Cursor vs. Claude Code on Token Costs

Work by Krunal and his team at Jeavio found that Cursor is significantly more expensive (when it comes to Tokens) than Claude Code.

In the post below, Krunal outlines his method – building the same feature using various combinations of Tools (Cursor, Claude Code), Models (Opus, Sonnet, Composer), and AI development frameworks (SpecKit, Superpowers, OpenSpec and BMD).

His findings are surprising and insightful and allowed us to make considered choices when it comes to Jeavio’s AI development strategy.
