I'm curious how this compares pricing-wise to Github Co-pilot for personal use:

Co-Pilot:

$10/month or $100/year (save $20 if you buy the yearly). Unlimited requests, no throttling

It uses OpenAI’s Codex model, a descendant of GPT-3[1]. They do seem to be working on the next iteration of co-pilot which will be GPT-4 powered, code named "Co-Pilot X"[1,2]

Cursor:

- Basic plan: FREE, but with 50 GPT-4 uses (I assume total because it doesn't specify per month), and 200 GPT-3.5 uses per month

- Pro plan: $20/month 500 "fast" GPT-4 uses per month, unlimited "slow" GPT-4 and unlimited everything else.

If GPT-4 proves to much better than Co-Pilot's version of GPT-3 then maybe Cursor might be worth it. Wonder how long that 500 would last for a typical dev.
