Cursor Pricing in 2026: Every Plan, and What You Actually Spend
Cursor's new plans: Free, Plus at $8 a month (Grok and Composer models only), Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200. Teams seats start at $30. Every paid plan gets one weekly pool of AI usage, shared with Grok; past it you top up with prepaid credit or wait for the weekly reset. Pro, Pro+ and the older Teams seats are now legacy plans and keep their old terms.

| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited Agent and Chat requests |
| Plus | $8 / month | The weekly pool shared with Grok; Grok models only |
| Premium | $30 / month | 4x the usage of Plus; third-party models (Claude, GPT and others) at API list price from prepaid credit |
| Super | $100 / month | 15x the usage of Plus; priority model access at peak times |
| Ultra | $200 / month | 50x the usage of Plus; earliest access to new products and models |
| Teams | $30, $100 or $200 / seat / month | Each seat gets the weekly usage of Premium, Super or Ultra (tiers can be mixed); one shared prepaid balance and cap; centralized billing and SSO |
| Enterprise | Custom | Usage pooled across Grok and Cursor |
Past the weekly pool: prepaid credit, the weekly reset, or a bigger plan. Legacy plans (Pro, Pro+, the old Ultra, Start, Teams Standard and Premium) keep working as they are, with two monthly pools and on-demand usage; Cursor gives no end date. Prices exclude taxes such as VAT.
Where to see your Cursor usage
On the new plans, Cursor shows what is left in your weekly pool and the next reset date in the editor's settings and on the Usage page at grok.com/dashboard; prepaid credit and the monthly additional usage limit are at grok.com/dashboard/billing. On a legacy plan, the Spending tab at cursor.com/dashboard showed both pools, on-demand charges and the reset date when we last checked it on 3 October. Either way it is a page you go and look at. The step-by-step version is in how to check Cursor usage.
How Cursor's pricing works
Each paid plan now includes one weekly pool for Cursor's own models, and the pool is shared across everything on the subscription: Agent in the editor, the CLI, Cloud Agents, Grok Bot, and the Grok apps (Chat, Imagine, Voice). It refreshes every week, so one heavy day does not use up your month.
- The model sets the rate. Cursor's models (Grok 4.7, 4.6, 4.5 and Composer 2.5) draw from the pool at different rates, so the same afternoon of Agent work uses up the week faster on a bigger model.
- Other providers' models are paid separately. Claude, GPT and the rest are not in the pool: on Premium and above you use them at API list price, from prepaid credit.
- Running out does not slow you down. Cursor says requests are never downgraded in quality or speed. You wait for the weekly reset, pay with prepaid credit (top-ups or Auto Top-up, capped by a monthly additional usage limit), or upgrade.
- The Grok API is separate. API usage bills at standard model rates and does not draw from the plan's pool.

Which plan fits
- Grok models are enough: Plus at $8.
- You want Claude or GPT models too: Premium at $30 is the first plan that allows them, billed on top at API list price.
- Agent every day: Super at $100, with 15 times Plus's weekly usage. If you keep buying credit on Premium, compare that spend with the $70 step up.
- Parallel agents all day: Ultra at $200, 50 times Plus.
- A team: Teams seats at $30, $100 or $200, each with its individual tier's weekly usage; usage pooled across the company is Enterprise.
The mistake that costs the most is upgrading on a feeling. Watch how much of the weekly pool you use for two weeks, then decide. Still on a legacy plan? The on-demand amounts at which each old step up paid off are in Cursor Pro vs Pro+ vs Ultra.

