Conditional

The most polished AI editor experience today, but usage-based pricing makes costs unpredictable for heavy agent-mode users — budget before you standardize on it.

Is it right for you?

Good for

  • Teams already on VS Code: extensions, keybindings, and settings carry over

Not good for

  • Predictable budgeting — usage-based pricing makes heavy agent months expensive

Our experience

We ran Cursor across our own product work for four months, including agent-mode sessions on multi-file refactors. The editor experience is consistently ahead of plugins-on-VS-Code setups; the pricing change mid-trial moved our team cost up 38% at unchanged usage.
