Antigravity vs Cursor in 2026: which to use, and when to use both

Disclosure: Enjoy is our product, and it runs Antigravity, not Cursor. We checked every fact below against Google’s, Cursor’s and OpenAI’s own pages on November 4, 2026, and we say where you don’t need Enjoy at all.

Antigravity vs Cursor, compared

Both are desktop apps where you hand a task to an agent, and both have an editor that suggests code as you type. The real difference is what the plan pays for. Antigravity is Google’s, and its plans include the models: Gemini for free, and Anthropic’s Claude on paid Google AI Pro and Ultra. Cursor, “now a part of SpaceX,” is sold as part of The X Subscription, whose plans include Grok and Cursor’s own Composer, and every other lab’s model costs API prices on top. Both also lose models this month: OpenAI has proposed to stop supplying Cursor on November 12, and Antigravity removes Claude Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.6 and GPT-OSS-120b on November 18.

Antigravity

Best for: a free agent with Gemini, and Claude and Gemini together on one flat plan.

“The Google Antigravity App is your dedicated platform to work with agents,” says its product page, where you “Orchestrate multiple autonomous agents working in parallel across independent projects.” It downloads for macOS, Windows, Linux and Googlebook. Beside it are Antigravity CLI, the Antigravity IDE, whose Editor view “offers tab autocompletion,” and extensions for VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Zed, Xcode and Eclipse. Its features include worktrees, a browser subagent that “drives Google Chrome to test and debug web pages,” and Automations that send “messages to your agents on a schedule, even while you’re away.” Every plan gets “Access to all product features, such as scheduled tasks and the CLI,” and “Unlimited Tab completions.”

Price: free, with Gemini 3.8 Flash and, per Google’s plans page, “A meaningful quota, refreshed weekly.” Google AI Plus, at $4.99 a month, shares the free column of the models table. Google AI Pro, at $19.99, gives “A high, generous quota, refreshed every five hours until the weekly limit is reached,” Gemini 4 Argon, and Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5, all inside that quota. It also brings the Gemini app and 5 TB of storage. Ultra costs $99.99 a month for “5x higher usage limits vs. AI Pro,” or $199.99 for 20 times. Past the quota, purchased AI credits on Pro and Ultra “are consumed at standard Gemini Enterprise consumption pricing.”

Watch for: Claude on a free account is ending. Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6, the only Claude models on Free and Google AI Plus, are marked “Will be removed on November 18, 2026,” and Google lists Sonnet and Opus 5.5 as “Available on Google AI Pro for non-trial subscriptions only,” as our memo on the change explains. Google publishes no quota sizes, its subscriptions page calls AI Pro’s share “Entry rate limits,” and “Usage limits for this service are subject to modification.” You can’t bring a key: there is “currently no support” for “Bring-your-own-key (BYOK) or bring-your-own-endpoint for additional rate limits.” Remote agents, which keep working with your computer off, are for Pro and Ultra, and the changelog says they “are starting to roll out.” And Google’s terms say “We use Interactions to evaluate, develop, and improve Google and Alphabet research, products, services and machine learning technologies,” though its FAQ says “You can opt out of data collection at any point from the Settings panel.”

Cursor

Best for: Grok and Composer for $8 a month, cloud agents you can start from almost anywhere, and many labs’ models at API prices or on your own keys.

Cursor’s models page says it “is sold as part of The X Subscription, one subscription for Grok, Cursor, and X.” The desktop app “is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux,” and Tab “is Cursor’s AI-powered autocomplete. It suggests code as you type, based on your recent edits, surrounding code, and linter errors.” The Agents Window, “Cursor’s agent-first interface,” can “run many parallel agents in the cloud (and work with them from your phone, web, Slack, GitHub, and Linear),” with worktrees for local work. Cloud agents “run in isolated VMs in the cloud” and “do not require your local machine to be connected to the internet.” Automations run them “either on a schedule or in response to events from GitHub, GitLab, Slack, webhooks, Linear, and more,” and Cursor for iOS is “a native mobile app for controlling agents running in the cloud and on your local computer.”

Price: Cursor’s pricing has Free, with “Limited agent requests.” Plus, at $8 a month, runs “Cursor’s own models (Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, and Composer 2.5),” with “No Auto, Cloud Agents, Automations, Bugbot, Origin, third-party models, or your own API keys.” Premium, at $30, has four times Plus’s usage and adds those, with “Third-party models at API list price.” Super, at $100, has 15 times, and Ultra, at $200, 50 times. Per million tokens, in and out, Claude Opus 5.5 is $4 and $20, Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Gemini 4 Argon are $2 and $10, and Gemini 3.8 Flash is $0.75 and $3.75. Cursor Pro at $20, which many comparisons still quote, is now a legacy plan: “They keep working as they are,” but “New customers start on The X Subscription.”

Watch for: Premium’s $30 buys no Claude or Gemini. “Third-party models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini aren’t part of the included pool,” and they’re paid from prepaid credit “from the first request.” GPT is leaving, too. OpenAI told SpaceX it intends to wind down its contract, “with a proposed shutoff date of November 12, 2026,” and its help page says “Cursor may choose to end access sooner.” Cursor’s models page lists GPT-5.6, and none of OpenAI’s GPT-6 models. OpenAI says your own key keeps GPT in Cursor’s local Chat and Agent after the cutoff, but “Cursor doesn’t support ‘Bring your own key’ in Cursor Tab, Auto, Cloud or Background Agents, Automations, the Cursor CLI, or Cursor’s API and SDK.” Our memo on the cutoff has the rest. The weekly pool is “shared across everything on your subscription: Agent in the editor, CLI, Cloud Agents, Grok Bot, and the Grok apps,” and Cursor gives its size only as multiples of Plus. On data, Cursor says that if you turn off Privacy Mode, “we may use and store codebase data, prompts, editor actions, code snippets, and other code data and actions to improve our AI features and train our models.”

