Cursor Pricing: What the Plans Actually Give You
Originally published on DevToolHub.
Cursor's pricing page lists four plans, but only the price is a real number. Pro is \(20 for "extended limits." Pro+ is \)60 for "3x Pro limits." Ultra is $200 for "20x Pro limits." Pro's own baseline is never published.
What each plan gives you
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Hobby | Free | Limited Agent requests, Composer access |
| Pro | $20/mo | Extended Agent limits, frontier models, cloud agents |
| Pro+ | $60/mo | 3x Pro's Agent limit |
| Ultra | $200/mo | 20x Pro's Agent limit |
| Teams | $40–$120/seat | Pooled usage |
The multiplier pricing has a real pattern
Compare by cost-per-unit: Pro+ is 3x the price for 3x the usage — same rate. Ultra is the only tier that changes the economics, working out to half the per-unit cost of Pro or Pro+.
Cursor Router changed what "Auto" bills
July 22, 2026: Cursor Router replaced Auto mode's fixed heuristics with per-request model classification (Intelligence / Balance / Cost modes). Auto Balance can now route to a genuinely expensive model and bill full rate — with no warning. A forum user summed it up: "Auto... used to mean cheap flat rate... this no longer holds."
What happens at your limit
Two usage pools (Cursor Models, Other Models), resets monthly, no rollover. Hit the limit and you choose: on-demand pay-as-you-go, or upgrade. One widely shared case burned a $7,000 annual subscription in a single day.
Teams and legacy pricing
Teams/Enterprise with their own key: $0.25 per million tokens. Legacy Max Mode: API rate + 20%. Neither is on the main pricing page.
