Cursor

AI-native IDE (VS Code fork)

Free tier + paidAI IDEs & coding agentscursor.com

What it is

The market-leading AI-first code editor, a VS Code fork from Anysphere. It combines fast Tab autocomplete, inline edits and an agent that plans and executes multi-file changes, plus cloud agents and the Bugbot reviewer. Runs its own Composer 2.5 model alongside Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Gemini 3.1 Pro and Grok 4.6.

Why it earns a slot

The default pick when you want one polished tool that does everything well. Tab completion is still the best in the business, and the autonomy slider takes you from single-line edits to hours-long cloud agents without ever switching apps.

Know before you commit

Usage is credit-metered, not unlimited — heavy agent work on Pro burns the included $20 of model spend fast, then bills overage. Anysphere acquired Continue.dev in June 2026, and xAI holds an option to buy Cursor for $60B.
