M2M tokens are designed specifically for authenticating requests between different machines within your backend infrastructure. Whether you're building microservices, background workers, or distributed systems, M2M tokens provide a secure way for your services to communicate with each other.
This is distinct from our other machine authentication offerings:
Create and configure machines directly from the Clerk Dashboard or via our API or SDKs. You have complete control over which machines can communicate with each other, allowing you to implement the principle of least privilege across your infrastructure.

M2M tokens are free to use during the beta period. After general availability, they'll move to a simple usage-based pricing model. The pricing will be:

We're also planning to add support for JWT tokens before the beta period ends, which will only incur charges for creation, not verification.
