Is it a fit for you?
Try Chinese drafting or a small document task. Choose the mainland app when you specifically need its local integrations.
A task you can try today
A task you can try todayStart small. Keep the useful result.
Everyday task: in mainland Qianwen, turn your own five meeting bullets into a five-slide outline. Ask it to preserve the numbers, separate decisions from suggestions and leave missing owners unknown. Approve the outline before using a PPT tool; open the exported file and check text overflow and editable content. International Qwen has a separate interface and entitlements. This is a suggested check, not a new measured success. For a shopping suggestion, inspect the final basket without paying; check quantity, seller and coupon eligibility.
Suggested practice, not a newly observed product trial. Use public or non-sensitive inputs.
The trade-off
The trade-offThe newer shopping inspection covers mainland app checkout; the June case remains historical. Compare the final basket, seller and coupon conditions. Neither establishes document accuracy, a fixed free PPT count or international Qwen performance. Check your own subscription page.
Is free enough? When would I pay?
Is free enough? When would I pay?Start with free entry. For mainland Qianwen office work, the checked China listing includes CNY19, CNY49 and CNY128 monthly tiers; creative subscriptions and credits are separate. Pay after a useful outline/export workflow actually reaches an allowance or feature barrier. The membership agreement has rolling and monthly limits; spare monthly capacity does not override a shorter-window limit.

Access and cost
Mainland entry: qianwen.com and the official 千问 app. International entry: qwen.ai. Account, location, language and integrations can differ; a feature advertised for one is not promised for the other. Free entry does not make every office or creative action unlimited.
Free entry · Free entry
The official China App Store listing is free with in-app purchases. International Qwen is a different product surface; no paid international consumer tariff is established here.
Qianwen work assistant · Advanced · CNY19/month
China App Store recurring monthly listing. This is an office allowance, not unlimited model or API use.
Qianwen work assistant · Elite · CNY49/month
China App Store recurring monthly listing. The same listing shows a Flagship tier at CNY128/month and separate creative purchases. Confirm the selected item and renewal before payment.
Make the choice with your own task
A 23 October newsroom inspection observed in-app shopping checkout. Offers and eligibility can change; compare the final basket and seller. This does not measure document accuracy, free PPT capacity or international Qwen. API and Qianwen Work evidence also cover different surfaces.
- Open an account and plan you are authorized to use. Look for the feature needed by your task.
- Copy the public example brief, or substitute a small piece of your own non-sensitive work.
- Inspect the output. Record the corrections, any quota encountered, and the price actually shown to you.
- Try an alternative only when there is a concrete unmet need. Keep the useful output and checking method.
