Pros and cons

Cursor

Pros

  • Familiar VS Code-based editor with extension and keybinding support
  • Local and cloud agents that can run in parallel on multi-file tasks
  • Choice of models from several providers, including Cursor's own
  • Covers editor, CLI, web, Slack, iOS and PR review in one product
  • Privacy mode and SOC 2 and ISO certifications for team use

Cons

  • Third-party model usage is billed separately from the plan at API list price
  • Pricing is bundled with Grok and uses weekly usage pools, which makes costs harder to predict
  • No Android app, and the iOS app only controls local agents
  • Indexing can be heavy on very large repositories

Suno

Pros

  • Creates full songs with vocals and lyrics from a short prompt or your own lyrics
  • Free plan with 50 daily credits and access to v6-mini
  • Edits a single section, line or word without regenerating the song
  • Web, iOS and Android apps
  • Premier includes Suno Studio with MIDI, effects and multitrack export

Cons

  • Free plan songs cannot be used commercially and are owned by Suno
  • Song downloads are capped at 20 per month on Pro and 60 on Premier, with none on the free plan
  • Suno Studio, personas and advanced stem splitting require the $30 Premier plan
  • Music made entirely by AI may not qualify for copyright protection
  • No public self-serve API; Universal Music Group and Sony Music lawsuits against Suno are reported as still ongoing
