Entry price and credit windows
The z.ai plan overview lists plans starting at $18/month. Its FAQ describes monthly and longer-term billing options. Higher tiers and current regional offers should be checked at checkout.
The standard five-hour / weekly credit allowances are 2,000 / 10,000 for Lite, 12,000 / 60,000 for Pro, and 28,000 / 140,000 for Max. Tokens, model multipliers, and MCP calls affect consumption. Both windows matter; a large weekly balance does not remove the shorter limit.
Pick the catalog before comparing quotas
z.ai is designed around its GLM coding service and integrated coding tools. DevPass lets a single developer spend a monthly dollar allowance across its live coding catalog, with premium weekly fair-use limits. These are different units and different model sets. Check the z.ai model guidance and DevPass catalog, then compare a representative coding session.
DevPass pricing and limits
DevPass costs $29/month for Lite, $79 for Pro, or $179 for Max, for one developer. New subscriptions include $58, $158, and $358 of monthly model usage respectively, with separate premium weekly fair-use limits. Optional pay-as-you-go overflow costs extra.
Compare the live coding catalog and plan details. Client support depends on the API and custom-endpoint features of the coding tool; a DevPass key does not unlock every feature of a third-party editor.
