The honest take

The AI-first code editor — a VS Code fork now sold only inside X's unified Grok/Premium subscription.

Best for: Developers who want agentic multi-file editing and don't mind buying it bundled with a Grok/X chat subscription

Where it falls short: No longer sold as a standalone coding subscription — folded into X's Grok/Premium bundle; Claude/GPT access is billed separately on top

What you actually get

  • Agentic editing
  • Multi-model
  • Tab autocomplete
  • VS Code

The free tier of Cursor is good enough for casual use. Pay $8/mo only when you start hitting daily caps or need access to the better models.
