CURSOR AND COPILOT ARE ABOUT TO DIE
developer spent 3 months testing Claude Code, Codex and Cursor in parallel, the result?
he exhausted the Cursor usage quota in a couple of weeks. then you sit and wait or pay extra while Claude Code and Codex reset the limits weekly. for the same price
and here's the question that no one wants to ask out loud:
why are you still paying for cursor or copilot when Claude Code and Codex give you the same amount or even more?
this isn't just about pricing. this is a survival question for entire companies
think about it:
- Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf all resell other people's models with a wrapper
- Anthropic and OpenAI sell THEIR OWN models directly
- and do it cheaper
It's like trying to compete with a factory by buying parts from the same factory
what should actually scare these companies:
- Claude Code runs straight from the terminal, no IDE needed
- Codex from OpenAI - same thing
- both reset limits more often
- both evolve faster
the developer literally asks: 'is there even room for another coding agent in this market?'
and the honest answer is - probably not
we are witnessing a classic scenario: platforms devour their intermediaries
Claude Code did the same thing without subscribing to a separate editor
I'm not saying that Сursor will die tomorrow. but if your business model is to resell someone else's API at a premium, you should be nervous
the question is not 'Cursor vs Claude Code', but:
how many months do wrapper companies have left before model providers take over the entire market?
