With an ultra subscription price of $200, Cursor gives you approximately $500 worth of API requests. But even that limit isn't enough for me. So I switched to Claude Max for $100. But the problem is that I really like Cursor as an IDE, and Claude only provides a terminal or a plugin for VS Code. So I had to use Claude to write a script that proxies all requests from Cursor to the Claude Max subscription, bypassing API requests. Try doing the same for yourself. As a result, you will pay $100 for Claude, and you will have access to approximately $2,000 worth of API requests.
I use antigravity now, I think they made it a little bit more stable, it crashes less often lately. Limits are quite high. Someone made a proxy tool to use your antigravity token allowance in claude-code, I haven't tried it but worth considering if you want cheaper option for claude-code.
Antigravity has per model limits, so you can start by using opus 4.6 then use opus 4.5 then use gemini-3-pro before you have to start paying additional tokens.
I spent 1500 this month. Crunch time on a project so I went for it.
opus 4.5-4.6 costs of about 250 per day
had requests vary between 5 cents and 45.74 per call...
Hand to God, truly not that many calls per day. Just constant steering.
I essentially gave them my lunch money hand over fist.
opus performance was fantastic.
Though the cost confusion with cursor pricing and well known upcharge is why I'm intending to churn next month to go direct to source with Claude code... without the middle man.
compose 1.5 might keep me from churning now that I'm across the finish line on the project. But 1500usd could have given me Claude code for the year.
Frankly they could be making sh*t up with the cost per call... "Nobody is going to know."

Claude Code has gotta be way cheaper for this, right?
