I heard that Google AntiGravity is free and much better than Cursor. Is it really free?

Antigravity may gain some ground later
But most people do cursor for now
It's tested by many for this approval
It's a vscode fork like the rest. Got another update a day later. Production improved. Generous usage of upto 3hrs before a 2hr break. Access to to sonnet 4 and gemini 3pro. Google cooked. My crypto pet project is going live in week. What a time to be alive.

That's a misunderstanding. "Google AntiGravity" isn't a real product or a rival to Cursor. It seems to be a made-up name or an internal code name that has been mistaken for a public tool.
Cursor is a real, standalone AI code editor. For a free alternative from Google, you would look at their AI features within existing products like Google Colab or the free tier of Google Gemini API, but these don't function as a direct Cursor replacement.

Facts. It's something that might make us useless as we rely more and more on AI to do tasks that require a lot of effort from our part.
Making things easier can have harmful effects in the long term

Seems like most of the hype around “AntiGravity” is just noise Cursor still feels more reliable and battle-tested for real dev work.

I'm using copilot and grok now. Cursor destroyed a project of mine so I cancelled it. They say it has improved lately.
Ai as a tool for a developer is quite a hack you read docs in minutes then testing is automated. If you rely on the investor demo hype of Antigravity Ai making a pinball machine app that's not the case yet. Maybe their demos only. The rest if you don't know what's going on you are lost.

I had the same problem until I trained him and created a system prompt. Now he's smart and cautious.
Yes, Google Antigravity is free — at least for now. It’s in public preview and Google says there are “generous rate limits” on Gemini 3 Pro usage.

If you get a cheap copilot sub, you can use all models
True, but Google’s free tier is still great for testing unless someone needs heavy usage. Copilot’s paid plan is solid though.

Chatgpt 5.1 is insane BTW
I agree.
