Yes. The Hobby plan costs nothing, needs no credit card, and includes a limited number of Agent requests plus access to Composer. It is a permanent tier rather than a trial, though the Agent allowance is small enough that daily agent use will exhaust it.

How much does Cursor Pro cost?

$20 per month, or $16 per month billed yearly. Pro adds extended Agent limits, access to frontier models, Grok Bot, MCP servers, skills, hooks, cloud agents, and Bugbot on usage-based billing.

What is the difference between Pro, Pro+ and Ultra?

The feature list is nearly identical; the difference is included usage. Pro+ at $60 a month gives three times the Pro Agent allowance. Ultra at $200 a month gives twenty times the Pro allowance, the highest Grok Bot ceiling, and priority access to new features.

Is there a Cursor free trial?

Cursor's pricing page lists Hobby as a permanent free tier rather than a time-limited trial of a paid plan. Anyone can use Cursor without paying; upgrading is what buys a larger Agent allowance rather than a different editor.

How much do you save on yearly billing?

Twenty percent on every paid tier. Pro drops from $20 to $16 a month, Pro+ from $60 to $48, Ultra from $200 to $160, Teams Standard from $40 to $32 a seat and Teams Premium from $120 to $96.

How does usage-based pricing work on top of a plan?

Every plan includes a set amount of model usage. When that is consumed, on-demand usage lets you keep going and is billed in arrears. Usage is split across two pools: Cursor Models, which covers Grok and Composer, and Other Models, which bills third-party models at their API price.

Can I buy Cursor from a reseller?

No. Cursor states that subscriptions are sold only through cursor.com, that it authorises no resellers or third-party sellers, and that accounts bought elsewhere may be suspended or terminated.

Are Cursor prices inclusive of tax?

Not for the plans sold in dollars: every individual plan displays its price before tax, which is added at checkout based on your billing location. The India-only Start plan is the exception and is quoted tax inclusive at ₹649 a month.

Do Teams plans cost more per token than individual plans?

For third-party models, yes. Teams and Enterprise seats carry a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens on top of the model's own API price, covering included usage, on-demand usage, and Auto requests routed to a third-party model. Cursor's own models, Grok and Composer, are exempt.

How much should I expect to spend in a month?

Cursor's own guidance: daily Tab users typically stay within included usage, limited agent users often do, daily agent users typically reach $60 to $100 of total monthly usage, and power users running multiple agents often exceed $200. Those bands line up closely with the Pro, Pro+ and Ultra prices.

You are buying usage, not features

Read the four cards side by side and the pattern is hard to miss. Pro, Pro+ and Ultra list almost the same bullets. All three give frontier models, MCP servers, skills, hooks, cloud agents and Bugbot. The line that changes is the first one: Pro+ says 3x Pro limits on Agent and Ultra says 20x Pro limits on Agent.

That makes the upgrade question simpler than it looks. You do not move to Ultra to unlock something. You move because you ran out. If you are not hitting the ceiling on Pro, the extra $40 or $180 a month buys headroom you will not use.

The same logic runs through Teams. Standard at $40 a seat is Individual plus the administrative layer: central billing, a private marketplace, usage analytics, team-wide privacy mode and SAML or OIDC single sign-on. Premium at $120 adds five times the Agent allowance per seat and nothing else.

The two usage pools

Included usage is not one number. Cursor splits it in two, and both reset with your monthly billing cycle.

Cursor Models covers Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5, and is the pool Cursor describes as having significantly more included usage. This is what Auto draws on when you leave the model picker alone.
Other Models covers third-party models such as Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-5.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro, charged at each model's API price. Pro, Pro+ and Ultra include this pool with the option to pay for more.

This is the single most useful thing to understand before choosing a tier. A developer who leaves the model on Auto will get much further on Pro than one who pins every request to Opus 5.5 Max, because the two are drawing from different buckets at very different rates. Both pools are visible in editor settings and on the usage dashboard.

What happens when you run out

Nothing stops, and nothing degrades. Cursor states that on-demand usage continues at the same API rates and that requests are never downgraded in quality or speed, so the failure mode is a larger invoice rather than a slower editor. The alternative is upgrading a tier for more included usage.

If predictability matters more than throughput, the usage dashboard is where you watch the burn rate, and Enterprise plans pool usage across the organisation instead of per seat.

What a month actually costs

Cursor publishes its own guidance on total monthly usage by working habit, which is more honest than a feature matrix and more useful for choosing a tier.

Typical monthly usage by user profile
Profile	Total monthly usage
Daily Tab users	Typically within included usage
Limited Agent users	Often within included usage
Daily Agent users	Typically $60 to $100 a month in total usage
Power users running multiple agents	Often $200+ a month

Read the bottom two rows against the tier prices. A daily agent user consuming $60 to $100 of usage is the person Pro+ at $60 exists for, and someone regularly past $200 is being pointed at Ultra. The tiers are priced to approximate what each habit consumes, which is why upgrading often costs less than the on-demand line it replaces.

The plan most comparisons miss

Cursor sells a region-locked tier called Start, available to developers in India at ₹649 / mo.. Tax inclusive, billed monthly in INR by UPI, credit card or debit card. Every other individual plan shows its price before tax.

It is not a cheap Pro. Start includes generous use of the Cursor Models pool, cloud agents, Cursor for iOS, and plugins, MCP servers, hooks and skills, with the Grok models running in non-fast mode. What it leaves out is substantial: the Other Models pool, on-demand usage, Auto, Bugbot, Automations and the Cursor SDK. Anyone who needs a frontier model from a third party needs Pro.

Max Mode is a legacy feature

Searches for Max Mode still turn up plenty of advice about when to switch it on. It extends a model's context window past its default limit and bills at the model's API rate plus 20 percent, and Cursor now documents it as available only on legacy request-based plans. If you signed up recently, it is not a lever you have.

Picking a tier

Evaluating Cursor at all. Hobby. No card, and the editor is the same editor.
Using an agent most days. Pro. Cursor's own guidance points daily agent users at Pro+, but Pro is the cheaper place to find out whether you hit the ceiling.
Agents running most of the working day. Pro+, then Ultra if the on-demand line on your invoice exceeds the difference.
More than a couple of people. Teams, for the SSO and central billing as much as the agent allowance.
Procurement, invoicing or access controls involved. Enterprise, which is the only tier with SCIM, audit logs and repository or model access controls.
