Cursor Alternative

Glide is purpose-built for operations teams—not developers navigating AI pair programming. While Cursor is a powerful tool for coders, Glide helps non-technical teams build secure, scalable business apps without writing code. You get structure, speed, and clarity—without having to prompt an AI to write functions.

Yes—and without writing or reviewing code. Glide offers a visual builder that lets you connect data, design layouts, automate workflows, and control access—all without engineering help. Cursor expects you to write code (or debug AI code), while Glide gives you fully functional apps, fast.

Cursor requires a developer to scale—Glide doesn’t. As your app grows, Glide gives you performance, role-based access, and structured data models that scale cleanly with your team. With Cursor, you’re on your own to refactor and manage complexity as code evolves.

Yes. Glide is built with security and governance in mind, including SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, role-based access, and SSO. Unlike Cursor—which runs AI models on your code in the cloud—Glide apps are private by default and managed within a platform built for business-grade security.

Cursor is purpose-built for solo developers writing code. Glide is optimized for teams building systems that increase productivity. With Glide, ops teams, analysts, and managers can create tools themselves—no engineering bottleneck, no token limits, no AI hallucinations. Just real software that works.

Glide integrates AI directly into your workflows—no code required. You can summarize content, extract data, or generate insights with simple, visual actions. With AI-native builders, AI is focused on writing code. In Glide, AI helps your whole team work smarter—inside real business tools, not the terminal.
