What is Cursor?
Cursor is a code editor for Windows, macOS and Linux with built-in AI features: Agent, Chat and Tab completions. It also has a command-line agent and cloud agents.
Who it's for
Individual developers on the Free, Plus, Premium, Super or Ultra plans. Teams and Enterprise plans add shared billing, admin controls and SSO for organizations.
Pros & cons
Strengths
- A Free plan includes Agent, Chat and Tab completions with Cursor's own models, with limited usage
- Paid plans have one weekly usage pool for Cursor models, shared across Agent, the command line and Cloud Agents, and the docs say it refreshes weekly
- With Privacy Mode on, Cursor says customer data will not be used for training by Cursor, and that it has zero-data-retention agreements with all its model providers
- The desktop app is offered for macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel, Universal), Windows (x64, ARM64) and Linux (x64, ARM64; .deb, RPM, AppImage)
- Teams and Enterprise list SAML and OIDC SSO, usage analytics and team-wide privacy settings, and Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs and invoice billing
Limitations
- Free usage is limited for Agent, Chat and Tab, and no numeric limits are published
- Plus ($8) does not include Auto, Cloud Agents, Automations, Bugbot or third-party models, which are listed from Premium ($30) up
- Third-party models are not covered by the weekly pool. They are billed at API list price from prepaid credit, and a monthly additional-usage limit caps extra spend
- Included usage does not roll over, and prepaid top-ups last until used or until they expire, currently 365 days after purchase
- With Privacy Mode off, Cursor may use and store codebase data, prompts, editor actions and code snippets to improve its AI features and train models
- The Balance and Intelligence Auto modes are only for Teams and Enterprise with Cursor Router on, and individual plans get Cost mode only
Plans and pricing

Prices are from Cursor's help center, docs and the English pricing page; cursor.com/pricing itself could not be read. The pages differ: the help center lists annual prices and the pricing page says annual prices are not listed, and Teams appears as three seat prices in one place and $30+ in another. The pricing page and help center also word the plans differently (one refers to an X subscription and Grok), so confirm the plans and prices on the live page before buying.
