Cursor pricing: plans, limits and whether it is worth it

What changed, and why older price lists are wrong

Cursor's pricing page no longer shows the plan names most comparison sites still quote. The individual plans listed today are Free, Plus, Premium, Super and Ultra, and the paid plans bundle Grok and X features alongside Cursor itself. If a page you are reading lists different plan names, it predates this change.

The detail that decides your real cost

Two lines on the vendor page matter more than the headline prices:

• Plus runs Grok models only. The page states that only Grok models are available on that plan.
• Third-party models cost extra from Premium up. The page states that third-party models are available in Cursor and are billed separately by usage, at API list price. The monthly price does not include them.

So the monthly fee buys a usage pool for the bundled models. If you plan to code with models from other vendors, your bill is the plan price plus metered usage. Cursor's page does not publish a fixed request count for any plan. It expresses usage as a multiple of the Plus pool.

Is it worth it?

We have not tested the current plans, so we will not answer that with a verdict. What the published terms support:

• If you are happy with the bundled models, the plan price is the whole cost and the multiples in the table tell you how the tiers scale.
• If you want other vendors' models, compare the plan price plus expected API usage against paying those vendors directly.
• Teams is priced per user with a starting price, and usage is pooled.

Prices exclude tax, and Cursor says you must cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next charge.
