The symbiosis phenomenon of software products within the same company has become a new character of the development of software firms in the network economic era. The paper constructs a theoretical symbiosis model of a company's software products and verifies the reasonability of the model by analyzing the MAU data of QQ and Wechat, two instant messaging software of Tencent. Thereafter, by way of finding the symbiosis pattern and evolution rules of the two products at different development stages, the paper analyzes the reasons for the symbiosis evolution.

Key words: symbiosis of software products, symbiosis pattern, quality parameter compatibility, extended logistic model
