<Warning> ClinePass is currently under invite-only private preview. </Warning>

ClinePass is a low-cost monthly subscription — $9.99/month — that gives you reliable access to popular open coding models with 2-5x the API rate limits of standard access.

It's completely optional. You don't need ClinePass to use Cline, and you can always use any other provider alongside it.

Why ClinePass

Open models have gotten really good. They now reach performance close to proprietary models for coding tasks, and because many providers can serve them competitively, they're usually far cheaper.

However, getting reliable access can be difficult. Providers vary in quality and availability, and standard rate limits can throttle heavy agentic workflows that read files, run commands, and iterate across many turns.

ClinePass solves this by:

  • Curating a select group of open models tested and benchmarked for coding agent use
  • Offering 2-5x the API rate limits so you can run long, complex agent tasks without interruption
  • Providing stable access through Cline's infrastructure

How it works

ClinePass is a separate provider in Cline. After subscribing, select ClinePass wherever you configure your provider.

  • IDE Extension: Go to IDE extension settings, set API Provider to ClinePass, and sign in.
  • CLI: Go to /settings and select ClinePass as your provider.
<Note> ClinePass is a separate provider from the Cline Provider. You can use both independently — subscribe to ClinePass for 2-5x API rate limits, or use the Cline Provider for pay-as-you-go access. </Note>

Models

ClinePass includes the following models, tested and benchmarked for coding agent use:

Reference pricing

ClinePass is a flat monthly subscription, so you are not charged the individual API prices below. These reference prices show the underlying per-1M-token rates for each model and can help you understand how usage is measured against your ClinePass quota (2-5x quota compares to paying standard api rate).

Goals

We created ClinePass to:

  • Make AI coding accessible to more people with a low-cost subscription
  • Provide reliable access to the best open coding models
  • Curate models that are tested and benchmarked for coding agent use
  • Remove rate-limit friction with 2-5x API rate limits
  • Have no lock-in — you can use any other provider with Cline as well
