AI Pass for Developers: One Wallet, Every AI Model

AI Pass for Developers: One Wallet, Every AI Model

Let's face it — every developer has that API key spreadsheet (or the sticky note that functions as one). You know the drill: one place where your OpenAI key lives, another for Anthropic, another for Google, Stability, and whatever shiny new provider popped up this week. Each one comes with its own dashboard, limits, pricing quirks, and a small existential crisis every time you try to build something useful.

It really doesn't have to be so messy.

The Multi-Key Tax

Every AI company wants you in their garden — totally fair, they make incredible tech. From a developer standpoint, though, it gets painful fast:

Different auth patterns. OpenAI uses Bearer tokens. Google leans on service accounts and OAuth. Anthropic has its own header format. Every new provider means another set of docs to parse, another error format to handle, another auth wrapper to write.

Different billing models. Some charge per token (and charge input and output differently), others charge per image, some on audio seconds, and a few have tiered pricing that jumps at usage thresholds. Comparing costs across providers without a spreadsheet? Good luck.

Different minimums. Most places expect you to deposit $5–$20 just to get started. Want to tinker with text, images, speech, and video across three providers? You’re easily looking at $30–$60 before you’ve even built anything.

Different rate limits. Hit a rate limit on one provider and you need provider-specific retry logic. Want a fallback to another model? That’s a separate integration entirely.

If you’re building a multi-modal app (text, images, TTS), you end up juggling multiple accounts and a ton of key-management bookkeeping instead of shipping features.

What AI Pass Actually Is

AI Pass is a single, unified AI wallet for developers. One account, one API key, and access to 35+ models from major providers — no juggling required.

Here's the lineup:

Category	Models Available
Text	GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, Claude, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Pro
Images	Flux Pro, Flux Pro Ultra, Imagen 4
Video	Sora 2, Veo 3
Speech	TTS-1 (text-to-speech), Whisper (transcription)

Everything is reachable with a single API key, billed from one wallet, and managed from the same developer dashboard.

Sign up and you get a $1 credit on signup to start experimenting. No contracts, no monthly minimums, no enterprise gatekeeping. Pay as you go and top up when you need to.

The Pricing Comparison Nobody Makes

Let’s be honest about the real cost of DIY multi-provider access:

Provider	Minimum Deposit	Models You Get
OpenAI	$5	GPT-4, GPT-5, DALL-E, Sora, Whisper
Anthropic	$5	Claude Sonnet, Claude Haiku
Google	$0 (free tier) then $5	Gemini, Imagen, Veo
Black Forest Labs	$5	Flux Pro
Total	$15-20+	Fragmented access
AI Pass	$1	All of the above + more

With AI Pass, that $1 signup credit gives you access to everything — no need to create and manage four separate accounts or track four billing dashboards.

How It Works (60-Second Version)

Step 1: Sign up at aipass.one

Step 2: Grab your API key from the developer dashboard

Step 3: Use it like any standard API:

curl https://aipass.one/apikey/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIPASS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4.1-mini",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

Step 4: Switch models by changing one string:

# Switch to Claude
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-5"

# Switch to Gemini
"model": "google/gemini-2.5-flash"

# Generate an image
# POST to /apikey/v1/images/generations
"model": "flux-pro/v1.1"

Same key. Same endpoint pattern. Same billing. Pick the best model for the job and AI Pass handles the routing.

For App Builders: The SDK + Commission Model

If you're building web apps for users (not just backend scripts), AI Pass provides a JavaScript SDK that takes care of the heavy lifting:

<script src="https://aipass.one/aipass-sdk.js"></script>
<script>
  AiPass.initialize({
    clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',  // from Developer Dashboard → OAuth2 Clients
    requireLogin: true            // handles user auth automatically
  });
</script>

The SDK handles user auth, payments, and billing — your users sign up with their own AI Pass accounts and pay for their own usage. You don't cover their API calls.

And the neat part: you earn 50% commission on every API call your users make through your app.

Build something people use regularly and it can become a steady revenue stream without you building subscription or payment systems. AI Pass takes care of the plumbing.

Who This Is For

AI Pass is a great fit if you're:

A solo developer building AI-powered side projects → ship features in minutes, not days
A vibe coder using Lovable, Replit, or Cursor → add AI without the key management headache
A BYOK app founder whose users struggle with API key complexity → let AI Pass handle auth and billing
An experimenter who wants to try multiple AI models without committing $20+ upfront → see what you can build with $1

Getting Started

Sign up at aipass.one — $1 credit on signup
Get your API key from the developer dashboard
Start calling models — text, images, video, speech
Build something — use the SDK for web apps, or the API directly for backend scripts
Earn commission — your users pay for usage, you earn 50%

One wallet. Every AI model. No key management overhead. No minimum commitments.

That's AI Pass.
