I think one of the main selling points of Cursor, as an investor-backed company, is that it's cheap. For $0.04 per prompt, I can get Claude 3.7 Sonnet to use 25 tool calls. In comparison, one of the images in the article shows either one prompt or a conversation that cost $7 (a third of Cursor's monthly subscription).

Very true! but sometimes the $0.04 and 25 tool calls, cannot get you to the right solution no matter how many times you re-prompt. And that's where Cline has been better for me.
It's almost like hiring. Would you pay a premium for the very best dev, or would you pay less for an average dev. :)
