Cursor has a free plan and four paid individual plans: Plus at $8 a month, Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200. Teams pay $30, $100 or $200 per seat a month, and Enterprise is custom. Paid plans include a weekly pool of usage for Cursor's own models (Grok and Composer). Third-party models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini aren't included: on Premium and above you pay their API list price from prepaid credit, and on Plus you can't use them at all. Prices exclude tax and are from Cursor's pricing page and docs, checked in November 2026.
Cursor's pricing changed shape in 2026. It is now sold as part of The X Subscription, one subscription that covers Grok, Cursor and X. If you're on an older plan such as Pro, Pro+ or a Teams Standard seat, that plan keeps working, but it no longer matches the pricing page. This guide covers the current plans first, then how usage is billed, then the legacy plans.

Cursor recommends Premium for people new to AI coding, Super for daily agent users and Ultra for power users running several agents or automations. It positions Plus mainly for social creators who want light AI use.
What each Cursor plan includes
Free: $0
Agent and Chat with limited usage. It's enough to try the editor, not to work in it every day. There are no cloud agents, no code review bot and no third-party models.
Plus: $8 a month
Plus is the entry plan, and it's narrower than the price suggests. You get Agent with Cursor's own models only (Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5), at fixed settings: Fast mode off and medium effort. Cursor's docs list what's missing: no Auto, no Cloud Agents, no Automations, no Bugbot, no Origin code hosting, no third-party models and no bring-your-own API keys. Plus also includes Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, and Grok API access.
Who it's for: someone who wants Cursor's editor and is happy to work only with Grok and Composer models.
Premium: $30 a month
Premium is the plan most individual developers will compare. It gives 4x the Plus usage pool and adds:
- Cloud Agents and Automations
- Code hosting on Origin, Cursor's own Git hosting
- AI code review with Bugbot
- Third-party models (Claude, GPT, Gemini and others) at API list price, paid from prepaid credit
- Grok Bot
Who it's for: most people who code with Cursor most days and want access to models beyond Grok.
Super: $100 a month
Everything in Premium, with 15x the Plus usage pool and priority model access at peak times.
Who it's for: daily agent users who keep running out of the Premium pool before the week resets.
Ultra: $200 a month
Everything in Super, with 50x the Plus usage pool and the earliest access to new products and models.
Who it's for: heavy users running several agents or automations at once.
Annual billing
Cursor's docs list annual prices of $80 a year for Plus, $300 for Premium, $1,000 for Super and $2,000 for Ultra. That's two months free compared with paying monthly.
How Cursor usage and billing work
The weekly usage pool
Each paid plan includes one pool of usage for Cursor's own models: Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5. The pool is shared across everything on the subscription: Agent in the editor, the CLI, Cloud Agents, Grok Bot and the Grok apps. It refreshes weekly, so one heavy day can't use up a whole month. Different models draw from the pool at different rates, and your remaining usage and next reset date show in the editor settings.
Third-party models are paid separately
Claude, GPT and Gemini models are not part of the included pool on any current plan. On Premium and above, you can use them from the first request at the model's API list price, paid from prepaid credit. Some examples from Cursor's model pricing table, per million tokens:
| Model | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Sonnet 5.5 | $2 | $10 |
| Claude Opus 5.5 | $4 | $20 |
| GPT-5.6 Terra | $2 | $12 |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | $2 | $12 |
| Grok 4.7 (beyond your weekly pool) | $2 | $6 |
| Composer 2.5 (beyond your weekly pool) | $0.50 | $2.50 |
Opting in to regional data residency adds 10% to the price of eligible models.
What happens when you run out
When the weekly pool runs out you can wait for it to reset, keep working from prepaid credit at the same per-model rates, or upgrade to a bigger plan. Cursor says requests are never downgraded in quality or speed. Prepaid credit is bought as top-ups, or automatically with Auto Top-up when your balance drops below a threshold you set. Credit doesn't reset with the weekly pool; each top-up stays available until used or until it expires, currently 365 days after purchase.
Spending caps
A monthly additional usage limit caps how much paid usage you can consume each month, whatever credit you hold. Set it before you give an agent a long task.
Your own API keys
On individual plans, requests made with your own API key are billed by your model provider and don't draw from your pool or credit. Plus doesn't allow your own keys.

