Cursor Pricing: The Short Answer
Since October 12, 2026, new Cursor customers buy Cursor as part of The X Subscription, one plan that also covers Grok and X. The plans are Free ($0), Plus ($8 a month), Premium ($30), Super ($100) and Ultra ($200). Teams seats cost $30, $100 or $200 a month, matching the individual tiers, and Enterprise is custom. If you already had Cursor Pro, Pro+ or Ultra before the change, you keep that legacy plan and price unless you switch.
Quick answer: How much does Cursor cost? Free is $0. Plus is $8 a month, Premium $30, Super $100 and Ultra $200, or $80, $300, $1,000 and $2,000 a year. The old Cursor Pro at $20 is no longer sold to new customers. Prices are from Cursor's pricing and help pages, checked November 10, 2026.
Cursor Plans Compared
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Usage | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | n/a | Limited | Agent and Chat with limited usage |
| Plus | $8 | $80 | Base | Cursor's own models at fixed settings, Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, Grok API access |
| Premium | $30 | $300 | 4x Plus | Cloud agents and automations, Bugbot code review, Origin code hosting, third-party models at API list price, Grok Bot |
| Super | $100 | $1,000 | 15x Plus | Priority model access at peak times |
| Ultra | $200 | $2,000 | 50x Plus | Earliest access to new products and models |
| Teams | $30, $100 or $200 a seat | n/a | Matches the seat's tier | SSO, admin controls, centralized billing, usage analytics |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Pooled | SCIM, audit logs, invoice billing, spend controls |
Prices exclude tax. Cursor recommends Premium for new agent users, Super for daily agent users and Ultra for power users.
What Plus Does Not Include
Plus is cheap, but it is limited for coding. Cursor's docs say Plus runs Cursor's own models (Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5) with Fast mode off and medium effort, and leaves out Auto, Cloud Agents, Automations, Bugbot, Origin, third-party models and your own API keys. If you want Claude or GPT models inside Cursor, you need Premium or higher.
How Cursor Usage Works Now
- Every paid plan includes a weekly usage pool for Cursor models, shared across Cursor and the Grok apps.
- The pool refreshes weekly, so one heavy day does not use up the month.
- Different models draw from the pool at different rates. Cursor shows the remaining balance in the editor settings and at grok.com/dashboard.
- Third-party models such as Claude or GPT are not in the pool. On Premium and above you pay for them at API list price from prepaid credit.
- Grok API usage is billed separately at standard model rates.
What Happened to Cursor Pro?
Cursor's older plans are now called legacy plans. They are not sold to new customers, but existing subscribers keep them.
| Legacy plan | Price | Closest X Subscription plan |
|---|---|---|
| Hobby | Free | Free |
| Pro | $20 a month | Premium |
| Pro+ | $60 a month | Super |
| Ultra | $200 a month | Ultra |
| Teams Standard | $40 a user a month | Teams, Premium seat |
| Teams Premium | $120 a user a month | Teams, Super seat |
Switching to The X Subscription is optional. Cursor's help center says the switch cancels your Cursor subscription with a prorated refund, and it cannot be undone. xAI says each new tier includes at least twice the coding usage with its own models compared with the Cursor plan it replaces.
Is Cursor Worth It?
Cursor suits developers who work in a codebase every day and want an AI editor with local and cloud agents. Premium at $30 is the sensible starting point, because it unlocks cloud agents, code review and third-party models. Plus at $8 is mainly for people who want Grok and X benefits with light coding. If you hit Premium's weekly pool often, compare the cost of Super with paying API list price for third-party models.
Cursor Alternatives by Price
| Tool | Starting paid price | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor | $8 a month (Plus), $30 for full agent features | AI code editor with cloud agents |
| Windsurf (Devin Desktop) | $20 a month | AI code editor from Cognition |
| Claude Code | $20 a month (Claude Pro) | Terminal and IDE coding agent |
| OpenAI Codex | $8 a month (ChatGPT Go) | Coding agent inside ChatGPT |
| Superapp | See superapp.dev | Native Apple apps, websites and web apps without code |
See our guides to Windsurf pricing, Claude Code pricing and Codex pricing. Cursor is a tool for people who read and edit code. If you want a finished iPhone app rather than a repository, an app builder may fit better. As a disclosure, Superapp is our product, so weigh this accordingly. Superapp turns a plain-English description into a native Swift app for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Mac, or a website or web app, and prepares the App Store submission. It does not build Android apps.
