# Cursor vs Pixel

The clearest difference is price: Cursor at Free against Pixel's $1.99. Cursor also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). Pixel's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 14 months). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Cursor is free to download; Pixel costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Pixel holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cursor has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cursor ships an update every 14 months, Pixel every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
