Plans & usage

Paid plans: $8/month Plus, before tax; includes Cursor models only. Third-party models require Premium ($30/month) or above and separate usage payment. [1]
Free access: Yes. Limited Agent and Chat usage; third-party models are unavailable on Free. [2]
Model access: Grok and Composer; paid third-party access includes Claude, GPT, Gemini and Muse. Access depends on plan and admin settings. [2]
Included usage & limits: Current plans share a weekly Cursor-model pool across Cursor and Grok. Third-party models are outside that pool. Legacy Pro/Pro+ plans retain different monthly allowances. [2]
Extra usage & spending controls: Prepaid top-ups or optional auto top-up; monthly additional-usage cap. Third-party models are charged from their first request. [2]

Your workflow

Where it works: Desktop for macOS, Windows and Linux; terminal CLI; browser-based cloud agents. [5]
Code & repositories: Searches repositories, reads and edits files, runs terminal commands, and creates local recovery checkpoints. [4]
Web research: Agent can search the web and operate a browser. [4]
Publishing & hosting: Code hosting through Origin and AI code review through Bugbot on Premium+. Production hosting is not verified. [1]
Export & portability: Agent edits project files directly; checkpoints are local and separate from Git. [4]
Bring your own key: Premium+ individual and legacy paid plans support provider keys; provider bills model cost. Some team requests also incur a Cursor Token Rate. [3]

Data & team controls

Use of your data for training: Privacy Mode is available to all users; Cursor says it will not train on your data when enabled. BYOK follows the provider's data policy. [6] [3]
Team controls: Teams offers centralized billing, shared controls and tiered seats; Enterprise adds pooled usage and advanced administration. [1]

Before you choose

The lowest paid price does not include third-party model use.
Old Pro/Pro+ pricing articles describe legacy plans rather than the current subscription lineup.
BYOK only supports chat models; Tab retains Cursor's built-in models.
BYOK does not receive Cursor's Zero Data Retention policy.
Capabilities are documented vendor features, not results of hands-on comparative testing.

Model access is not a guarantee of identical features or limits to the model provider’s own app. Confirm your plan and checkout price.
