Cursor’s lineup spans a free Hobby tier, India’s Start plan at ₹649/month tax inclusive, then Pro at $20, Pro+ at $60, and Ultra at $200 per month before tax. Start includes only Cursor Models—Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, Composer 2.5—without Fast mode or effort changes. Pro and above include Cursor Models and Other Models, unlimited Tab, extended agent limits, Bugbot, and Cloud Agents. A student discount exists separately; verify it on Cursor’s site. Recheck pricing docs because numbers move.
Side-by-side cost snapshot
Hobby: free exploration tier—confirm current limits on the site. Start (India): ₹649/month tax inclusive for Cursor Models only. Pro: $20/mo. Pro+: $60/mo. Ultra: $200/mo. USD figures are before tax.
Jump tiers when you need Other Models, Fast mode, flexible Grok effort, or more agent headroom—not because a blog said Ultra is “best.” Put Hobby, Start, Pro, Pro+, and Ultra in one spreadsheet with tax assumptions for India before you pick a default seat. Separate model-pool needs from vanity upgrades; Pro+ and Ultra are capacity plays after Pro already unlocks Other Models.
Feature gates that matter
- Other Models pool: Pro and above.
- Unlimited Tab, extended agents, Bugbot, Cloud Agents: paid plans as listed.
- Teams: $0.25/MTok Cursor Token Rate on third-party models.

Picking without overbuying
Solo India developers often start on Hobby or Start. Move to Pro when Claude or GPT inside Cursor is required. Consider Pro+ or Ultra only after Pro limits block real work. Finance teams should model the Token Rate for third-party usage on Teams. Revisit the matrix after Cursor publishes plan changes rather than locking an annual commitment on a blog screenshot.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is Pro+ always better than Pro?
Pro+ costs more ($60 vs $20 before tax) and is aimed at heavier usage. Choose it when Prou2019s limits throttle you, not by default. Check the live matrix for exact allotments. Update the comparison sheet whenever Cursor edits the public pricing documentation.
-
Does Ultra include everything?
Ultra at $200/mo before tax sits at the top of the individual paid lineup with both model pools and paid extras. Still recheck docs for current caps; marketing pages change. Update the comparison sheet whenever Cursor edits the public pricing documentation.
-
Where does Teams pricing fit?
Teams add organization features and, for third-party models, a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens atop API prices. Cursoru2019s own models are exempt from that rate. Update the comparison sheet whenever Cursor edits the public pricing documentation. Verify the live Cursor account meter before you promise capacity.
-
Should I wait for a sale?
Plan around published list prices. Student discounts and regional Start pricing are the main official reductions. Verify any promotion on Cursoru2019s site. Update the comparison sheet whenever Cursor edits the public pricing documentation. Verify the live Cursor account meter before you promise capacity.
