Cursor

// Anysphere
Code & Development

// Description

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on VS Code that deeply integrates AI assistance into the development workflow. With features like autocomplete, in-editor chat, and the ability to understand entire codebases, Cursor has established itself as the leading tool for AI-assisted software development.

Compared to GitHub Copilot (broader IDE support but less deep integration), Cursor offers a more complete experience: the chat understands the entire project context, can reference files, and implement changes directly in the editor. Cursor uses Claude and GPT models for code generation.

Especially relevant for agency development teams: Cursor significantly accelerates website, app, and automation development — typical time savings of 30–50% on routine coding tasks.

// Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Cursor cost?
Cursor offers a free plan with limited AI requests. Pro costs $20/month with 500 premium requests. Business costs $40/user/month with extended team features and admin controls.
Cursor vs. GitHub Copilot — which is better?
Cursor offers a deeper AI experience with project context understanding and in-editor chat. GitHub Copilot is more widely available (VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim etc.) and better for inline suggestions. For dedicated AI development we recommend Cursor, for existing IDE setups Copilot.
Which AI models does Cursor use?
Cursor supports multiple LLMs: Claude (Sonnet and Opus), GPT-4o, GPT-5, and more. You can choose the model per task — e.g., Claude for complex refactorings, GPT for quick autocompletes.
