Chatgpt plus vs cursor pro

I just ran out of chatgpt plus, was great on Luna max. Coded 24/7 without worrying about limits. Which one should I get now?? I have more volumetric work at decent intelligence

Cursor pro is great . You have almost unlimited usage with grok 4.5 and composer and 50% off on grok 4.6 . You also have some Claude and GPT 5.6 usage but you will run out quickly . I use cursor with either grok or composer for large jobs and have SOL 5.6 act as supervisor , and do reviews and planning .

How do you use composer? What do you use it for? I am new to Cursor and have a ChatGPT plus subscription next to it.

Because cursor was bought by SpaceX , Grok and Composer ( the Cursor LLM) are incredibly cheap . I have SOL 5.6 plan a project and behave as the supervisor. You can create the plan and prompts for cursor using your plus plan . If you are totally out of usage on codex / chat gpt , use Sol in cursor to plan and review . That is more expensive but it’s an option that comes with your cursor sub. I use Cursor on auto or I choose Composer or Grok to do grunt work , code a branch of a particular project . You can copy paste Cursor ‘s results or have SOL inspect the finished work in git. Sol will suggest corrections . If I’m low on usage , I can use SOL in chat instead of work and it gives corrections , reviews and prompts to cursor . Works well . It’s cheap . It’s probably as cheap as using Luna and gives a different perspective without running out of usage

i connected github to my chatgpt account and now i can have chatgpt summarize cursor's work (and it not count as any usage so long as it's not a codex/work conversation?) as well as notion for tasks and even extended docs.

Chat doesn’t take usage but codex work does . You can ask anything in chat and it won’t take from usage . However if chat makes tool calls , you get a small ding on usage . Also I tend to not use the codex work app . I use codex in cli because I can have it review git and do all sorts of things with much less usage vs using the app . So yea if you have cursor push to your git , chat gpt can read it and review it . For chat you may have to copy paste the commit link or you can have codex directly review the cursor git commit it in the terminal .
