Continue vs Onlook
Read from each vendor’s own pages last night, so it does not go stale the way a written comparison does.
Before you read on · Acquired since 2 August 2026
Continue was acquired by Cursor and is no longer independent.
continue.dev now reads "Continue has joined Cursor · Continue was acquired by Cursor" and the pricing page is gone. The Apache-2.0 repository is still public and was still being pushed to on 2 August 2026. No announcement date is published, so the date here is when it was first observed.
