I use Cline + Openrouter API. It is good enough for me to replace Cursor.
Oh yeah that’s a great combo.
I am looking into other options myself, as my Copilot subscription is about to end.
I researched a bit but i can't seem to figure out how to get this combo to work.
Any pointers or tips on how you work?
i figured it out eventually and it's not quite bad!
however i am looking for something else. the credits model doesn't work for me.
i am looking into local LLM models using Ollama and continue.dev ad mentioned in another comment below.
That's pretty cool, Emmanuel! I have been using Cursor for some time, it is good, but I would really like to know what are the best Open Source Alternatives!
Always a good idea to have some good alternatives. 😎
Augment Code?
Great question! If you’re referring to AugmentCode, it’s a promising open-source AI coding assistant designed for IDE integration.
It’s still early-stage compared to others on the list, but definitely worth watching as it matures.
Great Resources!
Thank you Aryan
Very interesting list. I use Github Copilot mostly (at work), and has been playing around Cline. Now I have more toys to play with. Any of them supporting Ollama?
Yes — several tools here support Ollama either natively or with light config. Continue.dev works with Ollama out of the box, and OpenDevin and Smol Developer can be set up to use it as a local backend.
Great choices if you want to keep things private and fast. Enjoy exploring
Ah, that's fancy to know these Open Source tools to replace Cursor! Good list!

Great post! It’s impressive to see how much the open-source community has stepped up with real, usable alternatives to tools like Cursor. Continue.dev and TabbyML are definitely on my radar now. Thanks for curating this list ; super helpful!
Great roundup! It's exciting to see so many open source tools stepping up as viable Cursor alternatives. With AI-enhanced coding becoming the norm, it's good to have options that offer transparency, customization, and no vendor lock-in.
Thanks for sharing ❤

pretty cool seeing so many new open source options pop up every year, kinda makes me ask myself if it’s all about community energy or if something else keeps these tools getting better over time?
Good information 🙏
Amazing list!
Love seeing so many open-source options getting the spotlight - LangGraph and Continue.dev have really changed how I work. Has anyone tried combining a couple of these tools for a more complete setup?
It's very cool 😎
I'd like to share this article in Japan site(qiita).
Is it ok?
I'm curious how much you get paid for posting AI slop. Is it actually enough to justify the effort?
"blending human creativity with AI precision" yeah we're in danger.
