About Cursor

Cursor is your coding agent for building ambitious software.

Cursor is an AI coding platform and development environment that helps developers write, edit, search, and understand code using natural-language instructions. It features agentic development workflows, allowing developers to delegate coding tasks to AI agents for multi-file edits, code generation, and code review with tools like Bugbot. It supports both local and cloud agents and offers context-aware code completion.

About Supermaven

An AI code completion tool whose technology is now integrated into Cursor after its acquisition.

Supermaven was a high-performance AI code completion extension known for its speed and large context window, utilizing a custom-built 'Babble' model. It was acquired by Anysphere (Cursor) in November 2024, and its standalone product was wound down in late 2025. Its core technology has since been integrated into Cursor's offerings, though existing users may still receive free autocomplete inference for the deprecated standalone plugin.

Cursor takes the edge

With a MegaOne score of 9/10 versus 4/10, Cursor edges ahead of Supermaven in our analysis. However, Supermaven may still be the better choice depending on your specific use case and budget.
