Cursor’s free path centers on Hobby; student discounts exist too—confirm any time-boxed Pro trial on Cursor’s site before you rely on it.
Solo devs should install Cursor, add tight rules, live on Tab plus scoped Agent, and pick Hobby, Start ₹649, or Pro from real usage.
Cursor is an AI IDE; Claude is a model family you may use inside Cursor on Other Models—or via Claude-centric tools separately.
Cursor Start in India includes only Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, and Composer 2.5—no Other Models, no Fast mode, no effort changes.
Composer 2.5 helps with multi-file drafting inside Cursor’s model pool—available on Start, with broader models on Pro and above.
Cloud Agents are part of Cursor’s paid-plan capabilities with extended agent limits—confirm availability on Pro and above.
Use the Cursor CLI to authenticate and drive agent-oriented workflows from the terminal under the same plan limits as the IDE.
Cursor lists Hobby, India Start ₹649, and Pro from $20; Copilot pricing follows GitHub plans—compare seats and included models.
Cursor has a free Hobby tier and a student discount, but Start and Pro are paid—verify current free limits on Cursor’s site.
Teams pay a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens on third-party models atop API price; Cursor’s own models are exempt.
