Vercel has launched Token Pass in early access for Pro teams. For $30 per month, a team receives $80 in monthly credit for the GLM 5.3 and Kimi K3 models, according to the company.

Key points
  • Token Pass is in early access for Vercel Pro teams.
  • $30 per month provides $80 in monthly credit for GLM 5.3 and Kimi K3, with more models planned.
  • It runs through AI Gateway and works with agents such as fx, Command Code and Pi, or a custom agent built with the AI SDK.
  • Zero Data Retention is on by default, with inference in the US and EU.
  • Unused credit does not roll over, and requests stop when credit runs out, with no automatic overage charges.

What Token Pass includes

Token Pass is a subscription for Vercel Pro teams. According to Vercel, the $30 monthly fee buys $80 in monthly credit that can be spent on GLM 5.3 from Z.ai and Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI. The company says more models are to come.

The credit is shared across the team. Because Token Pass runs through AI Gateway, users can choose their own tools and switch between the included models while drawing on the same pool of credit.

Vercel names several coding agents that work with the subscription: fx, Command Code and Pi. Teams that prefer a custom setup can also build a personal agent with the AI SDK.

Privacy and data handling

Token Pass has Zero Data Retention (ZDR) enabled by default, Vercel says. Requests run through selected providers, with inference taking place in the US and EU.

According to the company, AI Gateway and the provider delete prompts and responses after each request. Vercel also states that prompts are not used to train models.

Setup and billing rules

Getting started takes a few steps, as described by Vercel:

  • Open the Token Pass page in the team's AI Gateway dashboard.
  • Activate the subscription, create a Token Pass API key and follow the setup instructions to connect an agent.
  • Select GLM 5.3 or Kimi K3 and start building.

The subscription renews monthly unless it is canceled. Unused credit does not roll over to the next month. When the credit runs out, Token Pass requests stop until the next billing period begins. Vercel says there are no automatic overage charges, so a team cannot be billed beyond the $30 subscription through Token Pass.

What it means for teams

The offer gives Pro teams a fixed monthly cost for running coding agents on two models, with a hard stop instead of surprise charges when credit is used up. Teams that exceed the credit will have to wait for the next billing period, since requests pause rather than continue at extra cost.

Token Pass is in early access, and Vercel points users to the Token Pass documentation for further details.
