The decision
Should Cursor make your shortlist?
Start with the job, the team, and the constraints. Product fit becomes much clearer when those three line up.
Practical use cases
Jobs it can take on
- Generate and modify code from natural-language instructions
- Create tests and run them through an agent workflow
- Review pull requests and address code issues
Before you choose
Know the tradeoffs
- The free Hobby plan includes limited agent requests and limited Tab completions.
- Plans include a set amount of model usage, with on-demand usage billed after the included amount is consumed.
- Cursor CLI is currently in beta.
Inside the product
What you can actually do with it.
The core product capabilities, grouped around the work they enable.
Coding agents
Cursor agents can plan and build tasks, including creating and testing code changes.
Tab completion
Cursor's Tab feature suggests multi-line and multi-file code completions as developers work.
Cursor CLI
The Cursor CLI lets developers interact with agents from the terminal to write, review, and modify code.
Typical workflow
Open an existing codebase or project in Cursor, then use autocomplete, inline edits, or an agent prompt to describe the work needed. Review the proposed changes and use agents in the editor, terminal, or cloud workflows to continue development.
