Can I just get Stadia Pro on my computer without getting the premier edition?

I'm interested in trying it out but I don't wanna sink $130 into it. I'd be happy to spend $10 to try the service though. I can't find any place where I can sign up or any information about that.

Apparently at the moment it's not possible. In the helpcenter for Stadia you can find the requirements (https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9338852?hl=en:disappointed_face: "Here's what you need to play Stadia: - A Google account (Not compatible with Google for Work, Google for Education, and certain other managed Google accounts) - Stadia Founder's Edition, Premiere Edition, or a Stadia Buddy Pass - A computer with a recent version of Chrome browser (Update your Google Chrome browser if needed) - The Stadia app (available on Google Play or in the Apple App Store®) - - The Android version requires a mobile device running Android 6.0 or greater - - The iOS version requires a mobile device running iOS 11.0 or greater - A reliable internet connection (10 Mbps or greater is recommended) - A Stadia Controller, a mouse and keyboard, a Playstation® DualShock® 4 Controller, an Xbox One® Controller, or another supported controller."

Stadia's kind of in Early Access mode right now - only users who have purchased a hardware bundle are able to get access codes for now. That should change in the near future. In fact, all those with a Founder's or Premiere bundle will get a buddy code they can share with a friend in about two weeks which will provide access without requiring a hardware purchase.

Maybe someone here will hook you up with that pass once they get it?

You should be able to just sign up for Stadia Base (for free) or Stadia Pro (for the monthly fee) without purchasing any hardware by early 2020.  I would guess that the full general roll out of the hardware-free accounts will happen sometime before the 3 months of Stadia Pro included with the kits expires.
