Cursor users are comparing the cheapest way to use Claude
Cursor can provide access to Claude’s stronger models, but the Claude token allowance can run out quickly. A $20 or $60 monthly Cursor may still feel tight when Claude is used often. Cursor’s feels much less limited by comparison.
The practical question is whether heavy Claude use is cheaper through another Cursor account, a personal API setup, Cursor’s built-in billing, or a separate Claude account. The models in mind include top s such as 4.8 and possibly Fable if it returns.