Both, side by side

Best for: Antigravity’s free Gemini for routine work, beside Cursor’s editor or cloud agents.

Both work on an ordinary project folder, so you can open the same one in each, and one instruction file serves both. Antigravity’s rules say “You can place an AGENTS.md or GEMINI.md file” in your project, and “Cursor supports AGENTS.md in the project root and subdirectories,” per its rules page. If you want Gemini inside Cursor itself, that’s API prices from Premium, or your own key: Cursor’s API keys page lists “Gemini models available through the Google AI API.”

Price: Antigravity’s free plan, plus your Cursor plan, from Free.

Watch for: they don’t share conversations, so when you move a job, the second app starts fresh, unless you keep notes in a file both can read. You watch two quotas. Google’s extensions page doesn’t list Cursor among its supported editors. And don’t sign other tools in with your Antigravity login: Google’s FAQ says “Using third-party software, tools, or services to access Antigravity is a violation of our Terms of Service,” and “To use a third-party coding agent with Gemini, we recommend using a Gemini Enterprise or Google AI Studio API key.”

Enjoy

Best for: Antigravity with other labs’ own agents in one conversation, when you want several labs’ models on plans you already pay for, not at API prices.

Enjoy is a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux that runs Antigravity on your Google account, beside Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Muse Code, and local models through OpenCode, each signed in with the plan you already have. It doesn’t run Cursor; it’s another way to run Antigravity, and it adds:

• Another agent, mid-conversation. Hand a job from Antigravity to Claude Code or Codex: “The new agent gets the conversation so far, including replies from other agents, before it works on your message.”
• Limits in view, and handled. Enjoy shows “the limits Google shows for each group of models, such as Gemini · Weekly.” When an agent runs out, the conversation waits for the reset and carries on, or you select Stop waiting and choose another agent.
• Grok, if you keep The X Subscription. Cursor’s pricing lists Grok Build on every plan, limited on Free, and Enjoy’s Grok Build “signs in with your Grok or X account.”
• Your code, in view. Project files open “in a code editor with line numbers and colors for the file’s language,” per its help, and agents open your site beside the conversation and try it.

Price: Enjoy is one monthly subscription, and the first seven days are free, with a card to start. It includes your phone and any browser and your other computers, and each teammate you invite needs a subscription of their own. See pricing.

Watch for: Enjoy isn’t an editor in Cursor’s sense. Its code editor doesn’t suggest code as you type: the agents write the code. It doesn’t run Cursor’s agent, Composer or cloud agents. Antigravity in Enjoy runs “the Gemini models Google offers your account,” as our Antigravity guide says, so for Claude through Google, use Google’s own app, and Claude Code in Enjoy needs a Claude plan. Enjoy runs Antigravity through the server Google offers “for Xcode, JetBrains IDEs, Zed, and custom ACP clients,” as its changelog puts it, with one Google account in every project, and its default mode, Bypass permissions, “approves every action, including commands and file changes.” Waiting out a limit needs “Your computer must be on, with Enjoy open, when the usage resets,” and scheduled workflows also run only while it’s awake with Enjoy open. Enjoy isn’t open source, and it’s a monthly subscription on top of your AI plans once the free week ends.

When to stay with the one you have

Stay with Antigravity if Gemini does your work: it’s free, with Tab, the agent and Automations on every plan. If you already pay for Google AI Pro for its storage or the Gemini app, Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5 come with it too, as long as it isn’t a trial. On a free account, plan now for November 18.

Stay with Cursor if Grok or Composer do your work, or if your team starts agents from Slack, GitHub or Linear, or you want a native iPhone app. Its cloud agents are already here, where Antigravity’s remote agents have only begun to roll out. If you’re on a legacy Pro, Pro+ or Ultra plan, think before moving to The X Subscription: it “drops the included third-party model allowance,” and “The switch is permanent.”

Move from Cursor to Antigravity when you pay Cursor mostly for Claude or Gemini at API prices and a flat plan would cost you less, though Claude there runs in Google’s agent, on Google’s quota. Move from Antigravity to Cursor when you want Grok, your own API keys, or agents that already run in the cloud with your computer off. If GPT is the model you want, look past both: after the proposed cutoff, Cursor reaches it only through your own key or OpenAI’s extension, and Antigravity has only “Coming soon.” OpenAI’s Codex runs it on a ChatGPT plan, as our Cursor vs Codex guide covers. Neither company publishes how much usage a plan buys, and both have free plans, so run the same real task in each before you pay.

How we compared

We read Google’s Antigravity product, downloads, pricing, plans, models, features, remote agents, Remote Control, rules, extensions, FAQ, terms and changelog pages and its Google AI plans; Cursor’s pricing, models, usage, billing, X Subscription, legacy plans, API keys, downloads, CLI, Tab, Agents Window, cloud agents, Automations, iOS, browser, rules and data use pages; and OpenAI’s decision on Cursor and its help page, all on November 4, 2026, and every one is linked below. We quote each company’s own words for its limits and leave out what it hasn’t documented, such as the size of any plan’s quota, or whether November 12 will hold. Plans and models change often, so we recheck this guide against its sources at least once a month, and the date at the foot of the page says when we last did.
