Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Pick Gitpod if engineers who will stay on Free (3 parallel envs) while they open a first Ona session, then Core from $20/month (up to 100 members, unlimited parallel on the sunset story) when they need the paid org tile — not hourly Large $0.46 unless they size a session up. Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code
