My company won't pay for AI subscriptions but they let us expense API costs. BYOK tools are a lifesaver.

Aider

Cursor

AI code editor built on VS Code. BYOK for full API access with any model you choose.

Privy

Privacy-first coding assistant for VS Code. All AI calls go through your own API keys.

FauxPilot
