Cursor pricing: the plans and what a team pays
On 12 November 2026 Cursor's pricing page lists five individual plans: Free at $0, Plus at $8, Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200 a month, before tax. Team seats cost $30, $100 or $200 per person a month, so five people on the cheapest seat pay 150 dollars a month. Cursor is sold as part of The X Subscription, and third-party models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini are not in the price: they are billed on top, by usage.

The plans side by side
These are the prices on cursor.com/pricing and in Cursor's Models & Pricing documentation, both read on 12 November 2026. The pricing page shows monthly prices only; the yearly prices come from the documentation. Each yearly price is ten times the monthly one, so yearly billing gives twelve months for the price of ten. All prices exclude tax.
Cursor is sold as part of The X Subscription, one subscription for Grok, Cursor and X.
| Plan | Per month | Billed yearly | Included usage | Third-party models |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | - | Limited | Not available |
| Plus | $8 | $80 | Base pool, Cursor's own models only | Not available |
| Premium | $30 | $300 | 4x Plus | API list price, billed on top |
| Super | $100 | $1,000 | 15x Plus | API list price, billed on top |
| Ultra | $200 | $2,000 | 50x Plus | API list price, billed on top |
| Teams | $30, $100 or $200 per seat | Not stated | Matches the seat's tier | API list price plus Cursor Token Rate |
| Enterprise | Custom | Not stated | Pooled | API list price plus Cursor Token Rate |
Individual plans and team plans
Teams are priced per seat. Each member gets a Premium, Super or Ultra seat at the same price and with the same weekly usage as the matching individual plan, and one team can mix seat tiers. Plus is not available for teams.
A team seat adds centralized billing, usage analytics, team-wide privacy settings and SAML/OIDC single sign-on. Enterprise has a custom price and adds pooled usage, invoice billing, SCIM and priority support.
One cost only teams pay: on Teams and Enterprise, eligible third-party model requests carry a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens on top of the model's API price. Individual plans do not pay it, and it does not apply to Cursor's own models.
What a team of 5 and of 10 pays
This is our arithmetic from the per-seat prices, in US dollars before tax, with every member on the same tier. The year is twelve monthly payments, because the documentation does not say whether team seats can be billed yearly. Third-party model usage and top-ups come on top.
| Seat tier | 5 people, month | 5 people, year | 10 people, month | 10 people, year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | 150 (5 × 30) | 1,800 (150 × 12) | 300 (10 × 30) | 3,600 (300 × 12) |
| Super | 500 (5 × 100) | 6,000 (500 × 12) | 1,000 (10 × 100) | 12,000 (1,000 × 12) |
| Ultra | 1,000 (5 × 200) | 12,000 (1,000 × 12) | 2,000 (10 × 200) | 24,000 (2,000 × 12) |
When you use more than the plan includes
Each paid plan includes one pool of usage for Cursor's own models (the Grok models and Composer). The pool is shared with the Grok apps and refreshes weekly.
When it runs out, the documentation gives three options: wait for the reset, keep working on prepaid credit at the per-model rates, or move to a higher tier. It says requests are never downgraded in quality or speed.
Prepaid credit comes from top-ups, bought by hand or by Auto Top-up. A monthly additional usage limit caps the paid extra usage.
Third-party models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini are never in the pool. On Premium and above they are billed at the model's API list price from the first request, from the same prepaid credit.
What the pages do not tell you
- How big the pool is. Usage is given only relative to Plus ("4x", "15x", "50x"). Neither page states the Plus pool in dollars, tokens or requests, so you cannot tell in advance how much agent work a plan covers.
- Whether team seats can be billed yearly, and at what price.
- The minimum top-up, and whether unused prepaid credit expires.
- Any student or startup discount, or a free trial of a paid plan. Neither page mentions one.
- The pages differ slightly: the pricing page lists third-party models "at API list price" for Teams, while the documentation adds the Cursor Token Rate.
Keeping track of what agent work costs per task
Cursor's invoice shows what the team spent, not which piece of work it was spent on. To bill clients or see what a feature cost, you need the cost next to the task.
Hourtick does that part. It connects to Cursor over MCP, and an agent working on a task reports its time and cost to that task, beside the hours people logged. Hourtick does not sell Cursor and does not read your Cursor bill; it records what the agent reports. The setup is in our Cursor guide, linked below.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Cursor plan?
Yes. The pricing page lists Free at $0 a month with limited agent and chat requests. Third-party models are not available on it.
Does Cursor Premium include Claude and GPT models?
No. They are not part of the included pool. On Premium and above you can use them at the model's API list price, paid from prepaid credit. Plus and Free cannot use them.
Is there a student discount on Cursor?
Neither page mentioned a student or education discount when we read them on 12 November 2026.
What about the older Pro, Pro+ and Teams plans?
The documentation calls them legacy Cursor plans. They continue for existing customers, with two monthly usage pools and on-demand usage instead of top-ups.
