# Cursor

Gives you a code editor and CLI with a built-in agent that plans, edits and reviews changes across your repo

Category: Coding agents. Pricing: Free tier + paid. License: Proprietary.

Platforms: macos, windows, linux.

## Why you would want it

Cursor is a desktop editor with an agent that searches and reads your repo, makes multi-file changes and shows them as diffs to review. Plan Mode researches the codebase, asks clarifying questions and waits for your approval before building, and the same Agent, Plan and Ask modes are available in the Cursor CLI. Premium and higher plans add Cloud Agents that keep running while you are away, Automations and Bugbot code review.

## Best for

- Developers who want the agent built into the editor
- Moving work between editor, terminal and cloud agents
- Teams that want Bugbot code review

## Use it when

You want one editor with the agent built in, plus a CLI and cloud agents that share the same modes and subscription.

## Skip it if

You want Claude, GPT or Gemini models on a low tier: third-party models need Premium or higher and are billed at API list price from prepaid credit, and the Free plan has limited usage.

## Editor note

Cursor is now sold as part of The X Subscription, with a weekly usage pool shared with Grok; Pro and Pro+ are legacy plans.
