# Tuist vs Cursor

The clearest difference is rating: Cursor at 4.7 against Tuist's 3.0. Cursor also leads on ratings volume (996 vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Tuist's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (18.0.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cursor sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $25.99 per month. Tuist asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cursor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cursor has 996 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Tuist's written reviews are positive against 59% of Cursor's.

Tuist ships an update every 3 weeks, Cursor every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
