Cursor vs Claude Code vs Codex vs Copilot: which to choose

All four can read and edit a whole project. The real differences are form (IDE or terminal), billing and what you already pay for. Choose the form first, then the price.

Scenario: Code with AI: choose tools, keep quality →

Symptoms

  • You can’t decide which to buy and fear paying twice
  • One tool felt awkward and you’re not sure if it is the tool or your workflow

Common causes

  • The tools have similar capabilities and all market “agents”
  • Many pricing tiers mix monthly plans, requests and tokens

How to fix

  1. Want diffs and per-hunk accept in a VS Code-style editor: choose Cursor or GitHub Copilot
  2. Terminal-first, frequent multi-file changes: choose Claude Code or Codex CLI
  3. Already paying for ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro: use the bundled Codex or Claude Code before buying more
  4. Lowest budget: GitHub Copilot Pro at $10/mo; verified students get Copilot free
  5. Bring your own key, Chinese or local models: open-source Cline, Aider or OpenCode
  6. Whatever you pick, add an AGENTS.md at the repo root and make the agent run tests before editing
