Cursor Start in India is ₹649 per month, tax inclusive, and it covers only the Cursor Models pool: Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, and Composer 2.5 in non-fast mode with Grok effort fixed at medium. You cannot change effort or enable Fast on Start. It does not include Other Models such as Claude or GPT. Pro, Pro+, and Ultra are priced in USD before tax and unlock both pools plus higher agent limits. Prices change, so recheck Cursor’s pricing page before you subscribe.
What ₹649 covers on Start
The India Start plan is billed at ₹649 per month with tax included. Access is limited to the Cursor Models pool: Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, and Composer 2.5. Requests run in non-fast mode, and Grok effort is locked to medium. That keeps cost predictable for day-to-day editing and agent work on Cursor’s own models, without opening the Other Models pool.
If your workflow depends on Claude, GPT, or other third-party models inside Cursor, Start will not meet that need. You will need Pro ($20/mo), Pro+ ($60/mo), or Ultra ($200/mo) before tax, which include both Cursor Models and Other Models.
Hard limits you should know
- No Other Models pool (Claude, GPT, and similar).
- No Fast mode and no Grok effort changes.
- Cursor Models only: Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, Composer 2.5.
Paid USD plans also advertise unlimited Tab completions, extended agent limits, Bugbot, and Cloud Agents. Start is the India entry tier for Cursor’s own models; treat those Pro-tier features as plan-gated and verify on the current pricing page. If your account ever shows Fast toggles on Start, treat that as a UI mismatch and trust the published Start limits instead.
When Start is enough vs upgrade
Choose Start if you code in India, mainly need Grok or Composer 2.5, and can live without Claude or GPT inside Cursor. Upgrade when you need Other Models, Fast mode, flexible Grok effort, or the broader paid-plan agent and Cloud Agents limits. Recheck https://cursor.com/docs/models-and-pricing before paying; list prices move. For agency quotes, write the plan name and model pool into the SOW so clients do not expect Claude on a Start seat. Keep Start for Grok and Composer 2.5 work, and only budget USD Pro when Other Models become mandatory for a client stack.
