Google AI Pro vs Cursor Pro

Both cost the same $20/mo.

Google AI Pro vs Cursor Pro: choose Cursor Pro if coding is the main job. Measured on Google AI Pro, one pass of our fixed task set fits about 80 tasks a week with Gemini 3.8 Flash. Both cost the same $20/mo.Measured

Our verdict

Choose Cursor Pro if coding is the main job. The IDE, visible progress, model choice, and larger pool for Composer and Grok make it easier to work with than Antigravity.

Choose Google AI Pro when its 5 TB of storage, YouTube Premium Lite, Home Premium, NotebookLM, and Google app integrations are worth more to you than the coding agent.

Google AI Pro has no Gemini model we would pick for coding now. Sonnet 5.5 does the fast, cheap work better. Antigravity is rough and often leaves you guessing what it is doing. The plan also includes 5 TB of storage, NotebookLM, YouTube Premium Lite, Home Premium and Gemini in Google apps.

Pros

  • 5 TB of storage
  • A broad Google services bundle

Cons

  • No Gemini model we would pick for coding
  • Antigravity is rough

Best for People who want basic AI usage and will use the Google bundle.

How far it goes: about 4 to 6 times a week

Our whole real-world issues and spec planning pass runs about 4 to 6 times a week on this plan, depending on which model you run.

That works out at about 73c to $1.09 of the subscription per run, at the list price.

Measured on this plan, at 15.9% to 23.7%/1w of its allowance per run. A share belongs to the plan it was measured on, so we never subtract one plan's from another's.

Cursor Pro lets you switch between providers. Its agent runs inside the editor, which suits people who still read and edit the code themselves. Composer 2.5 is not capable enough for serious work. OpenAI plans to leave Cursor on November 12, 2026, which will narrow the model choice.

Pros

  • Agent built into the IDE
  • Models from several providers

Cons

  • Composer 2.5 is weak
  • OpenAI plans to leave Cursor on November 12, 2026

Best for People who still read their code and want to switch between models.

How far it goes: about 50 times a month

Our whole real-world issues and spec planning pass runs about 50 times a month on this plan.

That works out at about 41c of the subscription per run, at the list price.

Measured on this plan, at 2.0%/1m of its allowance per run. A share belongs to the plan it was measured on, so we never subtract one plan's from another's.
