You're not able to use the API credit and hook it up to another harness?

API credits yes, subscription no. And the subscription is much better value (per token).

Pi definitely has extensions which allow it. I googled "use Pi with Claude Pro" or something and Gemini was more than happy to point me at the extension.
You can PAYG. But it costs an arm and a leg, compared to the subscriptions. Why? Because they're propping up the "moat" that is Claude Code.
