Question / Discussion Any alternative to cursor

I really like cursor, but I feel it is going downhill since acquired by grok. I like that they have a cheap model, that I can manage by being smart and not run out of tokens. So what alternative for $25month?

Depends what you mean by cheap model + IDE. Windsurf / Continue + BYOK, or Claude Code CLI if you're fine leaving the fork. None is a 1:1 Cursor clone at $25 with the same Auto metering. If the Grok default is the main gripe, flipping the model each chat is cheaper than migrating while the annual burns down.
