Coding

Cursor

An AI coding product with a desktop editor, a command-line tool and cloud agents that work on tasks in parallel. Paid plans bundle Grok AI features.

Our verdict

A capable agent-centric editor, but since joining SpaceX its cheapest paid plan is limited to Grok models, so check plan details if you want other models.

Use it for

  • Ai code editor
  • Multi-file edits
  • Cloud coding agents
  • Code review

Other coding tools

  • Claude Code

    Handles larger multi-file tasks well, but it needs a paid Claude plan or API usage and plan usage limits apply.

    From $20/moBest for developers who want an agent to handle multi-step coding tasks

  • Codex

    Easy to try since it comes with ChatGPT, including the free plan, but the free tier is meant for quick tasks and serious use needs a paid plan.

    FreemiumBest for chatGPT users who want a coding agent without a separate subscription

  • GitHub Copilot

    The easiest pick if your code lives on GitHub, but the free plan limits chat and agent use, and heavy agent work burns through credits.

    FreemiumBest for developers already working in GitHub and mainstream IDEs
