Cursor
AI-native code editor with Composer multi-file editing, background agents, and credit-based pricing
Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on VS Code that integrates advanced LLMs for intelligent editing, generation, and refactoring. Key features include Composer for multi-file editing, @codebase for full-project context, background agents (Pro+ and above) for autonomous multi-step tasks, and the Tab model for accurate autocomplete. Moved to a credit-based pricing system in June 2025 — the monthly fee includes a credit pool, and usage of premium models can incur additional charges if exhausted. Supports most VS Code extensions.
