Is There a Day Pass for AI Agent Tools?
Last updated: 2026-10-03
In short
Yes. A human Day Pass costs $0.99 for 24 hours and uses card or PayPal checkout. The agent Day Pass is separate: $0.99 USDC on Base through x402. Its endpoint starts with an HTTP 402 payment challenge, which is the start of the flow rather than an error.
Human Day Pass
The human Day Pass costs $0.99 for 24 hours and can be purchased by card or PayPal. Use the human Day Pass page for that checkout. This is the human purchase flow.
Agent Day Pass
The agent Day Pass costs $0.99 USDC on Base and covers 24 hours. An agent starts by requesting the x402 Day Pass endpoint. The endpoint returns HTTP 402 with the payment challenge; the agent pays and retries with proof. That first 402 response is an expected part of the flow, not a failed payment.
Keep the two flows distinct
The human checkout and the agent payment challenge have different inputs and instructions. Do not copy card checkout steps into an agent workflow or treat an agent payment challenge as a human checkout page. For the agent sequence, read how an AI agent buys API access.
Frequently asked questions
Is There a Day Pass for AI Agent Tools?
Yes. People can use the human checkout for $0.99 and 24 hours of access. Agents have a separate $0.99 USDC on Base x402 flow.
Does HTTP 402 mean the agent payment failed?
Not on the initial request. The endpoint returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements so the agent can pay and retry with proof.
Are the human and agent Day Passes the same checkout?
No. Human checkout uses card or PayPal. The agent flow uses USDC on Base through x402.
