Double billing
You pay Cursor $20/mo for the editor, then pay OpenAI/Anthropic for the tokens. That's two bills for one workflow.
Your models, your keys
You already have API keys for Claude, GPT, Codex. Cursor and Copilot charge you a monthly subscription to access them. That's a tax on using your own infrastructure. AgentHippo is a full IDE — bring your keys, pay for what you use.
