Cursor subscription value questioned amid rising AI model competition

A Reddit user has expressed dissatisfaction with the value proposition of the Cursor subscription, citing its API pricing as significantly lower compared to alternatives like Codex and Claude. The user notes that with the release of GPT-5.6 models and new features in the Codex app, Cursor's perceived value has further diminished. They also mention that models like Luna Medium offer better performance at a comparable or lower cost than previous workhorse models like Composer 2.5, leading them to question the continued use of Cursor.
