About Cursor

Cursor is the standalone AI code editor that most developers in 2026 consider the most complete AI coding tool on the market. Built as a fork of VS Code, it layers Supermaven autocomplete, Composer for multi-file edits, Agent mode for background tasks, in-editor PR review, and native MCP support into a familiar IDE — zero switching cost from VS Code. Multi-model: Claude for reasoning, GPT for code generation, Gemini for fast iterations, all in one editor. Pricing: Free (2K completions/mo, 50 slow premium requests), Pro $20/mo, Pro+ $60, Ultra $200, Business $40/user/mo.
