Having only used the base price of each, I loved the ux of cursor and what it enabled me to do, but I hit my monthly cap in 2 days. Whereas Claude code (on pro) I do hit my session limit and even weekly limit once but never have I had to been tools down for 20+ days.
I hear codex is even more generous.
Admittedly all seem cheap enough, but there does seem to be a large diff in pricing
I’m with you, I’ve used CC but I strongly prefer Cursor.
Fundamentally, I don’t like having my agent and my IDE be split. Yes, I know there are CC plugins for IDEs, but you don’t get the same level of tight integration.
Someone sell me on how Claude Code, I just don't get it.