The hidden cost: credit and on-demand bills
Paying past the pool is convenient, and it is where people get surprised. On the new plans, Auto Top-up keeps buying credit for Cursor-model work beyond the pool and for every third-party model request, up to the monthly additional usage limit you set. On a legacy plan, on-demand usage bills at API rates in arrears, and the first you hear of it can be the invoice. What each model costs per token once you pay for it is in Cursor model pricing.
The fix is not avoiding the powerful models. It is seeing your usage as it happens, so that at 70% of the week or the month you can decide on purpose: pace the work, move routine tasks to a cheaper model, or upgrade.
How to track your Cursor cost
1. Cursor's own pages: editor settings and grok.com/dashboard on the new plans, the Spending tab of cursor.com/dashboard on a legacy plan. They tell you what already happened, when you go and look.
2. SessionWatcher: on a legacy plan, our Cursor usage tracker keeps spend, remaining budget and cycle timing in your Mac menu bar or Windows taskbar, with a usage-pace reading, a 7-day history, a model breakdown, and notifications at 70% and 90% by default. Support for the new weekly pool is being checked; this page will say so when it is confirmed.
SessionWatcher pricing (not the same as Cursor's)
To be clear: the prices above are what you pay Cursor for the editor. SessionWatcher is a separate, one-time-purchase app for Mac and Windows that watches that spend for you. It does not replace your Cursor subscription.
| SessionWatcher | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| For Cursor | $8.99 one-time | Live Cursor spend and budget tracking |
| Bundle | $19.99 one-time | Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor |
| Pro | $79 one-time or $24/year | Every tool + advanced features |
One licence key works on Mac and Windows: the $8.99 and Bundle licences cover 1 device, and Pro covers up to 5 devices, any mix of Macs and Windows PCs. If your company pays for Cursor Teams seats and wants SessionWatcher for the team too, Pro for Teams is $40 per seat per year (or $4 per seat per month, 3-seat minimum), one Pro licence per teammate. It covers Macs only for now, and it is not a central team dashboard: each person sees their own usage on their own machine.
All SessionWatcher plans come with a 14-day refund. At $8.99 once, it pays for itself the first time it helps you avoid an unnecessary tier upgrade or catch an on-demand bill before it grows.
Is Cursor worth it?
For developers who use it every day, Cursor is good value at the tier that matches their usage. Pick too low and you buy credit on top; pick too high and you pay $70 to $170 a month for weekly headroom you never use. Getting it right means knowing your real spend, which is exactly what SessionWatcher shows you. Cursor misbehaving right now? Check whether Cursor is down.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Cursor cost per month?
Free is $0. Plus is $8 a month (Grok and Composer models only), Premium $30, Super $100 and Ultra $200, with 4, 15 and 50 times the usage of Plus. Teams seats are $30, $100 or $200 a month (Premium, Super or Ultra usage per seat) and Enterprise, with pooled usage, is custom. Prices checked on cursor.com on 16 October 2026; they exclude taxes.
Does Cursor have a 5-hour limit or a weekly one?
Weekly. On the new plans every tier gets one pool of AI usage, shared across Cursor and Grok, that refreshes weekly, so one heavy day does not use up your month. Cursor documents no 5-hour window. Legacy plans (Pro, Pro+, the old Ultra, Start, Teams Standard and Premium) keep their two monthly pools.
What happens when you use up Cursor's weekly pool?
You can wait for the weekly reset, pay for more with prepaid credit (top-ups, or Auto Top-up, capped by a monthly additional usage limit), or upgrade. Cursor says requests are never downgraded in quality or speed. On a legacy plan you keep going with on-demand usage instead.
Can I still use Claude and GPT models in Cursor?
Yes, on Premium and above, at API list price paid from prepaid credit; they do not come out of the weekly pool. Plus and Free do not include them; Cursor lists Plus as its own models only (Grok and Composer).
How can I see my Cursor usage?
On the new plans, your editor settings and the Usage page at grok.com/dashboard show what is left in the weekly pool and the next reset; credit and billing are at grok.com/dashboard/billing. On a legacy plan it is the Spending tab at cursor.com/dashboard. SessionWatcher ($8.99 one-time, Mac and Windows) keeps legacy-plan spend, remaining budget and cycle timing in the Mac menu bar or Windows taskbar and notifies you at 70% and 90% by default.
