Most AI coding tools lock you into $10–20/month subscriptions whether you code or not. UMVA AI flips the model: pure pay-as-you-go from $0.50/M tokens with zero monthly fees. Get a blazing-fast native IDE (macOS/Windows/Linux, no Electron bloat) with a built-in AI agent, plus an OpenAI & Anthropic-compatible API. All models feature a 1M token context window and 384K max output — process entire codebases in one request.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Excited to finally launch UMVA AI today. Here's the problem we kept hitting: every AI coding tool forces you into a $10–20/month subscription. Some months you're building hard and getting your money's worth. Other months? You're paying for nothing. So we built UMVA AI with one rule: you should only pay for the AI you actually use. No subscriptions. No monthly fees. No "pro tier" gates. Just pure pay-as-you-go starting at $0.50 per million tokens — that's 3-50x cheaper than the alternatives. What you get: • A native IDE for macOS, Windows, and Linux (no Electron, instant startup) • 1M token context window across all models — drop in an entire codebase • 384K max output — generate full documentation or multi-file refactors in one shot • OpenAI & Anthropic-compatible API — works with VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, Zed, and anything else • Privacy by default — we never train on your code, never store prompts • Crypto payments — USDT, BTC, ETH with zero KYC The IDE itself is completely free. You only pay for inference. And you can start with just $0.10. We'd love your feedback, especially on: • What would make you switch from your current AI coding setup? • Any integrations you'd want to see next? • Thoughts on our pay-as-you-go model vs. subscriptions? Thanks for checking us out!

I have been using UMVA AI while working on my own coding projects, and it has become a helpful part of my daily development workflow.

As a developer, I often work on different tasks where I need to debug problems, understand errors, improve my code, or find better ways to build features. UMVA AI has helped me save time by giving me ideas, explaining technical issues, and helping me continue when I get stuck.

One area that I think could be improved is the first-time experience when getting started. At first, I had some difficulty finding how to get my IDE set up, but the team was helpful and guided me through it. I think making the IDE setup process more visible and easier to discover would help new users start faster.

One thing I really like about UMVA AI is the pay-as-you-go model. Many AI coding tools require a monthly subscription even when you are not using them every day. With UMVA AI, I can use AI when I actually need it and only pay for what I use. This makes it easier for independent developers and people working on personal projects who do not want another monthly expense.

I also like that it is not only about generating code. It helps me think through solutions, learn new concepts, and approach problems from different angles.
