Cursor pricing in 2026: how much does each plan cost?

Cursor pricing list, verified October 14, 2026

Every figure below comes from cursor.com/pricing, captured on October 14, 2026. The page quotes monthly rates that exclude applicable taxes and fees.

• Free ($0/month): limited AI usage with limited agent and chat requests. The Cursor Agent is available.
• Plus ($8/month): described as the introductory plan, with a shared AI usage pool, Grok API access and a Premium checkmark on X. A footnote states that only Grok models are available on this plan.
• Premium ($30/month): flagged most popular. Four times the Plus usage, latest Grok models, cloud agents and automations, code hosting through Origin, AI code reviews through Bugbot, Grok Bot, and third-party models at API list price.
• Super ($100/month): fifteen times the Plus usage pool plus priority model access at peak times.
• Ultra ($200/month): fifty times the Plus usage pool and earliest access to new products and models.
• Teams ($30+/user per month): pooled usage in the 4x to 50x Plus range, centralized billing and administration, usage analytics, SAML/OIDC single sign-on, and a team marketplace for internal rules, skills and plugins.
• Enterprise (custom): pooled usage, invoice and purchase-order billing, SCIM seat management, granular spend controls and priority support. Sold through contact sales, with no public price.

Three housekeeping details sit in the fine print rather than the cards. Prices exclude taxes, third-party model usage is not included in any monthly price, and you can cancel at any time at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid an extra charge. Cursor also states that subscriptions are sold only directly through X Subscription Corp and that it authorizes no resellers.

The catch: the plans price models, not only seats

Cursor's developer docs split usage into two pools that reset with the billing cycle. The Cursor Models pool carries the first-party models (Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5). The Other Models pool covers third-party models at each model's API price.

The pricing page's FAQ is blunter about where each tier stops. Plus includes Grok models only. Premium and above include what the page calls generous usage of Grok models but no allowance for third-party models, which remain available in Cursor at API list price with spending caps you set yourself.

Grok API access is a separate meter again: paid plans include it, but API usage bills at standard model rates and does not draw from the plan's usage pool. When the included pool runs out you can buy top-offs at the same rates or wait for the refresh, which the pricing page's FAQ describes as weekly.

On Teams and Enterprise the docs add a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens on top of model API pricing for third-party requests, including requests where Auto routes to a third-party model. First-party Grok and Composer models are exempt from that fee.

Cursor vs Claude vs GitHub Copilot on entry price

Sticker prices are easy to line up, but the tiers do not buy the same thing. GitHub's own plans page lists Copilot Free, Copilot Pro at $10 USD per month, Copilot Pro+ at $39 USD per month, Copilot Business at $19 USD per granted seat per month and Copilot Enterprise at $39 USD per granted seat per month.

Claude's pricing page lists a $0 free tier, Pro at $17 per month with the annual discount, which bills $200 up front, or $20 billed monthly, and Max from $100 per month for people who work with Claude all day. Team seating starts at $20 per seat per month billed annually and $25 billed monthly, with premium seats at $100 and $125 respectively.

Cursor Plus at $8 undercuts both entry tiers, and that is the whole pitch of the tier: cheap access to Grok models inside the Cursor editor. It is also the most limited paid plan on the page, because the agentic features that make Cursor interesting (cloud agents, automations, Origin code hosting, Bugbot reviews) start at Premium. Claude Pro is the better buy if your work is mostly Claude models, and Copilot Pro is the cheapest option if your team already lives inside GitHub and Visual Studio Code.

Why Cursor's docs and its pricing page disagree

Cursor's Models & Pricing docs page still publishes a different lineup on the same day. It lists Start for developers in India at INR 649 per month tax inclusive, Pro at $20 per month, Pro Plus at $60 per month and Ultra at $200 per month, plus Teams seats at $40 per user per month for Standard and $120 per user per month for Premium.

The two official pages overlap only on Ultra at $200 and on the two-pool usage model. The docs page never mentions Plus, Premium or Super, and the pricing page's Teams figure starts at $30+ per user rather than the docs' $40 seat.

One caveat before you treat the mismatch as an error to exploit: Cursor has been part of SpaceX since August 14, 2026, the date of its post titled Cursor is now a part of SpaceX, which says the acquisition completed a process announced in April with SpaceXAI. The pricing page reflects that bundle, with X Premium perks such as the Premium checkmark, X Money cashback and ad-free scrolling folded into the same subscription, and with subscriptions sold by X Subscription Corp.

Practical rule: use the docs page to understand models and usage pools, and use the pricing page to understand what you will be charged. If a plan name matters because you are expensing it or matching a company policy, take a screenshot of the checkout screen, since that is the record a finance team accepts.

Which Cursor plan is worth paying for?

Cursor's own FAQ gives the shortest honest answer. Premium is recommended for new AI users, Super for daily agent users, Ultra for power users, and Plus for social creators with limited AI usage. Teams is pitched at professionals collaborating with others, and Enterprise at organizations that need invoicing, pooled usage or advanced security.

Two numbers from the page shape the upgrade decision. The step from Plus to Premium is $22 per month and multiplies included usage by four while unlocking the agentic features; if your on-demand top-offs are trending anywhere near that $22, the upgrade is simply cheaper than buying the same usage separately. The step from Premium to Super is $70 for 15x Plus usage and priority access at peak times, which only makes sense if you are running agents all day.

The pricing page shows monthly rates only, with no annual option published for individual plans, so month-to-month keeps your options open. Buy Teams only when you need the administration surface (central billing, SSO, usage analytics, team marketplace); invoice and purchase-order billing, SCIM provisioning and granular spend controls sit one tier up on Enterprise, which is quote-only.

What to check before you subscribe

1. Confirm the plan name at checkout. With the pricing page and the docs listing different tiers on the same day, the checkout screen is the number that binds you.
2. Budget for the second bill. Third-party models are never included: if your work runs on Claude, GPT-5.6 or Gemini, the subscription covers the seat and the pool, not the tokens.
3. Set spending caps. The pricing page points to configurable caps for on-demand usage, which is the only thing standing between a runaway agent loop and your card.
4. Check the cancellation window. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid an additional charge, and note that self-serve plans take card payments only; invoicing starts at Enterprise.
5. Buy direct. Cursor says subscriptions are sold only through X Subscription Corp and that reseller keys may be suspended or terminated, so a discount key is a risk, not a deal.
6. Add tax. Listed prices exclude VAT and similar charges, which matters if you are comparing against a quote that includes them.

Only Grok models are available on the $8 Plus plan, and while Premium and above include generous Grok usage, third-party models such as Claude, GPT-5.6 and Gemini bill at API list price. Grok API usage is billed separately at standard model rates and does not draw from the plan's usage pool.

Self-serve plans take major credit and debit cards, while invoice and wire-transfer billing requires the Enterprise plan.