Cursor Teams and Enterprise pricing
Teams is priced per seat. Each member gets a Premium, Super or Ultra seat at $30, $100 or $200 a month, with the same weekly usage as the matching individual plan, and you can mix seat tiers on one team. Plus isn't available for teams. Team plans add centralized billing and administration, a team marketplace for internal rules, skills and plugins, usage analytics, team-wide privacy mode, custom chat data retention and SAML/OIDC single sign-on.
There's one extra charge to know about. On Teams and Enterprise, eligible third-party model requests carry a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens on top of the model's API price, including requests made with your own API key. It doesn't apply to Cursor's own models, to requests in Auto's Cost mode, or to third-party models whose cache-read price is below $0.10 per million tokens.
Enterprise is custom-priced. It adds pooled usage across Grok and Cursor, invoice and PO billing, SCIM seat management, granular spend controls, audit logs and priority support. Cursor recommends Teams for anyone happy to self-serve, and Enterprise for organizations that need invoicing, pooled usage, SCIM or advanced security controls.
What changed: legacy Cursor plans
If you subscribed before the switch, you may be on Hobby, Pro, Pro+, Ultra, or a Teams Standard or Premium seat. Cursor calls these legacy plans. They keep working for existing customers, and they're billed differently:
| Legacy plans | Current plans (The X Subscription) | |
|---|---|---|
| Included usage | Two monthly pools: Cursor Models and Other Models | One weekly pool for Cursor models |
| Third-party models | Included through the Other Models pool on Pro, Pro+, Ultra and Teams | Not included; API list price from prepaid credit on Premium and above |
| Extra usage | On-demand usage, billed monthly in arrears | Prepaid top-ups, with optional Auto Top-up |
| Grok and X benefits | Not included | Included |
Legacy Teams seats were $40 per user a month for Standard and $120 for Premium, which included five times the Standard allowance. Existing teams can still add seats or change seat types without switching. Max Mode is only available on legacy request-based plans, billed at the model's API rate plus 20%; current plans don't include it.
When you switch to a current plan, Cursor cancels your eligible Cursor and Grok subscriptions at checkout and refunds unused time on a prorated basis. The one exception is a Cursor subscription billed through the Apple App Store, which you cancel yourself in your iPhone or iPad settings.
Which Cursor plan should you choose?
| Your situation | Plan |
|---|---|
| Trying Cursor out | Free |
| Light use, happy with Grok and Composer models only | Plus |
| Coding most days, want Claude, GPT or Gemini available | Premium |
| You hit the Premium pool before the weekly reset | Super |
| Several agents or automations running every day | Ultra |
| A team that needs SSO and central billing | Teams |
| Invoicing, SCIM, pooled usage or audit logs | Enterprise |
Before upgrading, check where your usage actually goes. Third-party model usage is paid from prepaid credit on every plan that allows it, so if most of your work runs on Claude, GPT or Gemini, a bigger tier mainly buys a bigger pool of Cursor models you may not use. In that case Premium plus a spending cap can cost less than Super.

How Cursor compares
Cursor is an AI code editor, so it competes with other coding tools on price and workflow. Our comparisons cover Cursor vs Claude Code, Cursor vs GitHub Copilot and Cursor vs Windsurf, which is now Devin Desktop.
If you're not a developer, an AI code editor may be the wrong tool. An AI app builder such as Greta.sh builds a web app from a plain-English description, so you describe what you want instead of editing code. Its free plan gives you 5 credits a day but cannot deploy. Deployment starts on Starter, a $5/month welcome offer (normally $20/month), and Pro, a $20/month welcome offer (normally $50/month), adds the Database, Flows and GitHub version control. See Greta.sh vs Cursor and our guide to AI coding assistants vs AI app builders for where each fits.
FAQ
How much does Cursor cost per month?

Is Cursor free?
Yes, there's a free plan with limited Agent and Chat usage. It doesn't include third-party models, Cloud Agents or Bugbot code review, so most people who code daily end up on a paid plan.
What is the difference between Cursor Plus and Premium?
Plus ($8 a month) only includes Cursor's own Grok and Composer models, at fixed settings, and leaves out Cloud Agents, Automations, Bugbot, Origin and your own API keys. Premium ($30 a month) gives 4x the usage, adds those features, and lets you use Claude, GPT and Gemini at API list price from prepaid credit.
Does Cursor include Claude and GPT models?
Not in the included usage. On Premium and above you can use them at the model's API list price, paid from prepaid credit. On Plus and Free they aren't available. Legacy Pro, Pro+ and Ultra plans still include them through a separate Other Models pool.
What happened to Cursor Pro?
Pro, Pro+ and the old Ultra are now legacy plans. They keep working for existing subscribers, with two monthly usage pools and on-demand billing, but new subscribers choose from Free, Plus, Premium, Super and Ultra.
How do Cursor's usage limits work?
Each paid plan has a weekly pool of usage for Cursor's own models, shared across the editor, CLI, Cloud Agents and Grok apps. When it runs out you can wait for the weekly reset, keep going on prepaid credit or upgrade. You can cap paid usage with a monthly additional usage limit.
Is there a Cursor student discount?
When we checked, Cursor's pricing page and students page didn't list a separate student price; the students page points students to getting started for free. Check Cursor's site for any current offer before you subscribe.
How much does Cursor cost for a team?
Teams pay $30, $100 or $200 per seat a month for Premium, Super or Ultra seats, and can mix seat types. Eligible third-party model usage on Teams also carries a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens. Enterprise pricing is custom.
