Which fits you
Choose Google Antigravity if- An editor from Google with a manager view for running several coding agents in parallel, plus a CLI.
Use it whenYou want to try agent-first development on Google's models without paying up front.
Trade-offTied to a Google account, and newer than the other editors, so features and usage limits are still changing.
Choose Cursor if- You want to see and steer each change inside your editor
Use it whenYou like working in an editor and want to see and steer each change as it happens.
Trade-offHeavy agent use is billed through credits, so costs can grow beyond the base plan.

What makers say
Makers on using it for AI coding assistants, from Product Hunt and Starter Story interviews, each linked to the source. Products with a page of their own and fuller notes first.
On Google AntigravityAccelerated my build speed significantly. It allowed me to run and monitor multiple coding agents in parallel to handle the React components and parsing logic simultaneously.
Used alongside Claude Code throughout development. Antigravity handled its share of the heavy lifting — between the two, the pace of development was something I couldn’t have achieved alone.
The project was bootstrapped from scratch on Google Antigravity, mostly on free provided pro tiers by Google. If only it wasn't for free Gemini model usages in the start, we would not have reached here.
On CursorCursor was our main AI assisted IDE for coding. Writing complex backend logic became so much faster. It literally feels like having a senior developer building the product with you.
Fork of VSCode with an agentic coding focus. Especially easy to manage models and spin up multi-model results for a single query and have all the work trees handled automagically.
Cursor speeds up our coding. It’s like a better version of GitHub Copilot and lets us chat with our codebase, making it easier to navigate and understand. Cant go back without this.

- Tab completion is fast and accurate, and stays useful when hand-editing code or when agents fall short on large tasks. PHHNHN 2PH 2
- Changes arrive as reviewable diffs in the editor, keeping the developer in control in bite-size steps. PHHNHN 2PH 2
- Chatting with the codebase in context helps developers navigate and understand unfamiliar code. PHPH 2PH 3PH 4
