Which plan to pickIf you are on the old $20 Pro plan and it covers what you use, stay put; switching is permanent. New customers should skip Plus unless they are happy with Grok. Premium is the realistic starting point if you want Claude, and budget for the extra usage billing on top of the $30. Large companies can ask about a custom Enterprise plan.Start on the free Individual tier; it is the whole point. If you hit the weekly limits and you also use Gemini for other things, Google AI Pro at $19.99 is a sensible step. Ultra only makes sense for full-time developers.Run the 14-day trial on a busy repository and see how many credits a normal week uses before you pick a credit pack. Talk to sales only if you need SSO or on-premise hosting.

Pros and cons

AttributeCursorGoogle AntigravityQodo
Pros
  • The clearest view of what an AI is doing to your code
  • Autocomplete is still the best in the category
  • Feels familiar instantly if you have used VS Code
  • Cloud agents and code review on the mid plans
  • Free tier is good enough for real projects
  • Agent manager and verification artifacts make reviewing AI work easier
  • Browser agent tests your app, not just the code
  • Included with Google AI Pro, which many people already pay for
  • Reviews use context from the wider codebase, not just the diff
  • Custom rules applied across every repository
  • Supports all the major Git platforms
  • Enterprise hosting options, including on-premise
Cons
  • Cheap plans only give you Grok models
  • Claude usage is billed on top of the subscription at API prices, so the real cost is hard to predict
  • OpenAI models are due to leave Cursor, which narrows the model choice
  • You now buy it bundled with Grok and X Premium, whether you want them or not
  • Agent runs are less thorough than Claude Code on big tasks
  • Free limits have been cut before and could change again
  • Capacity errors at busy times on the free tier
  • Tied to Gemini models, so you cannot bring Claude or OpenAI
  • The product has been renamed and reorganised more than once this year
  • No free plan any more, only a 14-day trial
  • Credit-based pricing makes cost per review uneven and harder to budget
  • Some comments are noise until you tune your rules
  • Product and plan names have changed several times, which makes older reviews confusing
