Looking for an alternative to Kilo Pass?

Kilo's monthly credit subscription for Kilo Code and the Kilo Gateway. Your subscription converts 1:1 into credits at provider list prices, and after you have used them you receive bonus credits for the rest of the month.

Pricing: Starter $19, Pro $49, Expert $199 a month ("Up to $26.60 /mo in credits" on Starter). Bonus: 10% in month 1, 50% in month 2, then up to 40% as your streak grows; annual plans get 50% every month. Bonus credits expire at the end of the monthly cycle. A 5% processing fee applies to Kilo Pass purchases and top-ups. (Verified 2026-10-13.)

TL;DR

Kilo Pass is a good deal for loyal Kilo Code users: list-price credits plus up to 40% bonus (50% on annual) is more compute per dollar than our plans once the streak builds. Its catch is timing, since bonuses arrive only after paid credits are spent and expire at month end. Standard Compute fits teams running Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode on one key, with Europe or US rules on any plan and a budget that is the same in month 1 and month 12.

Where Kilo Pass shines

•Credits are real dollars at provider list prices with no markup, across 500+ models
•Bonus credits of up to 40% a month (50% on annual) give steady users more compute per dollar
•One balance across VS Code, JetBrains, the CLI, Cloud Agents, Code Reviewer and the Kilo Gateway
•Auto Model chooses Frontier, Efficient or Free routing to stretch credits
•Cancel anytime and top up mid-month

Why people look for an alternative

•Bonus credits only arrive after the month's paid credits are used, and they expire at the end of the cycle
•The full 40% takes a long streak; cancelling resets it, and the month-2 welcome bonus is one-time
•5% processing fee on every Pass purchase and top-up ("a $20 credit purchase costs $21")
•Still metered per token: a heavy week drains the balance and the next step is another top-up
•EU inference is listed for Enterprise only, not for individuals or Teams

Standard Compute vs Kilo Pass

Standard Compute is an OpenAI-compatible API with frontier-model compute at a flat monthly price (from $19/mo): no per-token billing and no 5-hour or weekly windows. Requests run at full speed until the monthly compute budget is used, then stop until renewal or an upgrade. There are no overage charges.

Pick Standard Compute when…

•You want Europe or US region rules on a personal or company key without an Enterprise contract
•One plan with the same budget every month, with no streak or bonus timing to track
•Your team's agents are Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode rather than Kilo Code: one key covers the Anthropic and OpenAI APIs
•Companies and agencies that want plans per key and a workspace per client

Stick with Kilo Pass when…

•You code in Kilo Code most days: after the streak builds, up to 40% bonus credits beats our plan budgets, which are 5 to 8% above the price
•You want exact model choice from 500+ models at list prices
•You will also use Kilo's Cloud Agents and Code Reviewer from the same balance
•Your team wants Kilo Code's Teams plan ($15/user/month) for shared agents and centralized billing around the editor

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

Setup guides for OpenClaw, Hermes, OpenCode, Cursor, Cline, Aider and more are on the integrations page. Free tier to test it, no card required.

FAQ

How do Kilo Pass bonus credits work?

Your subscription becomes paid credits 1:1. Once you have used that month's paid credits, Kilo adds free bonus credits: 10% in month 1, 50% in month 2 for first-time subscribers, then a variable amount up to 40% based on tier and streak. Annual plans get 50% every month. Bonus credits expire at the end of the monthly cycle, and cancelling resets the streak.

Kilo Pass or OpenCode Go?

They are different products. OpenCode Go is $10 a month (Go Plus $40) for a curated set of low-cost coding models, with estimated requests per 5 hours and a monthly usage limit per model. Kilo Pass is list-price credits from $19 a month, with bonus credits, across 500+ models including frontier models. Go suits low-cost coding on its curated models; Kilo Pass suits steady Kilo Code use with frontier models.

Is Kilo Pass cheaper than Standard Compute?

Often, if you stay subscribed: a $19 Kilo Pass is worth up to $26.60 a month in credits once the 40% bonus is reached, against a $20 compute budget on our $19 Starter plan. Standard Compute is the better fit when you need region rules without an Enterprise contract, company and agency workspaces, or one key for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode with the same budget every month.

Can I use Standard Compute inside Kilo Code?

Yes. Kilo Code accepts OpenAI-compatible providers: set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, add your Standard Compute key, and use model standardcompute.
