Hey devs, which AI coding assistant actually worth the money in 2026?

So I’ve been using the free version of Cursor but it’s getting annoying lol

Wanna upgrade to Pro but Claude Code and Copilot are also options??

Mainly doing React/Node stuff, occasional Python scripts

What’s actually worth it?? Budget is fine but don’t wanna waste money 😅

Copilot here, don’t sleep on it! 😴

The IDE integration is seamless and it works in basically everything

Sure Cursor is flashy but Copilot has Microsoft backing + continuous improvements

For $10/mo you can’t really go wrong honestly

Been using Cursor Pro for 3 months now and honestly it’s 🔥

The AI chat is super smart and the autocomplete actually understands my code structure

But Claude Code is also tempting because it’s cheaper and the CLI is clean

I’d say try both with free trials first lol
