Two agent-first agentic development environments with very different pricing stories. Google Antigravity is free for individuals — paid quota rides on Google AI Pro/Ultra — and doubles as the successor surface for Gemini Code Assist and Gemini CLI. Cursor is Anysphere's VS Code fork, the category incumbent with the largest third-party model pool and cloud background agents.

Pick which

pick Google Antigravity if

You want a free agentic IDE in the Google ecosystem, or you're being moved off Gemini Code Assist's retired individual tier.

pick Cursor if

You want the most-established agentic development environment: the broadest model choice, Composer/agent modes, background cloud agents, and real team plans.

watch out

Antigravity has no standalone subscription — paid quota is bundled into Google AI Pro/Ultra, and free limits have been tightened repeatedly since launch. Cursor's paid plans split usage into two pools; heavy agent use on Pro hits limits fast.
