💳 Pricing
The USD figures below are monthly subscription rates; annual billing is a separate offer and should be checked in the selected pricing view. Taxes are additional.
- Hobby —
Free; limited Agent requests, limited Tab completions, and no credit card required. - Pro —
$20/month; extended Agent limits, frontier models, MCPs, skills, hooks, cloud agents, and usage-based Bugbot. - Pro+ —
$60/month; everything in Pro with 3× Pro Agent limits. - Ultra —
$200/month; everything in Pro with 20× Pro Agent limits and priority access to new features. - Teams Standard —
$40/user/month; centralized billing and administration, team marketplace, cloud agents and automations, analytics, team-wide Privacy Mode, SAML/OIDC SSO, and code review with Bugbot. - Teams Premium —
$120/user/month; Teams Standard with 5× Standard Agent limits and higher included usage. - Enterprise — Custom pricing; pooled usage, invoicing, SCIM, access controls, audit logs, AI code tracking, priority support, and account management.
Pro, Pro+ and Ultra have separate Cursor Models and Other Models usage pools, resetting each monthly billing cycle. Third-party models draw down the latter at model API rates, so model choice affects capacity. Optional on-demand usage continues after included usage and is charged in arrears. Teams/Enterprise also add US$0.25 per million tokens for third-party model requests, including BYOK; first-party Cursor models are exempt. These limits and fees do not imply unlimited model usage.
