API rates are the real rates. Subscription costs are the "first hit is free" subsidized pricing.

They’re not the “real rates”, they’re the rates that are being charged for API use. API reportedly has a margin of profit

You also neglect that products like Cursor run on two margins, their own plus the API provider’s. That’s always going to come at a premium
