Anybody here vibe coding with ppq.ai ?
Cursor won't let me use custom OpenAI compatible APIs for coding agents. What is your setup, when you don't want a subscription or even account with an AI coding tool like cursor? I really appreciate ppqs pay-as-you-go a countless model.

I found out VSCode with the Cline extensions works. Teatimg it out to see if it suits my needs.
We have many guides to choose at ppq.ai/blog but our favorite is cline.

Used it with goose and sonnet 3.7 but you can easily burn through a lot of money quickly
Have you found a more cost-effective alternative? Ideally non-KYC.
I find ppq.ai's pricing with the new gpt-5 model to be a great value for money! gpt-5 is about half the cost compared to claude-3.7-sonnet
Right now I only use copilot with github pro (no privacy at all), and the ppq web interface with sonnet opus for more demanding questions.
However I also rarely use autoedit/agent/vibe coding functionality and instead mainly use the chat interface to ask specific questions.
Personally I rather write the code myself to develop better understanding, easy to get lost in a junk of quickly generated slop code.
