Cursor pricing (last checked November 1, 2026)
Cursor now has seven plans: Free ($0), Plus ($8 a month), Premium ($30 a month), Super ($100 a month), Ultra ($200 a month), Teams (from $30 per user per month) and Enterprise (custom pricing). Plus runs Grok models only. Claude, GPT and other third-party models are available from Premium up, billed separately at API list price. The old $20 Pro plan is closed to new customers, but people who already have it can keep it.
| Plan | Monthly price | Usage vs Plus | Models |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited | Limited agent requests, no third-party models |
| Plus | $8 | Basic (1x) | Grok models only |
| Premium | $30 | 4x | Latest Grok models, third-party models at API list price |
| Super | $100 | 15x | Same as Premium, plus priority model access at peak times |
| Ultra | $200 | 50x | Same as Super, plus earliest access to new products and models |
| Teams | From $30 per user | 4x to 50x | Same as the matching seat tier |
| Enterprise | Custom | Pooled | All of the above, plus admin and security controls |
Prices exclude taxes such as VAT. Every plan draws on one usage pool shared between Cursor and Grok. It refreshes weekly, and if you run out you can buy top-offs or wait for the refresh.
What happened to Cursor Pro?
Since October 12, 2026, new sign-ups get the new plans, according to AI Coding Weekly. Pro ($20) and Pro+ ($60) no longer appear on the pricing page and can’t be bought by new customers. Cursor’s own help page says existing subscribers keep their legacy plan, price and features unless they change or cancel, and they can still move between legacy plans, for example from Pro to Pro+.
Switching to the new plans is optional, but it is permanent. Cursor’s docs list what changes: your usage moves from two monthly pools to one weekly pool shared with Grok, and third-party models stop being included in the plan. Cursor lists Premium as the closest match to legacy Pro.
AI Coding Weekly also reports that Teams dropped from $40 to $30 per seat on October 19.
Can you use Claude or GPT on Plus?
No. The $8 Plus plan is limited to Grok models. To use Claude, GPT or other third-party models in Cursor you need Premium or higher, and even then that usage isn’t covered by the monthly price. It is billed by usage at API list price, and you can set spending caps.
Which plan should you pick?
Cursor’s own recommendation is Premium for new AI users, Super for daily agent users and Ultra for power users. A practical way to read that:
- If you mostly use Grok models and code a few times a week, Plus is the cheapest way in.
- If you want Claude or GPT, cloud agents or Bugbot code reviews, start at Premium. Budget for third-party model usage on top of the $30.
- If you hit your weekly limit often, Super gives 15x the Plus usage and priority access at peak times.
- If you are still on legacy Pro and rely on its included third-party model usage, compare carefully before switching, because you can’t go back.

Rules & context
- New
Cursor* ignoring your rules? Here's why (it's probably the .cursorrules migration)
Wrote a Cursor rule and it's just... not applying? Here's how Cursor's rules system actually resolves precedence, and the four most common ways a rule silently fails to load.

Cursor's agent doesn't know about a file that's clearly in your repo? Here's why
You @-mention a file or ask Cursor about code that's right there in the explorer, and the agent acts like it doesn't exist — or worse, invents a plausible-sounding wrong answer. Here's why the index sees less of your repo than you do, and the one move that always works.
