Cursor is an AI-first code editor rather than a plugin: a full editor built around fast, repository-aware AI editing that blurs the line between assistant and agent. The structural choice enables its speed and whole-repo awareness, but adopting it means switching editors, a behavioral commitment plugins do not require. It offers a free tier, with paid plans from roughly $20/mo. It supports multiple underlying model providers. Teams weigh the capability gain against the friction of changing their daily editor.
