Cursor Pricing 2026: Plans, Model Prices and Is It Free?

Cursor is an AI code editor built on VS Code, priced as a subscription that includes model usage. Searches for its pricing usually ask three things: whether it is free, what Pro includes, and what the models cost. This page answers all three from Cursor's pricing page and documentation. For Cursor against GitHub Copilot and Windsurf (now Devin Desktop), see Cursor vs Copilot vs Windsurf pricing.

1. Cursor plans and prices

Plan	Price	Highlights
Hobby	Free[1]	No credit card, limited Agent requests, access to Composer
Pro	$20/mo[1]	Extended Agent limits, frontier models, cloud agents, MCPs, skills and hooks, Bugbot on usage-based billing
Pro+	$60/mo[2]	Everything in Pro with more included usage; Cursor recommends it for daily agent users
Ultra	$200/mo[2]	Most included usage; recommended for agent power users
Teams	$40/user/mo (Premium seat $120)[2]	Central billing, team rules and plugins, privacy mode enforcement, SAML/OIDC SSO
Enterprise	Custom[1]	Pooled usage, invoicing, SCIM, model and MCP access controls, audit logs

In India, Cursor also sells a Start plan at ₹649 a month including tax, which covers Cursor's own models but not third-party models or on-demand usage^[2].

2. Is Cursor free?

Yes, with limits. The Hobby plan needs no credit card and gives limited Agent requests plus access to Composer^[1]. It is enough to try the editor and use completions on small projects; regular agent use needs Pro or higher.

3. How usage is metered

• Cursor Models pool: Cursor's own models, Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5, with significantly more included usage^[2].
• Other Models pool: third-party models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini, charged at each model's API price^[2].
• On-demand usage: after the included amount, usage continues at the same rates, billed monthly; requests are not downgraded^[2].
• Surcharges: opting in to regional data residency adds 10% to eligible model prices; Max Mode on legacy request-based plans bills at API price plus 20%^[2].

Cursor's own guidance: daily Tab users and limited agent users usually stay within included usage, daily agent users typically spend $60 to $100 a month in total, and power users running several agents often spend $200 or more^[2]. That maps roughly onto Pro, Pro+ and Ultra.

4. Model prices and workload cost

Per-million-token prices from Cursor's documentation, and the cost of an illustrative month of 10 million input and 1 million output tokens with no caching, computed from those prices^[2]. The last column adds the $0.25 per million Cursor Token Rate that applies to third-party models on Teams and Enterprise:

Model	Pool	Input / output per 1M	10M in + 1M out	Same on Teams
GPT-5.6 Luna	Other models	$0.20 / $1.20	$3.20	$5.95
Composer 2.5	Cursor models	$0.50 / $2.50	$7.50	$7.50
Gemini 3.8 Flash	Other models	$0.75 / $3.50	$11.00	$13.75
Grok 4.7	Cursor models	$2.00 / $6.00	$26.00	$26.00
Claude Sonnet 5.5	Other models	$2.00 / $10.00	$30.00	$32.75
GPT-5.6 Terra	Other models	$2.00 / $12.00	$32.00	$34.75
Claude Opus 5.5	Other models	$4.00 / $20.00	$60.00	$62.75
Claude Fable 5.1	Other models	$10.00 / $50.00	$150.00	$152.75

Model choice moves the bill by more than an order of magnitude: the same workload costs $7.50 on Composer 2.5 and $150.00 on Claude Fable 5.1. Cached input is billed at lower cache-read rates (for example $0.10 per million on Claude Sonnet 5.5), so long agent sessions that reuse context cost less than this table shows^[2].

5. Teams and Enterprise

Teams offers two seat types: Standard at $40 per user a month and Premium at $120 with five times the Standard agent limits^[2]. Third-party model requests on Teams and Enterprise carry the $0.25 per million Cursor Token Rate on top of model prices, including bring-your-own-key usage; Cursor's own models are exempt. Enterprise adds pooled usage across the organization, invoice billing and SCIM, priced on request^[1].

6. Which plan fits?

• Trying Cursor or mostly using completions: Hobby, free.
• Occasional agent use: Pro at $20.
• Daily agent use: Pro+ at $60, matching Cursor's $60 to $100 guidance.
• Several agents in parallel all day: Ultra at $200.
• A team: Teams at $40 per Standard seat; give Premium seats only to heavy agent users.

Default to Cursor's own models for routine work and switch to frontier models for hard problems; that is the biggest lever on the bill. Add the editor to your tooling budget with the AI stack cost calculator.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cursor free?

Yes. Cursor's Hobby plan is free with no credit card, and includes limited Agent requests and access to Cursor's Composer model.

Verified on cursor.com on 2026-10-11.

How much is Cursor Pro?

Cursor Pro costs $20 a month. Pro+ costs $60 and Ultra $200, each with more included usage. All three include unlimited Tab completions, extended agent limits on all models, Bugbot and cloud agents. When the included usage runs out you can add on-demand usage at the same model rates or move up a plan.

How does Cursor model pricing work?

Usage comes from two pools that reset monthly. The Cursor Models pool covers Cursor's own models, such as Composer 2.5 and Grok 4.7, with significantly more included usage. The Other Models pool covers third-party models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini, charged at each model's API price per million tokens; for example Claude Sonnet 5.5 is $2 input and $10 output.

How much do Cursor Teams cost?

Teams costs $40 per user a month for a Standard seat and $120 for a Premium seat with five times the Standard agent limits. On Teams and Enterprise, third-party model requests also carry a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens; Cursor's own models are exempt. Enterprise is priced on request.
