it's not about features (although they've added plenty), its the internal tooling and the way the model is prompted.

The only thing I know that CC has that Cursor hasn't, is the ability to spawn agents. You can just prompt CC "spawn 10 agents" and it will make 10 subagents that run concurrently. But otherwise, I don't know what CC does that Cursor doesn't. On the contrary, AFAIK, CC doesn't index your codebase, and Cursor does.

Surely CC has a lower price? How much do you have to pay Cursor for equivalent to what's provided in a 20x Claude Max plan?

200$

If I was paying API costs, I'd be spending about $1700/mo to get what I use on Claude's 20x plan. My understanding was that Cursor would give me about 1/4 of that, on their 20x plan.

I don't know. My company pays for it.
