Cursor is a VS Code fork built around AI pair programming — codebase-aware chat, multi-file edits, and agentic refactors that feel closer to a junior dev than autocomplete. Teams shipping daily commits often adopt it alongside GitHub Copilot for deeper project context.
GitHub Copilot embeds in VS Code, JetBrains, and Neovim with suggestions trained on public code — still the default for millions of developers. Copilot Workspace and Enterprise add policy controls for orgs that need audit trails and IP indemnity conversations.
Codeium competes on price — free individual tier, fast completions, and chat across 70+ languages. Teams trying to roll out AI coding without per-seat Copilot bills often pilot Codeium first, then compare retention metrics.
