Had anyone tried AutoPCB (https://autopcb.app/ https://autopcb.app/) instead? Seems especially useful when paired with an agentic coding tool!

  Yep, and it’s terrible Not only did it burn a 100$ failing but it did so in a very untransparent way. I bought a 20 dollar plan but they snuck a 100$ billed usage into the billing agreements next thing I know the agent as used the quote going in circles and my card is billed.

    We need outcome based billing... I don't want to pay for a service that doesn't deliver.

They will be incentivized to prompt their tools well and to avoid tools that are consistently pathological.

        They will also charge a lot more than you using the service if they aren’t charlatans Edit: actually they probably will charge even more if they are charlatans

    I’m so sick of this that I go to the trouble to set up prepaid cards to pay for these things now. A handful of honest participants like DeepSeek are pay as you go instead of trying to sneakily bill you for usage.
