| Pricing | Pay per token — model-dependent | Token-based; requires Cursor plan (Pro from $20/mo). Composer 2 at $0.50/$2.50 per M tokens (in/out); fast variant $1.50/$7.50 per M tokens. | Included with ChatGPT Pro $200/mo | Free + $20-$65/mo |
| Best for | Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic. | Engineering teams who already use Cursor and want to embed its coding-agent runtime into CI/CD pipelines, backend services, or internal developer tools without building agent infrastructure from scratch. | Power users willing to pay $200/mo for a browser bot. | Analysts, founders, anyone with a spreadsheet + a question. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | If your team is already in the Cursor ecosystem, this is a genuinely compelling way to turn ad-hoc AI coding sessions into durable, automated workflows — but the beta label and Cursor's history with opaque pricing mean you'll want to set hard budget guardrails before going to production. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds. |
