Cursor plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Pro | $20/month | 4 | +$20/month, 4 more features |
| Teams Standard | $40/user/month | 5 | +$20/user/month, 5 more features |
| Pro+ | $60/month | 2 | +$20/month, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Cursor in for ai-assisted coding, code generation, bug fixing, refactoring, learning new codebases, rapid prototyping. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Cursor are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Cursor
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between Free and $60/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Cursor runs on windows, macos, linux, and is published by Anysphere of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Cursor review.

- What is the difference between Hobby and Pro on Cursor?
- Pro costs $20/month against Free, and adds unlimited completions, 500 fast premium requests, composer multi-file editor, codebase indexing.
- Is the Pro+ plan on Cursor worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is 3x pro limits on agent requests, priority feature access. It costs $60/month against $20/month for Pro. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Cursor?
- The record lists 32 features across 6 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for ai-assisted coding, code generation, bug fixing.
- Does Cursor charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Cursor prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Cursor against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Cursor to make a useful price comparison.
