Cursor/Claude Research

1. Subscription vs. API Key Mechanics

• Integration: Can an existing direct Claude (Anthropic) or ChatGPT (OpenAI) subscription be used within Cursor, or are they strictly separate? I know Cursor allows API keys to these services, but I am talking about using the Web-based account subscription probably via OAuth or something like that.
• Cost Conversion: What is the "conversion rate" of dollars to tokens? Does $1.00 spent on an API key buy the same amount of "work" (prompts/completion) as $1.00 worth of a monthly subscription?

2. Cursor Plan Comparison (Pro vs. Teams vs. Enterprise)

• Pooled Usage: How does "pooled usage" work in the Enterprise plan? Does it allow high-usage users to automatically draw from the unused allotments of others?
• Administrative Control: On the Teams plan, how do the "usage limit" notifications work, and how does the administrator "top up" a specific user's account?
• Tiered Deployment: Can we realistically give most employees a "small" plan (e.g., $40/mo) while keeping specific power users on "all-you-can-eat" plans within the same organizational account?
• Value Parity: Does $20 on a Teams plan provide the same number of prompts/tokens as $20 on an Enterprise plan?
