Our take
Pick CodeRabbit if teams that want an automatic PR walkthrough and will pay when the repo is private. Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Skip CodeRabbit if people who want an in-editor pair programmer (GitHub Copilot) or a credit-pack reviewer (Qodo). Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API.
