About
Cursor is a standalone AI-first code editor (built on VS Code's foundation) for pair programming with AI. It indexes your entire codebase, supports virtually every frontier model, and ships background cloud agents, Tab completion, and Bugbot code review — natively in the editor, CLI, and a companion iOS app.

Pros
- Supports virtually every frontier model (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Composer) side by side
- Deep codebase awareness via semantic indexing gives strong repo-wide understanding
- Background and cloud agents can build, test, and open PRs end to end
- Bugbot automatically flags issues during code review
- Fast, low-latency Tab completion tuned specifically for autocomplete
- Genuine free Hobby tier to try before paying
Cons
- Steep jump from Pro ($20/mo) to Ultra ($200/mo) for heavy users
- Usage-based billing beyond included credits can get expensive fast
- Not a VS Code or JetBrains plugin, so switching has more friction than installing an extension
- Enterprise pricing is not published and requires a sales contact
- Closed-source despite a public GitHub repo used only for issue tracking
- Frequent model and pricing changes make monthly cost hard to predict
