Pricing
Cursor uses a Freemium model based on AI request usage and model access.
- Basic (Free) Tier: Offers limited usage of slower AI models (like GPT-3.5 and some slower GPT-4 requests) per month, suitable for trying out the core features.
- Pro Tier: Provides a significant number of monthly fast requests for advanced models (GPT-4, Claude 3, etc.), codebase indexing, and priority support, available via monthly or annual subscription.
- Business Tier: Designed for teams, offering higher request limits per user, enhanced security features (like SAML SSO), centralized administration, and custom enterprise options, typically billed annually per user.
Specific request limits, model access, and features vary between plans. For the most current details, please visit the official Cursor pricing page .
