## TL;DR
Cursor wins for power users who want full IDE-level AI (multi-file edits, agentic refactors, deep context). Copilot wins for teams already on GitHub who want low-friction autocomplete inside any editor.
## Features
Cursor is a VS Code fork with Composer (multi-file edits), Tab autocomplete, @-symbol context, and best-in-class Claude/GPT integration. GitHub Copilot offers inline completion, chat, and agent mode across VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, and Visual Studio.
## Pricing
Cursor Pro: $20/mo with 500 fast premium requests. GitHub Copilot: $10/mo individual, $19/user/mo business.
## Pros & cons
**Cursor** — best multi-file edits, strongest context handling, fastest model access. Locked to its own editor.
**Copilot** — works in your editor, deep GitHub integration, cheaper individual tier. Less powerful agent mode.
## Best use cases
Cursor for: solo devs and small teams optimizing for productivity, monorepo work, agentic refactors. Copilot for: enterprise teams on GitHub, JetBrains/Neovim users, light autocomplete needs.
## Verdict
Cursor wins on pure capability in 2026. Copilot wins on fit if you're locked into another IDE or live in GitHub Enterprise.
## FAQ
**Can I use both?** Yes — many devs run Copilot in JetBrains and Cursor for heavy refactors.
**Which is cheaper?** Copilot individual ($10) is half the price of Cursor Pro.
