FAQ

What's the difference between Cursor and VS Code?+
Cursor is a fork of VS Code with deep AI integration (Tab autocomplete, Composer multi-file editing, Chat). All VS Code extensions and settings work in Cursor, so migration is seamless.
What is Cursor's Composer/Agent mode?+
Composer (now Agent mode) lets AI autonomously handle complex, multi-file tasks. Ask it to 'add a new API endpoint with tests' and it will create and modify all the relevant files in one go.
Is the free Cursor plan enough?+
The free plan includes limited Pro feature usage and basic autocomplete — fine for hobby projects. Professional developers will likely want Pro ($20/mo) for unlimited AI autocomplete and more Agent uses.
Which AI models does Cursor use?+
Cursor supports Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and Claude 3 Opus among others. It auto-selects a model optimized for coding but you can switch manually. Each model has different speed/quality trade-offs.
