description: "DevPass vs FirePass by Fireworks compared. FirePass is $49/mo for unlimited Kimi K2.6 Turbo only; DevPass is a flat plan for 200+ models — Claude, GPT-5.5, Gemini and the open-weight coders — under one key."

tagline: "FirePass gives you one model with no token meter. DevPass gives you 200+ models with a usage allowance. The trade is unlimited-but-single versus broad-but-metered."

verdict: "FirePass is a great deal if Kimi K2.6 Turbo is the only model you need — $49/month for unlimited requests on that one model. DevPass costs less to start and covers 200+ models including Claude, GPT-5.5 and Gemini, but meters usage with a generous allowance instead of being unlimited. Pick FirePass to live on one model; pick DevPass to keep every model on tap."

faqs:
  - question: What is FirePass by Fireworks?
    answer: "FirePass is an early-access monthly subscription from Fireworks AI that grants unlimited access to a single model — Kimi K2.6 Turbo — for $49/month, with no per-token charges. It's aimed at personal use with agentic coding tools and is currently invite-only. Other models on Fireworks still bill at standard rates."
  - question: Is FirePass really unlimited?
    answer: "It's unlimited for Kimi K2.6 Turbo specifically — your dashboard shows $0.00 for those requests while the subscription is active. The catch is scope: only that one model qualifies, it's restricted to personal development and experimentation, and team sharing or production workloads aren't allowed."
  - question: How is DevPass different from FirePass?
    answer: "DevPass meters usage instead of being unlimited, but in exchange you get 200+ models — Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro and the open-weight coders, including Kimi — under one key, plus commercial and team use, no invite requirement, and a per-request cost dashboard. FirePass is one model, unlimited, personal-only."
  - question: Can I use FirePass for work or production?
    answer: "No. FirePass restricts usage to personal development and experimentation; team sharing and production workloads are prohibited. DevPass has no such restriction — every plan supports commercial and team use, which makes it the option if you're shipping for a company."

## What is FirePass?

FirePass is an early-access subscription from **Fireworks AI**. For **$49/month** it gives you _unlimited_ requests to exactly one model — **Kimi K2.6 Turbo** — with a 256k context window and a dedicated API key, no per-token charges. Your billing dashboard literally shows **$0.00** for those requests while the plan is active. It works with OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible agents like Claude Code, OpenCode and Cline.

Two things define it: it's **one model**, and it's **personal use only** — invite-only today, with team sharing and production workloads explicitly off-limits.

## What is DevPass?

DevPass by LLM Gateway is a flat-rate plan covering **200+ models behind one key** — Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and the open-weight coders including Kimi itself. Instead of unlimited-on-one-model, you get a generous monthly usage **allowance** across all of them (roughly $3 of model usage per $1 you pay), a real cost breakdown per request, and full **commercial and team** rights.

## Unlimited-but-single vs broad-but-metered

This is the trade in a sentence:

- **FirePass** removes the meter but locks you to **one model**. Brilliant if Kimi K2.6 Turbo does everything you need; a dead end the moment you want Claude for a hard refactor or GPT-5.5 for a reasoning task.
- **DevPass** keeps a meter — a generous allowance — but gives you **every model**. You're never blocked from the right tool.

If your entire workflow can run on Kimi and it's strictly personal, FirePass at $49/mo is tough to beat on that one model. If you need range, or you're building anything commercial, the single-model limit is the wall you'll hit.

## The licensing detail that decides it for teams

FirePass is **personal-use only**. If you're writing code for a company, sharing access with teammates, or running anything resembling production, that restriction rules it out. DevPass supports **commercial and team use on every plan**, with the same flat, predictable pricing — and you can start without waiting for an invite.

## Who should choose which

**Choose FirePass if** Kimi K2.6 Turbo covers your needs, you want truly unlimited requests on that model, and your use is strictly personal.

**Choose DevPass if** you want 200+ models including the frontier ones, commercial and team rights, no invite gate, and a per-request cost dashboard.
