Citing tracking data from Dongcha Beating, First Financial reported that Bean Pod’s App Store page recently featured a note about a paid version service. In response, Bean Pod officials noted the app has always offered free services—and is now exploring adding more value-added options. Specific details of these plans are currently in testing. Additionally, insiders close to Bean Pod say the paid features will focus on complex tasks and productivity use cases: PPT creation, data analysis, and video production, for example.

That’s why Bean Pod plans to roll out a paid tier to cater to these complex needs, while the free version will continue to focus on users’ everyday usage.
