About Cursor

An AI-first code editor built on VS Code, designed to make writing and understanding code faster and more efficient through advanced AI models and agentic workflows.

Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on Visual Studio Code, integrating large language models directly into the developer workflow. It offers features like AI-powered editing, codebase-aware chat, inline error fixing, and multi-model support. Cursor 2.0 introduced Composer, its first proprietary coding model, and an agent-centered interface that allows running up to eight AI agents simultaneously for enhanced productivity, enabling developers to delegate coding tasks to AI agents while maintaining control.

About Supermaven

Supermaven was an AI coding assistant that provided ultra-fast, context-aware code completions with a large context window.

Supermaven was an AI-driven coding assistant known for its ultra-fast code completions and a 1 million token context window, integrating with popular IDEs like VS Code, JetBrains, and Neovim. It was acquired by Cursor (Anysphere) in November 2024, and its standalone product was officially sunset on November 30, 2025. Its core technology, including the Babble model and long-context autocomplete ideas, has since been integrated into Cursor Tab.

Cursor takes the edge

With a MegaOne score of 9/10 versus 3/10, Cursor edges ahead of Supermaven in our analysis. However, Supermaven may still be the better choice depending on your specific use case and budget.
