[Cursor](/startups/cursor) is better than Claude Code. More accurate. Cheaper. Claude Code lost the top spot. Cancel it and switch.

You can use it like Claude Code. Open the folder. Type `agent`. I use the command line. That is the preference. You can also start a cloud agent and close the laptop. It keeps working.

```
curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash
# Windows: irm 'https://cursor.com/install?win32=true' | iex
agent login
cd /path/to/your/project
agent
```

Cloud agent: IDE dropdown, [cursor.com/agents](https://cursor.com/agents), Slack or GitHub `@cursor`. Then close the laptop. Self-hosted: `agent worker start`.

[Cursor Pro is $20 a month](https://cursor.com/pricing). Pro+ is $60. Ultra is $200. Teams is $40 per user. Annual saves 20%. [Claude Pro is €18 a month](https://claude.com/pricing) (€15 if you pay €180 for the year). That is the plan Claude Code sits on. Max starts at €90. One Cursor plan. Not both.
