CodingFree plan Checked 26 Sep 2026

What you can do with it

Cursor is an AI code editor for working directly with project files, asking questions about a codebase and requesting changes through an agent. Its free Hobby plan suits occasional coding assistance and trying its Composer workflow. This entry requires downloading a desktop editor rather than using a standalone browser chatbot.
