# Cursor vs Cron Lab

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cron Lab at 100% against Cursor's 59%. Cron Lab also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Cursor's advantage is ratings volume (868 vs 2) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Cron Lab 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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Cursor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cron Lab's.

Cursor ships an update every 6 days, Cron Lab fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
