Our take
Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Pick Raycast AI if mac users who already live in Raycast and will pay $10/month for credits. Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API. Skip Raycast AI if people on Windows-only desktops, or developers who want a repo agent (Cursor).
