| What it does | Cursor provides AI coding agents across desktop and terminal environments with tools for working in software projects. | GitHub Copilot is an AI coding agent that helps developers write, understand, review, and ship code inside their editor, the CLI, and GitHub. |
| When to consider it | Consider it when you work in a codebase and want assistance with planning, implementing, and reviewing code changes. | Consider it when your code already lives on GitHub and you want completions, chat, and agent work connected to repositories and pull requests. |
| What to check first | Review generated changes and run the relevant checks. Confirm current model access, usage billing, and repository data settings before enabling it for a team. | The free plan documents a monthly completion cap and limited chat and agent usage; cloud agent and pull request reviews require a paid plan. Paid usage is metered in AI credits. |
