How Doubao pricing scales
Input pricing varies 93% across the lineup ($0.03 → $0.45/1M). At 1M requests/month with ~1K input tokens, the cheapest variant costs roughly $0.03 while the flagship runs $0.45 — a 93% gap that compounds fast at scale. Output-token pricing follows the same tiering, so long-form generation amplifies the difference.
Which variant to pick
Doubao's 3 active variants center on multimodal understanding — vision-capable models from $0.03 to $0.45/1M input. Pick by context size for document/image-heavy workloads; the cheapest tier handles classification, the flagship handles complex visual reasoning.
Doubao notes
Doubao sits in the General Purpose category. ByteDance's AI with competitive pricing and strong Chinese language support. The 128K maximum context window (on Doubao SEED 2.0 Pro) is the largest in this lineup — suitable for most multi-document workloads.
Cost in practice
Real-world fit: Doubao variants power document-understanding apps — OCR-free receipt parsing, screenshot-to-code, and visual Q&A. Cheaper vision variants handle high-volume extraction; the flagship tackles nuanced visual reasoning.
