Is Claude Code 5x Cheaper Than Cursor?
- elesingp 8mo agoI think CC is even cheaper. I heard that it is approximately 37x cheaper. There was a research couple months ago
- sacredSatan 8mo agoI think that may be comparing cc against opus with cursor. This post compares against Auto+Composer pool. It does mention that if you used a frontier model then the gap would be even wider.
- montooner 8mo agoThat's interesting, b/c that research from a few months ago seems to line up with the article. The article actually calls out 38x when you compare CC with Cursor's API token pool only. But then when you add in the Composer tokens, it becomes 5x. Obviously Composer's a different level of model than Sonnet/Opus.

- asprecic 8mo agoThis has been my personal experience as well, cursor runs out quickly but cc always seemed to have more juice available. Cool to see the actual numbers confirm what I've been feeling anecdotally.
