Our take
Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Pick Replit Agent if founders and students who want Agent to plan and ship a small app without installing an IDE. Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API. Skip Replit Agent if teams that must keep code off Replit’s cloud, or engineers who want a desktop Agent (Cursor).
