TaglineAI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater.Wire Cursor's full coding-agent runtime into your own apps, scripts, and CI/CD pipelines with a few lines of TypeScript.The one that actually gets text in images right.Prompt to deployed full-stack app in the browser.

PricingFree + $20/mo ProToken-based; requires Cursor plan (Pro from $20/mo). Composer 2 at $0.50/$2.50 per M tokens (in/out); fast variant $1.50/$7.50 per M tokens.Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/moFree + $20-$200/mo
Best forReplacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.Engineering teams who already use Cursor and want to embed its coding-agent runtime into CI/CD pipelines, backend services, or internal developer tools without building agent infrastructure from scratch.Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks.PMs, founders, non-devs shipping MVPs.
Strengths
  • Sources every claim
  • Fast, current answers
  • Pro Search runs multi-step research
  • Spaces for persistent context
  • Same runtime as the Cursor IDE — no reinventing sandboxing, context management, or model routing
  • Three execution modes: local machine, Cursor cloud VMs (isolated per-agent), or self-hosted workers for air-gapped teams
  • Cloud agents are durable — keep running even if your laptop sleeps or connection drops, and can open PRs automatically on finish
  • Full harness included: codebase indexing, MCP servers, skills, hooks, and multi-agent delegation via subagents
  • Visible in Cursor's Agents Window — programmatic runs can be inspected or taken over manually in the IDE
  • Best text rendering in the game
  • Strong free tier
  • Good for logos, posters, thumbnails
  • Full-stack generation + live preview
  • Deploy to Netlify in one click
  • Works in-browser — no install
Weaknesses
  • Not a general chatbot
  • Answers can be shallow on complex topics
  • TypeScript-only SDK — no official Python or other language bindings at launch
  • Public beta status means API surface and pricing can shift without much notice (Cursor has a track record of surprise pricing changes)
  • Cloud VM costs layer on top of subscription credits, making cost estimation non-trivial at scale
  • Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney
  • Less style variety
  • Quality ceiling for complex apps
  • Can get into loops for non-trivial bugs
Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.If your team is already in the Cursor ecosystem, this is a genuinely compelling way to turn ad-hoc AI coding sessions into durable, automated workflows — but the beta label and Cursor's history with opaque pricing mean you'll want to set hard budget guardrails before going to production. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both.
