Editorial note (2026-10-13): this page was rewritten top-to-bottom. Cursor’s pricing page changed structure overnight around 2026-10-12: the Hobby / Pro $20 / Pro+ $60 / Ultra $200 / Teams $40 tiers no longer appear anywhere on the official page. If you read an older version of this page, the numbers below replace it entirely.
The short version
As of 2026-10-13, Cursor sells five individual tiers — Free ($0), Plus ($8/month), Premium ($30/month), Super ($100/month) and Ultra ($200/month) — plus Teams (from $30 per user/month) and Enterprise (custom). Two structural facts matter more than the price points:
- The usage pool is shared across Cursor and Grok. The official FAQ states: “Every tier includes a pool of AI usage shared across Cursor and Grok. Within Grok, the pool covers Chat, Imagine, Voice, Bot, and API access.” This is no longer a code editor with an AI bill — it is one subscription across a product family.
- Third-party frontier models are no longer covered by your plan. From Premium up, the page prints “Third-party models at API list price”, with the footnote that third-party models “are available in Cursor, billed separately by usage”. The old model — where Pro/Ultra tiers bundled a pool of frontier usage — is gone from the pricing page.
Background, secondhand: multiple outlets (CellCog, Basenor, Superpower Daily, CryptoBriefing) reported on 2026-10-12 that Cursor has been folded into an X packaged subscription spanning Free through Ultra at $0/$8/$30/$100/$200 alongside Grok, with existing Cursor subscribers able to keep or migrate. We could not capture an official announcement at check time, so treat the packaging rationale as reported-not-confirmed; the plan table below is from the official page itself.
What each plan includes (official page, captured 2026-10-13)
| Plan | Price | Usage vs Plus | Core inclusion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | Limited | Limited AI usage, limited agent requests, limited Chat requests |
| Plus | $8/mo | Basic | Shared Cursor+Grok pool; “Only Grok models are available on this plan”; Grok API |
| Premium | $30/mo (Most popular) | 4x | Latest Grok models; cloud agents & automations; code hosting; Bugbot AI code reviews; third-party models at API list price; Grok Bot; video generation |
| Super | $100/mo | 15x | Everything in Premium, plus priority model access at peak times |
| Ultra | $200/mo | 50x | Everything in Super, plus earliest access to all products & models |
| Teams | from $30/user/mo | 4-50x pooled | Centralized billing, usage analytics, team-wide privacy settings, SAML/OIDC SSO, mix-and-match seat types, team marketplace |
| Enterprise | Custom | - | SCIM, granular spend controls, audit logs & service accounts, invoice/PO billing |
Prices exclude applicable taxes; the page states cancellation requires notice at least 24 hours before renewal, and prices are subject to change.
Reading the fine print
- Plus is a Grok-only plan. The asterisk is explicit: on Plus, only Grok models are available in Cursor. It is priced ($8) as an introductory tier, not as a serious coding plan.
- The agent features start at Premium. Cloud agents & automations, code hosting, Bugbot AI code reviews and third-party model access are all absent below $30. Cursor’s own FAQ now recommends: “Premium for new AI users, Super for daily agent users, and Ultra for power users.”
- Third-party usage is a separate bill. “Included” now means Grok-family models against the shared pool. If you pin Claude/GPT/Gemini-class models in Cursor, that consumption is billed at API list price separately — the single biggest arithmetic change for anyone comparing against the old Pro $20 tier.
- The Cursor pricing page is now partly an X page. The plan comparison includes X account features (premium checkmark, ad-free scrolling, creator tools, longer posts) on every paid tier — further evidence the ladder is shared across the two products.
Closed doors and traps
- Old numbers floating around are obsolete. Pro $20, Pro+ $60, Ultra-in-FAQ with no price tag — none of that exists on the page anymore. Any Cursor review dated before 2026-10-12 describes a dead structure. Check the date on any Cursor review you read — including, fairly, this one.
- Pricing churn remains the real risk: this is at least the fourth billing restructuring Cursor has shipped in 2026. We date ours accordingly and will re-check on schedule.
- The student free-Pro deal (reported closed June 25, 2026) and the India regional Start plan (launched July 2026) are likewise moot now — neither tier survives on the current page.
Verdict
The honest summary: entry pricing got cheaper on paper ($20 to $8), but what $8 buys is Grok-only, and the frontier-model habit that used to live inside Pro/Ultra now meters separately at API list price from Premium up. For agent-heavy users, budget Premium ($30) plus whatever third-party model usage you actually pin — that is the new equation.
We deliberately don’t score Cursor. Our usage is too light and too narrow to earn the right to a number, and a fake-precision rating is the kind of review noise this site exists to avoid. What we can vouch for is the table above: captured from cursor.com on 2026-10-13 and re-read on 2026-10-15 (five individual tiers and the $30/user Teams seat price unchanged), archived alongside this entry.
