I used to have a pro-cursor subscription, but it was way too expensive because I'd always hit my limit. I realized I could just use claude code + the free version of cursor for autocomplete and it worked even better. At this point, I'm not understanding the value that cursor is bringing. A souped up claude code? All I have to do is wait a few months and anything useful will be in claude code or codex or whatever.

So unfortunately this is it for me too. I liked Cursor as a tool, but when i switched to Claude I realized i was getting WAY better value for money. I spent $1800 the month before, i spent $200 the next.

I'm now switching between Claude and Codex for less than 1/4 of what I was spending in December.

Yeah, I tried using their Composer model (which I guess is Kimi) and it just feels sub-Sonnet to me. Whereas a Claude Max sub gets me more Opus than I can use in a month.

Which sucks because Cursor is clearly better than Anthropic at building UIs. CC desktop is buggy af.

Codex is nearly Opus level though. Anyone know if OpenAI permits Max subs to be used in Cursor?
