# Cursor vs Status Bar Studio

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Cursor at 868 against Status Bar Studio's 2. Cursor also leads on chart position (#2 vs unranked). Status Bar Studio'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 Status Bar Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
