Who should pick which

These solve different problems. Replit Agent lives in the browser: describe an app and it builds, adds a database and deploys it, with no local setup. Core is $20/month ($18 annual) and includes $20 of model credit. Cursor is a desktop editor for working in your own repo, with agents, code review and plans from $8/month. Founders and non-specialists shipping a hosted app should start with Replit. Developers maintaining real codebases with their own tooling should pick Cursor.
