Cursor engagement report
@cursor_ai - 476K followers on X
Measured over 8 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 28, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.4K interactions against 476K followers, an engagement rate of 0.714%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 94% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 571K times each, and 0.594% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 119.9% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.83 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video, 63% are part of a thread and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 17K interactions, about 5.1x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Cursor's engagement rate beats 94% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 38% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.714%, Cursor sits above the 75th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.433% to 2.10%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 3.4K interactions against 476K followers, an engagement rate of 0.714%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 94% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 571K times each, and 0.594% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Cursor's engagement rate on X?
- Cursor (@cursor_ai) has an engagement rate of 0.714%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 475,933 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.714%, Cursor sits above the 75th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @cursor_ai have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 94% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the top 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @cursor_ai post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.83 posts per day across the measured window.
