Pricing changelog
Compare · Oct 17, 2026ChatGPT vs Cursor Cost in 2026: $20 Plus vs Cursor's $8 to $200 TiersThe old 'same $20' framing is dead. ChatGPT Plus still costs $20/month flat. Cursor's new plans are Plus at $8 (Grok models only), Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200, and on Premium and above every Claude, GPT or Gemini request is billed separately at API list price. A developer on Premium who sends a moderate 3M input and 600K output tokens a month to Claude Sonnet 5.5 pays about $42, not $30. For a generalist, ChatGPT Plus at $20 is still the cheaper and broader buy. For a full-time developer, Cursor Premium at a realistic $40 to $50 a month is now the honest comparison.Compare · Oct 17, 2026AI Subscription vs API Cost in 2026: Find Your Break-EvenThis is the numeric cost page, and the API is cheaper for most people. At GPT-6 Sol's $2/1M input and $10/1M output, a $20 ChatGPT Plus subscription breaks even at about 5M tokens a month on a 3:1 input-to-output mix. Claude Sonnet 5 at $2/$10 lands in the same place. Route routine work to GPT-5.4 mini ($0.75/$4.50) and the break-even moves past 11M tokens; on GPT-6 Luna ($0.10/$0.50) it is about 100M. Subscriptions win on convenience for daily chat; APIs win on cost for automation, agents and high-volume work.Best of · Oct 17, 2026Cheapest AI Code Editors and Assistants on a BudgetAI coding tools ranked by what you actually pay: free editor tiers, the $20 subscriptions, and the cheapest APIs that still handle agent tool calls.Best of · Oct 17, 2026Best AI Subscriptions Under $20/MonthEvery mainstream AI subscription at $20 or less, ranked by what it costs each month: Google AI Plus at $4.99, ChatGPT Go and Cursor Plus at $8, then the $20 plans from ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Perplexity Pro and Google AI Pro.

Hoe dit bureau eerlijk blijft

  1. 01Catalogus-API-prijzen worden over de dag ververst. Is een cijfer ouder dan twee weken, dan markeren we het als verouderd in plaats van actueel te laten lijken.
  2. 02Nieuwsbriefings verdwijnen na drie weken van het publieke bureau. Duurzame geldpagina’s blijven zichtbaar zolang de API-catalogus Live of Recent is. We zetten geen datums vooruit om actueel te lijken.
  3. 03De vragen hierboven zijn de aankopen die mensen echt afwegen. Nieuwe vergelijkingen verschijnen zolang ze actueel zijn.
