Cursor
Anysphere
Best for: Productivity for people who want a checked, free option.
Cursor is the editor that made AI pair-programming mainstream: tab-completions trained on your codebase, inline chat, and agents that can plan and execute multi-file changes, plus code review (Bugbot) and cloud agents.
Tiers: Free ($0) with limited agent and chat requests; Plus $8; Premium $30; Super $100; Ultra $200/month; Teams from $30/user.
It fits developers who live in their editor and want AI where the code is — not in a separate tab.
The honest limits. Free-tier agent requests run out quickly on real work; the strongest models sit on paid tiers. Not used first-hand; confirm at cursor.com/pricing.
