# Cursor vs Port22

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Cursor at 868 against Port22's 1. Cursor also leads on chart position (#2 vs unranked). Port22'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. Cursor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $25.99 per month and Port22 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Port22 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.

Cursor ships an update every 6 days, Port22 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
