Token Packs are an in-app purchase that provides the player a set amount of tokens in exchange for real money.
* The larger the pack, the better the price per Token.
* The price per Token is also dependent on a player's Career . Contrary to Credit Packs, the size of the packs is the same for all Star levels. This leads to inconsistent prices:
** Beginners have the best price per Token ratio.
** Intermediate players have the worst price per Token ratio. 
** Players with the maximum number of Stars (more than ) have a better ratio than intermediate players, but a worse ratio than beginners.
With the Rio de Janeiro Update, each token pack will also award the player with VIP points for the VIP System.
A Tokens Pass subscription was also available when first launched for certain players/regions and gave a total of , more than a Mountain of Tokens for the price of a Hoard of Tokens; the player has to log-in to the game every day for a consecutive 30 times with each log-in awarding . The Token Pass Subscription has since been updated to now give a total of ; per day at half the price of a Truckload of Tokens for a similar amount.
The following table lists pack sizes and prices for some example Star levels taken from different accounts. Reaching seems to be the last level; even players with did not have better ratios.

Prices in US$ are the same despite different exchange rates, so players from the USA have an advantage as long the exchange rate for is below .

===Transferability with Credits===
There is no official conversion rate between tokens and Credits in Asphalt 8: Airborne. A token is worth on average, and at most, . This is only an estimate, as the number of in-game tokens received for an equivalent value of credits depends largely on what was purchased.
In general, the lower the credit/token ratio of the car price is, the more economical it would be to purchase the car with credits instead of tokens. Due to the scarcity and high value of tokens to most players, it is usually a better choice to purchase an item with credits and save the tokens for other uses.
