AI Coding Tools Pricing Guide

AI coding tools increasingly combine subscriptions, model-specific limits, API usage, credits, and caching rules. The practical question is not only which tool is cheaper, but which workflow creates predictable monthly cost.

Tools to compare

• Claude Code: useful for repository-aware terminal workflows and long context tasks.
• Codex: useful for agentic coding tasks connected to ChatGPT plan usage.
• Cursor: useful for editor-native coding with plan and model-pool considerations.
• GitHub Copilot: useful for GitHub-native workflows with plan and credit assumptions.

Cost variables that matter

• Input tokens and repeated repository context.
• Output tokens from patches, explanations, and test logs.
• Prompt cache write and cache hit rules.
• Task frequency per day and per month.
• Included plan usage, budget, or credits.
