# CodeVibe vs Cursor

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Cursor at 868 against CodeVibe's 1. Cursor also leads on chart position (#1 vs #199). CodeVibe's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CodeVibe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Cursor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $25.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CodeVibe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cursor has 868 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
