## Which one to pick

- Pick Cursor if: You write code yourself, want an agent inside a real editor on your machine, and plan to host the app wherever suits you.
- Pick Replit if: You'd rather describe the app and let the agent build it, then keep the code, database and live app in one place with nothing to install.
