Choosing the Right Plan: Coming from Claude (100/moplan, 15/day usage)

Discussions

Hello everyone,

I’m hoping to get some advice on selecting the best Cursor plan for my needs. I’m a full-stack engineer, and I’ve transitioned to a workflow where I develop almost exclusively with AI assistance. It’s an integral part of my daily work.

Here’s a summary of my current situation and usage pattern:

  • Current Plan: I’m on the $100/month plan for Claude and I have never hit the usage cap.

  • Past Experience: I previously tried Claude’s $20/month plan but reached the limit almost instantly.

  • Daily Usage: According to my Claude Code status line, my daily consumption is consistently between $10 to $15 .

Given this usage, I have two main questions:

  1. Which Cursor plan would be the most appropriate and cost-effective for me? I’ve seen the Pro plan ($20/month), but given my daily spend, it seems I would surpass the included credits very quickly. Would the best approach be the Pro plan with usage-based billing enabled, or should I be considering a higher tier like Pro+ or even Ultra from the start?

  2. What are the key benefits of switching from a Claude-centric workflow to Cursor? I’m interested to know what advantages I can expect by moving to Cursor’s integrated environment, beyond just model access.

I appreciate any insights or recommendations you can provide.

Thanks in advance for your help!

based on what i see other people say, im not sure ultra would be enough for you, but you might give it a shot
