Cursor AI Pricing 2026: Plus $8, Premium $30, or Super $100?
Key takeaways
- Cursor’s public menu is The X Subscription. Plus is $8/month and does not include Grok Bot.
- Premium is $30/month, or $300/year, and includes Grok Bot. Super at $100/month is the daily-Agent seat. Ultra is $200/month.
- Usage is one weekly pool shared across Cursor and Grok. Third-party models bill at API list price from the first use.
- Wrong fit: Tab in the IDE you keep (Copilot), a terminal agent on Claude (Claude Code), an open BYOK agent, or a vibe builder.
How much does Cursor AI cost? Cursor Free is $0, with limited Agent and Chat. Plus lists $8/month, or $80/year, and does not include Grok Bot. Premium lists $30/month, or $300/year, and does. Super is $100/month for daily Agent. That menu is the AI-native editor—not Claude Code on a Claude plan, and not Copilot on GitHub.
| When this plan | Skip this plan |
|---|---|
| Free ($0: limited Agent and Chat) | Free Agent already stalls mid-week |
| Plus ($8/mo or $80/yr; no Grok Bot) | You need Grok Bot, or Agent is more than an introduction |
| Premium ($30/mo) or Super ($100/mo) | Tab in the IDE you keep is the job (Copilot Pro $10/user/mo) |

As of October 2026, the pricing page lists Free, Plus, Premium, Super, Ultra, Teams, then Enterprise. You pay for the desktop IDE—Tab, Composer, Agent, Cloud Agents—and for a shared weekly usage pool. Figures below match Cursor’s pricing page. An existing Cursor or SuperGrok plan continues if you do not switch. Those older cards are not this menu.

Plus is the introductory paid seat. New AI users are pointed at Premium. Daily Agent is pointed at Super. Free still stops when the limited Agent allotment runs out. After the weekly pool, you buy a top-up or wait for the reset.
What Premium actually buys
You install a VS Code–based editor and work in folders all day. Tab completes as you type. Composer and Agent handle multi-file edits. Cloud Agents start at Premium and keep going when the laptop is closed.
The included pool is shared across Cursor and Grok, and it refreshes weekly. Inside Grok it covers Chat, Imagine, Voice, and Bot once you are on Premium or above. Plus is Grok models only. Third-party models in Cursor are not in that pool. They bill at API list price from the first use. You can set a spending cap.
Picking a Claude model inside Cursor still bills Cursor at that API price. Running Claude Code on a paid Claude plan is a separate product—see Claude Code pricing and Cursor vs Claude Code.
Current offers also sit on the Cursor brand page. Grok Bot’s seat is on the Grok Bot overview.
Who it’s for
You want one AI-native editor for Tab, Composer, Agent, and Cloud Agents. Free is enough to try. Plus at $8/month is the introductory seat, and it has no Grok Bot. Premium at $30/month is the new-AI-user seat. Super at $100/month is the daily-Agent seat.
If you’re already paying Cursor and shopping other tools, use Cursor alternatives. If the question is IDE versus a Copilot, use Cursor vs Copilot.
Wrong fits
Completions and issue-to-PR in the IDE you already keep, billed on GitHub. That is GitHub Copilot—Pro $10/user/month after Free’s 2,000 completions.
A long terminal agent on Anthropic’s shared chat and Code pool. That is Claude Code on a paid Claude plan (Pro $20/month). Cursor Plus at $8 and Premium at $30 are not that bill—see Claude Code pricing.
An open client with your own model keys and no required Cursor plan. Start with Open source AI coding agent.
Prompt → app in the browser on credits or tokens. That shortlist is Best vibe coding tools.
A Google command center for parallel local agents, when the editor is not the product. See Antigravity vs Cursor.
Getting started without overbuying
- Start on Free if limited Agent and Chat cover a real week.
- Open one repo. Use Tab. Run one Composer edit.
- Move to Plus at $8/month when you want a paid pool and you do not need Grok Bot.
- Move to Premium at $30/month when you want Grok Bot or the 4x pool. Move to Super at $100/month when Agent is every day.
- Buy Teams only when admin, shared billing, or a team seat is why you pay. Seats start at $30/user/month.
How I checked this
This page covers Cursor AI pricing: Free, Plus, Premium, Super, Ultra, and Teams. Comparison and alternatives pages live elsewhere. I used Cursor’s pricing page and the X Subscription price table on 22 Oct 2026. I pick by whether you need the AI-native editor, then by whether Plus, Premium, or Super is the seat that matches the week.
