Cursor

Coding

Cursor is an AI-first code editor, a VS Code fork, that pairs autocomplete with an agent that edits across a whole codebase. It offers the most mature agentic IDE experience: deep codebase indexing plus best-in-class tab autocomplete in a familiar editor.

How to use Cursor

Install the desktop editor or open an existing VS Code workspace, then use the inline-edit shortcut for quick changes and the chat panel for the agent. Point the agent at a task and it plans, edits multiple files, and runs terminal commands with your approval. Pick your model per request and lean on tab completion for line-level work.

Best for

Whole-codebase edits and refactors through the agent. Fast multi-line autocomplete that predicts your next edit. Switching between frontier models in one editor.

How it behaves

A desktop IDE, not browser-based, that runs frontier models from several providers plus its own model. It has an agent mode, background agents, and code review, and bills on a per-plan credit pool.

Tips

Use tab completion for line-level work and the agent for multi-file tasks. Pick the model per request to balance cost and quality. Approve terminal commands as it runs.

Pricing

Free hobby tier. Pro is $20/mo, Pro+ is $60/mo, and Ultra is $200/mo for heavy use, with Teams at $40 per user.
