rather than an occasional helper.
The question to ask is not "is Pro worth US$10?" but "does the work it completes each month cost more than US$10 to do by hand?" For most Malaysian SMEs, one saved afternoon a month settles it. If you are not there yet, stay on free. You can start on the free plan and keep your setup if you move up later.
RM invoicing for Malaysian teams
WorkBuddy's list price is in US dollars, billed to an international account. That is fine for an individual, but awkward for a Malaysian company that needs a local invoice, an MYR line item and a properly recorded expense. BigDomain handles that side: local onboarding and RM-based billing instead of an overseas card charge. Request RM invoicing and we will pick it up from there.
One gateway, several assistants. For teams that also want a single model gateway, BigDomain runs Token Hub — its own in-house product — one API endpoint with multi-model routing, built in close collaboration with Tencent Cloud's Token Hub. It is BigDomain's product, not Tencent's.

Weighing it against the alternative
The fair comparison is not only price. It is what you get for it — an agent that finishes files, versus a subscription that answers questions. We lay that out on how it compares to ChatGPT. Keep billing FAQs handy for the details.

Can I try Pro before paying?

Which plan should a small Malaysian SME start on?
Start on free. Run one real task, judge the output, and watch your monthly credit use. Move to Pro only when your usage consistently outgrows the free allowance.
Can I pay in ringgit?
WorkBuddy's list price is in US dollars. For local MYR invoicing, contact BigDomain as an official Tencent Cloud agentic-cloud partner in Malaysia.
