# Cursor vs Dev Keyboard

The clearest difference is rating: Cursor at 4.7 against Dev Keyboard's 1.0. Cursor also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (868 vs 1). Dev Keyboard's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cursor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $25.99 per month and Dev Keyboard sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cursor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. 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. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Cursor's written reviews are positive against 67% of Dev Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cursor ships an update every 6 days, Dev Keyboard every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
