HopBase
The short answer: Tencent lists two enterprise tiers — Enterprise Flagship at ¥198/user/month (SaaS, ready to use) and Enterprise Dedicated at ¥316/user/month (VPC deployment), both with 2,000 Credits per month. Through HopBase, a Tencent WorkBuddy commercial partner, every team pays a flat 10% off list — for the identical official product. Here is how the tiers differ, where the discount comes from, and how onboarding works.
What WorkBuddy is
WorkBuddy is Tencent's all-scenario AI work agent: describe a task in natural language and it plans, decomposes, and executes — across office work, coding, and design. The three capabilities enterprises actually use: command it from WeChat/WeCom (send an instruction, it plans, executes, and reports back; mini-program access needs no install); 100+ built-in domain experts for recruiting screens, investment research, page building, and spreadsheet work, running as parallel multi-agent workflows; and an enterprise security center with isolated sandboxes, a security gateway, end-to-end encryption, delete protection, and audit export.
The two tiers
| Enterprise Flagship | Enterprise Dedicated | |
|---|---|---|
| List price | ¥198 / user / month | ¥316 / user / month |
| Deployment | SaaS, ready to use | VPC dedicated deployment |
| Monthly Credits | 2,000 | 2,000 |
| Governance | Standard security center | Adds operation trails, instruction tracing, approval flows |
| Fits | Most teams | Strict data-security / compliance needs |
The decision rule is simple: no hard compliance constraint means Flagship; finance, healthcare, or data-residency-sensitive teams should evaluate Dedicated. (List prices are Tencent Cloud's public rates as of August 2026; Tencent's official page prevails if adjusted.)
How the discount works
WorkBuddy sells through authorized partners as well as direct. Provisioning through HopBase: a flat 10% off list for every team (Flagship lands at ¥178.2/user/month, Dedicated at ¥284.4). The account lives on Tencent's official platform — product, updates, and official support are identical to buying direct — and an advisor handles provisioning, seats, corporate payment, and invoicing one-on-one.
The key phrase is "on the official platform": this is a channel price difference, not resale. You get the original product at a lower settlement price.
Onboarding in three steps
First, reach out via the HopBase WorkBuddy page to confirm team size and tier. Second, the advisor provisions the enterprise account and seats. Third, delivery happens on Tencent's official platform, with billing settled through HopBase.
FAQ
Is the discount first-year-only? Terms follow your contract quote; same-price renewal can be locked in at signing — negotiating room you don't get with self-serve checkout.
We already bought direct — can we switch? Yes; the renewal date is usually the cleanest switching point.
Can WorkBuddy's model layer be governed centrally? Yes. As part of the cooperation, WorkBuddy's underlying model supply can connect to the HopBase gateway — one set of keys, billing, and audit across WorkBuddy and your Claude, GPT, and video-generation API workloads.
