I built LLM OneStop Code—an AI coding agent for VS Code that works like Claude Code or Cursor, but with one key difference: pure pay-as-you-go pricing. No monthly subscription required.

The problem with existing tools:\n- Cursor: $20/month for Pro (even if you barely use it)\n- GitHub Copilot: $10/month minimum\n- Claude Code: Rate-limited by API usage tier + monthly caps

LLM OneStop Code charges only for what you use—billed in credits at cost + 5%. If you code 2 hours this month and 40 the next, you pay proportionally. No quota walls, no "upgrade to continue" prompts.

What it does:\n- Multi-model AI agent (Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, etc.)\n- Chat-based coding assistance in VS Code\n- *Import and continue your existing Claude Code or Cursor sessions*—when you hit your hourly rate limit or quota, just import the conversation and keep working without losing context\n- Stateless by design (no code stored on servers)\n- Free plan available to try everything (100 credits/month)

Also running LLM OneStop as a unified API gateway—alternative to OpenRouter with accurate multi-modal cost tracking. If you prefer BYO API keys, we have a Connect plan available.

The thesis: developers want AI coding tools that scale with usage, not fixed subscriptions. You shouldn't pay $240/year if you only code on weekends. And when you hit a quota wall mid-debugging session, you shouldn't have to start over or wait until tomorrow.

Would love to hear from folks who've felt locked into coding tool subscriptions or hit quota limits mid-session.
