Cursor vs Grasppy

Cursor

Still the editor most teams reach for when they want agents working inside a real IDE, with cloud agents, PR review and a CLI under one login. Since the SpaceX purchase the price list has been rebuilt around a usage pool shared with Grok: the old $20 Pro plan is gone, the cheapest tier only runs Grok models, and anyone attached to Claude, GPT or Gemini now pays for those separately at API list price.

Pros

• +Agents work with repository-wide context in the editor, the terminal and the cloud
• +Model menu still spans in-house Composer plus Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI models
• +Usage allowance refreshes weekly rather than monthly, so one heavy day does not drain the month
• +Free tier remains for trying agent workflows
• +SOC 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certifications listed for enterprise procurement

Cons

• −The $8 Plus tier is restricted to Grok models, so the realistic entry price for a multi-model workflow is $30
• −Third-party models are no longer included in any plan and bill at API list price on top
• −Pricing has been restructured twice within a year, which makes budgeting a guess
• −Ownership moved to SpaceX in 2026, so roadmap and data policies may shift again

Grasppy

Grasppy addresses a real pain point for anyone doing serious work with AI coding tools: decisions and context that vanish once a chat session ends. It now runs the models itself on monthly credits, so there is no key to bring, but there is also no free plan, and the 14-day trial rolls onto the $29 Light plan unless cancelled.

Pros

• +Captures sessions from 17 AI tools, browser ones included via a Chrome extension
• +Extracts decisions and artifacts instead of just storing raw chat logs
• +Checks finished work against the plan recorded earlier
• +Model usage is included in plan credits, with no provider key to manage

Cons

• −No free plan: the 14-day trial continues on the $29 Light plan unless cancelled
• −Analysis and Ask draw on monthly AI credits, with top-ups at $5 per 1,000
• −Shared seats start only on the $49 Pro plan
