CodeGPT vs Cursor

CodeGPT is an AI coding assistant and agent platform for developers and enterprises. It provides code completion, chat, codebase indexing and an agent that can search code, propose an editable plan, create or edit files, carry out multi-step tasks and verify steps. It integrates with Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm and PhpStorm. Users can work with cloud models or local models through Ollama and LM Studio, including offline workflows for local-model use. With bring-your-own-key access, API keys are stored locally and requests go to the provider the user selects. The free plan lasts indefinitely and includes 10 daily Economy interactions, a $1.00 premium-model welcome credit, unlimited BYOK use and local models. Professional costs $10 a month. Economy access allows one concurrent interactive session and excludes parallel automation and API-style batch workloads. CodeGPT also lists on-premises and private-cloud deployment options.

Cursor is a coding agent for building software, available as a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. Users can select models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, SpaceXAI and Cursor, and launch fleets of agents to work in parallel for hours or days. Cursor also runs in the terminal, collaborates in Slack and reviews GitHub pull requests. Cloud Agents integrate with Slack, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab and Linear. The free Hobby plan includes limited Agent requests and Composer access. Pro costs $20 a month, and Teams costs $40 a month. Every plan includes model usage; on-demand usage can continue after the included amount is consumed and is billed in arrears. Privacy Mode is described as preventing training on customer data, with technical and contractual protections applied through model providers. Enterprise adds repository, model and MCP controls, audit logs and service accounts; pricing is custom and no fixed amount is listed. Cursor holds listed security certifications and attestations, and directs users to its forum or an email contact for private questions.
