How does Google Antigravity compare with the alternatives?
Where engineers work decides it, since both agents plan, edit code, run commands, and check UI in a browser. Cursor centers on its own editor, with cloud agents and models from several providers. Antigravity centers on a desktop agent manager and CLI, reaches other editors through extensions, and comes with Gemini Enterprise seats.
Move each team to Antigravity CLI before its Code Assist contract ends. Gemini CLI now serves only existing Code Assist subscribers and paid API users, and Google no longer sells new Code Assist subscriptions. Antigravity CLI is the successor for terminal work, with the desktop app and editor extensions around it.
Claude Code and Antigravity run agents from desktop apps, terminals, and editor extensions, so compare the models you need and where you buy them. Claude Code uses Anthropic's agent software and contract. Antigravity runs Gemini and, on eligible plans, Claude under a Google contract.
Codex pairs a desktop agent app with a CLI, editor extensions, and cloud tasks under ChatGPT plans. Antigravity pairs its app, CLI, and extensions under Google AI plans or Gemini Enterprise seats. Start with the AI contract your organization holds.
