# RemoteIDE vs Cursor

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Cursor at 807 against RemoteIDE's 2. Cursor also leads on chart position (#2 vs unranked). RemoteIDE's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RemoteIDE sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days 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.

RemoteIDE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cursor has 807 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
