Cursor

Cursor is in the stack, but our use is intentionally limited. We keep it on the free tier because we do not use it as the main coding environment; it is useful for lightweight code inspection and occasional editor workflows.

VERDICT
Free tier is the right call for us right now. Pay only if Cursor becomes the place where coding actually happens.

Best for

  • Opening and inspecting code quickly when the editor ergonomics help
  • Light edits, local navigation, and quick AI-assisted explanations
  • Trying Cursor-specific workflows without adding another recurring subscription
  • Teams that actually want an AI-first editor as their daily coding surface

Skip if

  • You already have a working coding agent workflow outside Cursor
  • You would pay for Pro without using agent requests heavily
  • The repo contains data or code you are not approved to expose to editor AI features
