When making a complaint, please make sure you have chosen the correct flair for the Claude environment that you are using: i.e Web interface (FREE), Web interface (PAID), or Claude API. This information helps others understand your particular situation. try to include as much information as possible (e.g. prompt and output) so that people can understand the source of your complaint. be aware that even with the same environment and inputs, others might have very different outcomes due to Anthropic's testing regime. be sure to thumbs down unsatisfactory Claude output on Claude.ai. Anthropic representatives tell us they monitor this data regularly. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns. More on reddit.com

October 30, 2024Is there a simple, secure Claude chat app that uses my Claude Anthropic API key (similar to Claude Pro interface)?
Openrouter.ai or a self-hosted hostel openwebui. The last option is by far the most powerful, just a bit of a hassle to setup if you're not experienced with the technology. More on reddit.com

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Do I need to pay for both Claude and Anthropic to use the API key?
October 30, 2024 -
I just paid for the Pro version of Claude. Downloaded Cursor and when I went to add the 'API key', it seems like I also need to pay for Anthropic?
I am a little confused. First time doing the Cursor IDE setup. I am a Rider dev.
I want to be able to use Cursor without any limitations. Not bragging but money is not a concern. I make enough as a Software Consultant to afford those memberships.
Also, I heard about bolt.new or something along those lines? I checked it out but it seems towards opinionated out-of-the-box frontend applications.
Any advice?
Thanks!!!

If you want cursor, go to their site and buy their sub. If you want the Claude web UI, pay anthropic for their subscription. If you want anthropic api go to anthropic console and pay per use
