Looking for an alternative to DevPass?
DevPass, LLM Gateway's coding subscription, cut included usage from 3x to 2x the plan price on October 15, 2026; Standard Compute covers the agents, bots and scripts its new coding-only licence excludes, routing each step to the cheapest model that can do it within one monthly budget.
TL;DR
Stay on DevPass if you code interactively and your heaviest day fits the new daily cap; Pro or Max restores headroom. Switch if you also run agents, bots or scripts, or keep hitting caps.
The DevPass allowance change, per plan
Prices held, every allowance shrank, and a daily cap arrived with the change.
| Plan | Before Oct 15 | Since Oct 15 | Daily cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite $29 | $87 | $58 | $4.64 (8%) |
| Pro $79 | $237 | $158 | $14.22 (9%) |
| Max $179 | $537 | $358 | $35.80 (10%) |
Usage metered at provider rates. Daily cap is a rolling 24 hours across all models; dollar figures are our arithmetic on DevPass's percentages. A separate premium weekly cap applies on top: 10% / 12% / 15% of the allowance.

What DevPass offers
Prices and allowances per plan are in the table above; usage is metered at provider rates. Reset Passes cost $5 / $15 / $45 and restore only the premium weekly allowance; Max includes two per cycle. (Verified on DevPass's pricing page and terms, 2026-10-15.)
- Still more usage than you pay for after the cut, at unchanged prices
- Model pinning across 200+ models, including Anthropic-format access for Claude Code
- Works with Claude Code, OpenCode, Cline, Cursor, Aider and Continue
- First-month refund in one click, up to 14 days after your first purchase
Why people look for an alternative
- The same price now buys less usage, and keeping the old allowance means a higher tier
- The daily cap can stop a heavy coding day long before the month is used
- Licensed only for interactive software development: your own apps, scripts, cron jobs, bots and non-coding use are excluded
- Pro no longer includes a Reset Pass
Which one fits your work
| Pick | When |
|---|---|
| Standard Compute | You run agents, bots or scheduled jobs that DevPass's coding-only licence no longer covers |
| No daily, 5-hour or weekly windows to plan around | |
| You want a lower entry price | |
| You want routing that sends simple steps to efficient models so the budget lasts, with the option to restrict it to models you pick | |
| DevPass | Pure interactive coding on frontier models: DevPass's usage multiple buys more per dollar than our budgets, which sit close to the plan price |
| Your heaviest day fits under your tier's daily cap | |
| You want provider-rate metering across its named models |
Switching takes one config change
Standard Compute is OpenAI-compatible, so any tool or SDK that lets you set a custom base URL migrates in minutes:
Base URL = https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 API key = your Standard Compute key Model = standardcompute

FAQ
What changed with DevPass on October 15?
Prices stayed the same and included usage shrank; the table on this page has the numbers per plan. DevPass also added a daily cap across all models, a premium weekly cap and new Reset Pass terms, and limited use to interactive software development through an approved coding agent or tool.
When does the DevPass change apply to me?
New subscriptions since October 15, 2026 start on the new allowance. Existing subscribers move at their first renewal on or after October 15, so a plan that renewed on October 10 keeps the old allowance until its November renewal. The daily caps, premium weekly caps and Reset Pass changes have applied to everyone since October 15, including mid-cycle; the coding-only licence covers billing periods starting on or after that date.
Is DevPass still worth it after the change?
For interactive coding, often yes: you still get more provider-rate usage than you pay for, and model pinning stays. It is worth less if your heaviest days pass the daily cap, or if you used the key for scripts, bots, chat or other non-coding work, which the new licence excludes.
DevPass or Standard Compute for a 24/7 agent?
Since October 15, DevPass's terms exclude your own applications, scripts, cron jobs, batch pipelines and bots, so a self-run 24/7 agent falls outside its licence. Standard Compute keys can back those workloads. Size the plan so the monthly compute budget covers the agent, because requests stop when it is used.
Does Standard Compute work with Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode?
Yes. It serves /v1/messages for Claude Code (set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com, without /v1, with ANTHROPIC_MODEL and every ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_*_MODEL slot set to catalog IDs), /v1/responses for Codex, and OpenCode lists Standard Compute natively through models.dev. For other OpenAI-compatible tools the base URL is https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1.
