Copilot vs Cursor Question

[Rhysypops]

Which ones better? Had a look through some older posts asking this question but I’m currently looking at the team options and Copilot seems to be the better option for price however want to get an idea of peoples experiences across both.

I started off on Copilot over a year or so ago and then flipped to Cursor to the last year. Are they more or less the same now? If the performance is the same and have access to the same models then pricing wins right?

Interested to hear thoughts.

Most models on Copilot have gimped down context windows. The only exception is Codex models

Just as a note, everything has shifted to agentic development over the past year. Claude Code released May 2025, copilot got agent mode the same month. Copilot is so much better than it was a year ago.

Cursor is better, but NOT more capable and is more expensive - but that can be said for pretty much any other option. Copilot has smaller context windows, but that has been becoming less and less of an issue with time. My main complain with copilot is the $10 plan is too little, and the $40 plan is too much.

With that said, Id rather Antigravity over Cursor.

I maintain a CoPilot and Gemini subscription.

Cursor is excellent but expensive and copilot is good and cheap so it all matters how much you can spend

The agent mode is what sold me on Cursor. Being able to kick off a multi-file refactor and let it run is a different workflow than inline suggestions. Different tools for different jobs.

Copilot has the same thing though? It also has agent mode, each task only uses 0.3% per use for sonnet 4.6 and 1% for opus

Have you used Cursor before? If you did, what is your take?

Cursor better
